Support a poor tribal farmer with seeds

Impact

Kalki Bai is a widowed farmer from Surajgarh village. Owing to the poor quality of her crop she could never sell her produce at a good price. This, in turn, meant that she never had enough money to buy seeds. RBKS provided her with seeds, and constructed a Vermi-compost unit on her field. She was provided training on producing the compost. Exposure trips were conducted for a first-hand experience. Production on her land increased by 25%. She sells her produce at a good price and is able to purchase certified seeds. She also uses the vermin compost from her own unit. She is an expert in seed selection and vermicomposting. A small intervention like this can transform a life and enhance the quality of our agricultural produce.

About The Program

RBKS works with poor and marginal farmers under their food security program. Farmers are provided with seeds & vermicompost and are also trained in preparing vermicompost. This activity helps the whole family as both men and women are engaged in farming. Male members of the family work during sowing and mulching, but the day-to-day care of the crops is done by women. RBKS field workers select beneficiaries based on economic background. The farmers are trained to prepare the compost and its benefits by agriculture experts before and after the sowing of the field. The progress is tracked on a weekly basis. Farmers are one of the worst cared communities. It is important for us as a nation to take care their needs to grow as a better crop. Our country is truly developed only when it's farmers are content. You can help the farmers through this program.
