Migration from village to city has taken place on a large scale over the period of 30 years in independent India. Folks from backward states migrate to relatively developed metro cities, for the search of livings. Most of the people who migrate to earn higher than expectations possess agriculture land back home. They compromise staying in a congested room, a stinking street with full of mosquito and even in slum areas. Distinction move and glamour of metropolitan never allow them to understand the value of the small portion of land they have left behind.
Now the technology in India is moving at jet speed in agriculture sectors too, conquering over the general fallacy of mass that "villagers are poor". Now government making best efforts to make the income of farmers double fold by coming 2022, and allocating huge budget and subsidy to farmers.
For the mission of rising agriculture production, the government is tying up with another country for high-tech technology. Recently Indian government has signed up a deal with Israel government for new agriculture technology. Now in Gujrat state only, more than 50,000 farmers have availed benefits of the centre of excellence for protective cultivation and precision farming of vegetables under IIAP (Indo-Israel Agriculture Plan).
Samir Patel a B.sc chemistry from Gujrat, is earning 1.5 crores per year from his nursery by utilizing this innovative technology of farming. In 2014 his profit was 20 lakh but after adopting Israel technology his profit surges to 60 lakh per annum. He is now growing the variety of vegetables like potato, tomato, broccoli red cabbage etc. He has now signed a deal with many multinational and started supplying potato eventually surging his profit to Rs 1.5 crore per year.
In this technology, farmers grow vegetables or flowers in a controlled environment, where they can minimize heat of the menacing sun in may and June months. Protected farming never allow any insect to enter tent finally reducing all kind of plant disease. By doing farming with Poly-house, Net-house and Green-house a farmer can quarter fold his income and can reduce the cost of pesticide and fertilizers. Crop grown in Poly-house has longer life period that avoids frequent seeding in the farm. Once a crop is mature, can give yield for around 9 months compared to 4 months in conventional open farming.
Centre of excellence for vegetable project is established at Gharaunda district of Haryana state. Centre arranges training for interested farmers timely at regular interval to teach every subtle area of adopting and earning with this technology. Centre charges Rs 4000 for four days of stay, which include accommodation and lunch. For more information please click on the link provided below.
