REACHA team visited farm of one of beneficiaries Mr. Dilip Kumar Taye.
Dilip’s village is located in the floodplains of the Brahmaputra River, faces annual flash floods and siltation, making paddy cultivation difficult. His family income suffered because of low productivity and limited knowledge of disease, soil, and fertilizer management. Because of flash foods 8 feet of sand from the river bank was deposited on his farmland.
Assam Smartpur team organized training on horticulture, in collaboration with Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) on crop types, seed bed preparation, soil mixing, pest management, and post-harvest handling. Dilip was identified as a participant through community meetings.
Impact: Dilip has applied the knowledge gained, improving his horticulture practices and has been able to introduce new varieties of fruits and vegetables to the area. Through training Dilip learned how to separate sand and soil. He now has a higher yield, positively impacting his household income and knowledge regarding flood resilience.
