The founder of Harit Parivar
(Pune) Shri Mahendra Ghagare, who was invited to share his experiences with the
farmers, had spent hours together discussing various issues related to the
modern/beneficial farming trends, particularly while facing continuous
shortfall of rain. The KVK-sagroli has
arranged the event at Manik Prabhu Math (Sagroli) on 23rd of May.
Shri.
Ghagare, strongly advocated the practices of alternate commercial crops along
with the conventional crops. He said,
plantation of sandalwood is so beneficial especially when the farmers had to pass through unpredictable and
drought condition of weather for years together.
Going
by the statistics, at the end of 16-18
years, one acre of sandal wood plantation yields approximately 2 crore rupees
of absolute profit. Moreover, after the 4th year of
plantation, the farmer can continuously practices intercrops to meet the
expenditure on the maintenance of the plantation and keep the agricultural land
engaged.
The
other benefits include, as the chairman, SSM, Shri Pramod Deshmukh quoted, the
saplings will be provided free of cost by the KVK Sagroli. Further, It was also suggested to take up
this task as group farming so as to share responsibilities of maintenance, in
turns.
