Experience in Nagarukhra

Nagarukhra is the gram panchayet in Haringhata 2 block of Nadia district. I collected data from the farmers in the panchayet office. Shri Dhiren Bhowmick, farmer and school teacher and Shri Anil Majhi, office bearer of Panchayet assisted to conduct training there. Here, the farmers need the followings:
1. Soil testing: Most of the farmers apply chemical fertilizer without considering the soil quality analysis. This results in loss of land fertility.

2. Training: Here farmers are highly motivated to cultivate and most of them reported profit in cultivation. They want training. They are misguided by middle men due to lack of knowledge about creation of new consumers and new bazars.

3. Purchasing bill: Some farmers complained of non return of cash memo after purchase the fertilizer, pesticides etc.

4. Stopping faulty campaign: Due to faulty information, some farmers started multiple profession along with agriculture.
