With Caritas India JEEVIKA we not mere only promote increase in agricultural production or increase in income through agriculture, but we promote a sustainable agriculture. Last month in Khandwa a series of work has been done to promote sustainable agriculture fro the upcoming Kharif crop. It includes motivating farmers for soil testing ( around 46 farmers have given sample for soil testing), preparation for organic inputs and training on land development and practices. In total it is promotion of overall practices of sustainable agriculture and is amongst korku tribes of Khandwa ( Korku tribes are one of the most undeprivleeged tribal population, suffers with situation like malnutrition, because of low production and non-sustainable production in agriculture). JEEVIKA is being implemented by KDSSS-Khandwa in 14 villages of Khalwal block. Pics are taken by KDSSS-Khandwa JEEVIKA team.
