The “Law and Swwaja compost” campaign will cover six tribal districts, located on Rajasthan, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh trijunction.
The campaign for improving land health in the agricultural areas of Banswara and the adjacent districts in South Rajasthan is ready to seize the rural woman in the tribal region. The journey will ensure agricultural sustainability and establish women in the leading roles and at the same time strengthens the rural economy.
The “Swawaj campaign in the soil and compost” involves the modernization of traditional manure on cow and farms through scientific methods and increasing the fertility of land by enriching it with rock phosphate and biofertilisers. Women will have training in the field of soil testing, compost production, team setup and operation management.
Collector Banswara Indrajeet Yadav, who launched a campaign at the weekend, said it was a unique effort to help farmers and women to strengthen soil fertility and agriculture profitability. “This unit will be a strong step towards self -sufficiency by using local sources better,” Yadav said.
The construction of a pit, composting, distribution of materials and community actions to be carried out by November this year will increase crop productivity and reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers. Farmers will also receive relief from the burden of rising costs for agricultural entrances.
The campaign will include six tribal districts found on the triunction of Rajasthane, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. Jayesh Joshi, Secretary of the Bansware Vaagdhara voluntary group, said the input costs incurred by farmers are likely to decrease by 15% to 20% as a result of the drive, while the crop yield would increase by 20% to 30%.
Vaagdhara, who works on tribal livelihood issues in South Rajasthan, has gained the technical support and leadership of the University of Agriculture and Technology Maharan Pratap University of Agriculture and Technology for the campaign. Mr. Joshi said that teams led by women would maintain the continuity of the production and distribution of compost in villages, making it a “complex model” of rural development.
It is important that the initiative is in line with the objective of the state government to improve the productivity of agriculture, seize women economically and support sustainable agricultural procedures. It also supports schemes as a national mission scheme in the countryside for livelihood and soil health.
