Integrated Agriculture Development

This intervention aims to improve farm productivity and hence incomes by promoting a package of efficient farm practices and technologies. During 2005-06, 70 group irrigation projects and 235 sprinkler sets covering 445 farmers were installed for demonstration. The efficiency of water-use through such systems have been documented comprehensively with a view to sharing the information with farmers through the e-Choupal network. 842 demonstration plots were promoted during the year to demonstrate new varieties and better farm management practices. 4,091 composting units were established during the year comprising 2,712 vermi-compost pits and 1,379 NADEP units.
