8. Sri.Anil Kumar a farmer of Adivala
The MOTHER should had implemented
the project 10 years early...my 12 acre
land which was considered as waste, has
converted into fertile land due to RIDF
Sujala Project’s Soil and water conserva-
tion activities. Now expecting good yield
in Ragi cultivated in 12 acre.
Sri Gopalappa, Doddenahally
I am a marginal farmer with 1.2
acre dry land. Under TDF pro-
ject I planted 20 mango, 20
sapota & 400 forestry seed-
lings. Now along with horticul-
ture yield and I am earning from
forestry also. This time I sold forestry
plants cuttings worth of Rs.8500/-and using leaves as
green manure. TDF project focused on allround de-
velopment of farmers through orchard and IGA pro-
grams.
Sri T.Prakash S/o Thimmarayappa, Balenahally
I felt happy when Organic program entered our village.
Because I believe Mother earth. Even a feed of 15 tractor
load manure (worth of Rs.60000) made 2 acre areca nut
plant leaves yellowish and nuts were breaking. I was dis-
turbed. Under organic program I attended all the trainings
and exposures. Now I am a model farmer with bio-
digester, jeevamrutha, liquid manure, local cows, azolla,
honey bee keeping, japan model composting etc. I am
feeding liquid manure obtaining from biodigester for my
areca nut plantation. Very important to say is now
Rs.60000/- is saved and leaves remained green and
breaking of nuts reduced. Organic farming is showing a
new way to my agriculture life.
Smt Gowramma, Katanaya-
kanahally
I planted 20 Mango, 20
sapota & 20 Coconut seed-
lings under Sujala RIDF Pro-
ject. MOTHER staff guided
me about maintenance. But
all my struggles in feeding
water went in vain, because
of severe drought. Only 18
coconut and 1 sapota sur-
vived. I have not lose the
hope, I will plant again in
my own cost.
Sri Subbarayappa, Doddena-
hally
We laughed
when orchard development
under TDF project explained
by MOTHER. Today it has
created wonders with dry
land horticulture. Last year I
earned 2500 Rs from 500 kg
mango yield and this year
Rs.1800 from 150 kg sapota
yield and expecting good
yield in mango. Hope to get
more in future.
Smt Thayamma, Balenahally
I am getting 4 quintal vermin compost 3 months
once. I am feeding the same to areca nut planta-
tion since 11/2 years. Now my plants are
green and soil structure has been
changed. Soil is so smooth and
getting good yield also. And
earth worms are every-
where in my orchard. Hence
I decided to sale vermin com-
post in future.
Sri Nagaraju B, Jogaiahnapalya
Ours is a joint family with 60 acre land.
Salughattenala WDF project is a
beautiful project with employ-
ment creation and women de-
velopment activities. Entire
area is covered by soil and wa-
ter conservation activities. Im-
pact can be seen through increased
yield and we are expecting increase in
ground water level.
Sri Tataramaiah, Hunasekatte
Soil fertility has been increased after imple-
mentation of soil and water conservation
activities. My land is yielding 1.5 Q Jowar
in place of 0.5 Q, 1Q channa yield in-
creased to 2 Q. Water holding capacity
is also improved. This is all because of
Salughatte Nala WDF project.
