Agriculture Development Program
Agriculture is the mainstay of people, especially in the rural hinterland. However, unless development in the agriculture does not keep pace with change in favor of customer needs, preferences and significant challenges related to climatic conditions, the plight of farmers will continue to remain unfavorable.
KRWCDS works closely to provide technical support to farmers, equipping them with knowledge, skills and know-how while also building linkages to vibrant market is driven platforms and networks giving a boost to the agriculture economy.
Our project is focused on making agriculture more productive, innovative, sustainable, remunerative and climate resilient by promoting integrating farming techniques. In this regard, project team works to bring behavior change by generating awareness among farmers about paddy burning, alternative technologies and other government schemes, and conduct advocacy meetings with the government officials to integrate alternative solutions.

-
To demonstrate the most effective ways of increasing production and thus, to provide lessons for extending such intensified agricultural production programes to other areas.
-
Developing wastelands/degraded lands, drought-prone and desert areas on watershed basis, keeping in view the land capability, site-conditions and local needs.
-
Restoring ecological balance by harnessing, conserving and developing natural resources i.e. land, water and vegetative cover.
Agriculture Development
