Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Agriculture in 24 Parganas South district is fundamentally a three-month rice based mono crop. Thus, vast resources such as labour, land and ponds lie unutilized the rest of the year. If the farming style was to be shifted from mono cropping to multi cropping, farmers could be engaged in farming throughout the year, leading to more resource mobilization and increase in productivity and income of the poor people.

Activities

Introduction of sunflower and vegetables as a second crop, setting of the infrastructure, training, and cultivation. Setting of a processing division, storage, transport and marketing of products.
