OTHER PAST ACTIVITIES
New initiative by KVK : Ground nut Cultivation creating new avenues for farmers
Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) commonly known as peanut is widely grown as an oilseed crop. In the existing cropping pattern farmers are practicing the cultivation of
| Rice | Vegetable Pea | S. Rice | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | Wheat | Rice | |
| Rice | Vegetable Pea | Sugarcane ratoon | S. Rice |
Current crop cultivation practices in rice-wheat systems degrade the soil and water resources thereby threatening the sustainability of the system & encourage inappropriate land and input uses. It can be concluded that large scope exist to improve groundnut production and consumption for food uses in rural areas of district U.S.Nagar of Uttarakhand. Groundnut contributes importantly to household food and nutritional security. After harvesting of rabi crop, introduction of short duration legumes in summer may contribute to higher yields of kharif rice as the residues of leguminous crop decompose quickly and releases nutrients. Groundnut cultivation promotes soil health, reduces fertilizer requirement, low input and short duration crop. Finally, the technologies should find its way to the farmers fields, which is the ultimate goal of our endeavours.
| Parameter | Groundnut (TG37A) | S.Rice |
|---|---|---|
| Yield (q/ha) | 35 | 82 |
| Cost of Cultivation (Rs/ha) | 21,000 | 40,000 |
| Gross Return (Rs/ha) | 88,500 | 85,000 |
| Net Return (Rs/ha) |
Health Camp organized by KVK, Kashipur for the celebration of nutrition week
A nutrition week was organized in different blocks of district U.S.Nagar from 1-6 September, 2014 in which scientific interaction was held to enhance the knowledge of farm women towards low cost nutritious food products. Various value added soy products such as soy milk, soy namkeen, soy halwa, soy salad, soy paneer etc were method demonstrated and exhibited to popularize the nutritious food item among women. Technical literature related to dehydration of green leaves, storage techniques and recipes etc were provided to them. Health status of the farm women was assessed through BMI and MUAC.
Exposure visit organized by KVK Kashipur
Three days exposure visit to Karnal was organized by KVK, Kashipur from 21-23 Feb, 2015. Two subject Matter Specialist along with 20 farmer from various villages such as Dhaki, Banskhedi, Brahmnagar, Harinagar, shanitipuri, sitarganj, Panderi etc. of Udham Singh Nagar Uttarakhand visited Institution in the field of Agriculture & Animal Husbandry at Karnal, CSSRI, SBI, DWR & NDRI. These were visited to enhance the performance level & better management of Agricultural system. As a component of capacity building exposure visit has act as an important intervention to improve farmers competencies and increase in productivity with a purpose to accurate the rate of agricultural development.
Participation in Kisan Mela
Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kashipur participated in farmers fair organized by GBPUAT, Pantnagar (October, 2014 and March, 2015) and a three days kisan mela was organized by Danik Jagran at Rudrapur from 22-24 February, 2015 inaugurated by the Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Harish Rawat, Uttarakhand State. Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kashipur had put up stall and exhibited latest technologies and advancement talking place in the field agriculture and allied sector for wider dissemination of technology. Such as use of revolving stool for milking to reduce drudgery among farm women and crop production techniques in pulse crop and cereal crops. Awareness was also created on cultivation of groundnut during summer season in place of summer rice. District Magistrate and Chief Development Officer, Rudrapur visiting the stall during fair.
MINIMAL PROCESSING UNIT
Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kashipur under the concept of minimal processing unit is organizing trainings and providing technical information and guidance to rural women on processing and packing of spices,preservation techniques, bakery related etc. Processing of spices at domestic level is attracting women and they are feeling motivated to start this as home based enterprise. Under the minimal processing unit, established at Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) funded by ICAR, women are being trained and given method demonstration on grinding through grinding machine and finally packing them. They are being trained and encouraged for processing of turmeric (haldi) and coriander through grinding machine, technical knowledge on packaging and information on marketing of the same is also provided. KVK has conducted several training programmes on processing of haldi and coriander, biscuit/ cake making, processing and preservation techniques etc in which rural women have participated and gained technical know how. Field visits were also made for awareness generation among women on processing of spices for income generation. Following items/ equipments have been procured under minimal processing unit.
During the year 2015-16 and 2016-17 Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kashipur has selected tribal village Audhli, Sitarganj block for carrying out extension activities. In this village, detailed survey of the village revealed that tribal farm women of this village grow turmeric and they do no-get the optimum price of the same. Scientist have also conducted field visit which created awareness among women on processing of turmeric for income generation. They have been guided on cultivation aspect of turmeric production to enhance the yield. In this context, two farm women namely Sunita Devi and Rajnandni contacted Dr. Pratibha Singh, SMS, Home Science and gained technical information on processing of turmeric. This technique attracted these women and then they started processing of turmeric as an income generation enterprise at village level. Thereafter, these farm women processed and preparaed 5Q turmeric packets in 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg pack size for sale purpose. Their group has exhibited turmeric packets and these packets were launched by the Hon’ble Governor K.K.Paul, Uttarakhand during 100th All India Farmers Fair at GBPUA&T, Pantnagar during 17 th to 20th October, 2016. This resulted in monetary benefit and popularization of the turmeric packets prepared by the farm women of Audhli Village. This entrepreneurial activity helped in
