1. VERMI –TECHNOLOGY
A VIABLE INCOME GENERATING UNIT FOR LIVELIHOOD SECURITY
Introduction
The increase in human population has led to food scarcity. To increase food production agriculturalist are tempted to use more amounts of chemical fertilizers and pesticides frequently, which cause several hazards to soil micro flora, which in turn affect fertility. For instance chemical fertilizers like Ammonium sulphate, Ammonium chloride and urea reduce the soil pH, Chlorides are highly toxic to most of the crop plants. The accumulation of chemicals by bio magnification in plants and their products causes several diseases in human beings. Infant disease such as methanoglobinaemia is caused due to nitrogen containing fertilizers. The residues of chemical fertilizers cause concern over the safety of food and sustainable production. Hence, it becomes comparative for the all community, especially; researcher’s planners and farmer to develop /use an alternative viable strategy to counter act the problem.
Intervention
Under present day, condition it becomes very essential to protect environment from further degradation, develop appropriate technologies for use in recycling various organic wastes and to harness energy thus minimizing, environmental stresses.
Vermitechnology is a promising technique that has shown its potential in certain challenging area like augmentation of food production, waste recycling management of solid wastes etc. Vermi composing is an eco-friendly, economical efficient novel technology that can be applied to utilize agricultural and other organic wastes. This technology also provides opportunities for self-employment for rural youth by utilizing the available agricultural resources.
District Pulwama is one of the most popular district of the Jammu and Kashmir state for its diversifying agricultural practices, because farmers of this district are not cultivating horticulture/Agriculture. Crops in their field but also rare a good number of live stocks and poultry. Their wastes are the basic and excellent raw material for vermicompost. Keeping this fact in view KVK pulwama is imparting number of income generative training courses like poultry farming , Mushroom cultivation, Beekeeping , vermin technology etc to the unemployed rural youths every year. In the years 2014 and 2015 two training’s on vermin technology was imparted to the 10 no. of rural youths of this district
Page 14
KVK concentrated on a group of rural youth of different village of this district who were very much interested in trying hard in vermicomposting .They were trained and provided literature and day to day advices. After persuasive by the KVK scientist some rural youth of different village of the district showed their interest for adopting vermicomposting to their farm especially apple orchards / vegetables .Among these are:- 1. Muzamil Ah. Dar R/O Renzipora Pulwama 2. Mudasir Ahmed Mir R/O Dadasoura (Tral) 3. Manzoor Ahmed Bhat R/O Palhelpora Chutripora(Pulwama) 4. Parveez Ahmed Bhat R/O Keegam (Pulwama 5. Riyaz Ahmed Dar R/O Drubgam (Pulwam 6. Bashir Ah.Bhat R/O Banagund ( Pulwama ) 7. Gh.Hassan R/O Zadoora ( Pulwama ) 8. Ab.Majeed Mir R/O Renzipora ( Pulwama ) 9. Gulzar Ahmed Dar R/O Renzipora ( Pulwama) 10. Mudasir Ahmed Bhat R/O Rajpora (Pulwama . Output
All ten participants adopted Vermiculture as they constructed their own vermicomposting unit on small scale but one among them namely set up their unit on commercial base and produced 320qtls of vermicompost and earned Rs.4,80000.00 and got net profit of Rs. 2,26400 with BC Ratio of 1:1.89. The statistical details of which are as under:-

Note:- Similarly profitable vermicompost units were setup by other above mentioned farmers with almost similar profit /returns
Outcome :- The inorganic inputs in the Horti/Agri. Crops become less day by day due to their hardness in the soil health. Adoption of this technology has benefitted not only the producer but also the villagers by using this value added product with a ready availability at their door step to reduce the soil pollution.
Impact :- Considering the returns/unit, this has encouraged more rural youth to take the enterprise that were mostly inclined towards organic farming only. This can have a
Page 16
profound effect on boosting the organic farming in the vicinity of the village.
