| Like most other farmers, I depended on
chemical fertilisers to boost productivity. I
joined ITC’s training programme and went on
exposure visits, attended training camps – I
even did residential training at G.B. Pant
University and field training in Himachal
Pradesh. Now I produce organic compost –
both vermi and NADEP – which I sell and also
use in my fields. The sale of worms has given
me a useful additional income. Today, apart
from growing the major Rabi and Kharif crops,
I also grow mushrooms and strawberries from
which I make much higher products. My
experience has changed my outlook and I am
now trying to motivate other farmers in my
village to adopt these practices that will
enable them to earn more as well as keep our
land fertile in the long term. |

ITC offers facilitation to farmers to form agri-business societies, pool knowledge and resources, improve productivity and quality, and reach out beyond local markets to sell at better margins. |