Note :- This amount is earned by this youth as a part time job in addition to his daily business.
Innovative Approach for Transformation of Monoculture Farming into Integrated Farming.
All over the world, farmers work hard but do not make money especially small
farmers; because there is very little left after they pay for all inputs (seeds, livestock
breeds, fertilizers, pesticides, energy feed labour, etc. The emergence of integrated
farming system (IFS) has enable us to develop a frame work for an alternative
development model to improve the feasibility of small sized farming operations in
relation to large one . In this system an inter-related set of enterprises used so that the
“waste” from one component becomes an input for another part of the system, which
reduces cost and improves production and /or income Integrated farming system
ensure that wastes from one farm of agriculture become a resource for another farm.
Since it utilizes wastes as recourses, we not only eliminate wastes but we also ensure
overall increase in productivity for the whole agricultural systems.
Modern agricultural sector evolves greater use of technology and has a greater
potential for bring about socio-economic transformation among the farmers in rural
areas. The substance of rural livelihood is currently at stake in the whole country and
especially in J&K state in the face of economic liberalization. Livelihood options
changes like drought, iraticrain fall and iratric behavior factors are also responsible for
decreasing productivity and profitability per unit area leading to decreasing interest of
farmers in the Agri-farming.
No doubt district Pulwama is known for diversifying agricultural among other
districts of J&K, but most of farmers follows monoculture farming practice only in
this district. In apple growing areas farmers are behind apple cultivation and in
saffron/Paddy growing areas farmers cultivate saffron/paddy only resulting in high
risk to both types of farmers. To overcome this problem of high risk factor and less
Page 17
profitability integrated farming can be the answer of these problems.
Interventions:-
Mr. Mohi-u-din has adopted integrated
farming system (crop dairy, fruit,
vegetable cultivation, vermin
composting) at his farm with improved
technologies under technical guidance of
KVK Pulwama. He has established,
deep bore well and sprinkle
irrigation which has increased the crop
productivity and improved water use efficiency.
The use of farm machinery in agricultural
operation such as mini tractor, weeder, spray
pumps etc. has reduced the cost of cultivation
resulting higher profitability. The productivity of
animal was increased by use of mineral mixture
and proper health management. The recycling of farm and home waste through
vermin culture and making vermin
composting is also one of the major
enterprises in his farm through which he has
reduced the use of reduced the use of
chemical fertilizers and increased the soil
fertility and reduced the weed /other harzards
infestation. Presently his average net annual
income is about Rs.4,45,650/- lakh with B:C

Total Impact of Innovations:-
A. Horizontal Expansions:- impressed by the progress made by the innovative farmer Mr. Mudasir Ahmad Mir, most of the farmers/villager in the vicinity of his farm got motivated to start integrated farming instead of monoculture farming under the effective direction and guidance of Mr.Mudasir Ahmad Mir and team of scientists from this kvk.
B. Employment Generations:- Mr.Mudasir Ahmad Mir being a progressive farmer has expanded his agri /horti/vermi and other activities and also provided direct and indirect employment of about 10-15 local source.
11. Details of indigenous technology practiced by the farmers in the KVK operational area
S. No.
Crop / Enterprise
ITK Practiced Purpose of ITK
1 Maize / Rajmash
Mixed cropping of Rajmash and Maize is being practiced by the farming community of the area
Since the Rajamash variety Canadian Red is pole type as such it is grown in maize fields in order to save staking of Rajmash plants.
2 Use of wood ash as insecticide
It is believed wood ash produced in the kitchen is spread on the seed beds and vegetable beds for controlling the insects because saw dust has been seen to have insecticidal property
This technology can be used for development of an organic insecticide for controlling insects in kitchen gardens.
3 Saffron as intercrop in almond orchards
Observed that by the time almond is harvested, the various cultural operations for saffron cultivation start as such the income of the farmers is increased by intercropping
Because the farmers have abandoned this practice as the existing almond plantation has become old as such the practice of growing almond in saffron area can be revived for better profit
