INTRODUCTION
Village Bechchuara, Block Tindwari, District Banda, (Bundelkhand Region) was
adopted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Banda in 2018 under Prime Minister's vision of doubling
farmers income by 2022. Union Minister for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare said that
agriculture is very important for the country as there is a large population engaged in
agriculture. He stated that strengthening agriculture and the rural economy will strengthen
India so that the country can face challenges victoriously. Government is committed to
strengthening the economy and infrastructure of rural areas so that every facility become
easily available to villagers at their door-step. He appreciated the efforts of farmers,
Agricultural Scientists and the Central and State Governments for achieving self sufficiency
in food grains, horticulture and animal husbandry. He suggested that the disparity between
small farmers and big farmers should be bridged and benefits of technology and various
schemes should reach up to the small and marginal farmers. At before adoption, this village
was totally disadvantaged area for any farm technological interventions. The scientists of
KVK first interacted with the villagers and made PRA for various agricultural practices,
animal husbandry and horticultural activities. They encouraged to farmers with the
enthusiasm and efficiently delivered the technological backstopping of the villagers
especially the youth. The first scientific campaign was initiated for farmers in Rabi season of
2017-18.

Appropriate trainings and relevant field demonstrations were conducted after the
initial awareness programme. Efforts made by the scientists and the cooperation
extended by the villagers to the farming campaign led to 78% crop coverage in the
village in Kharif-2018-19 that used to be only 22-25% earlier to its adoption. The area
under double cropping was also increased from 20-50%.

Agricultural changes after adoption of village
Improved area in Sesamum cultivation: Farmers field’s demonstrations motivated
to other nearby farmers to adopt new technological interventions. The success of
KVK demonstrations with Sesamum variety TKS-308 recorded grain yield 8
quintals/hectare and a profit of Rs. 35560/ hectare.
Improved area in Pigeanpea cultivation: Water management technique
demonstrated by the KVK was a great hit among the farmers and there was a marked
increase in irrigation through private tube-wells. Ridge furrow sowing method,
inspired the technological management, farmer shifted to large scale cultivation of
pigeanpea variety IPA-203 giving a yield of 27.75 quintals/hectare.
Moongbean: Mungbean varity Shikha and IPM 2-3 were demonstrated in farmers
fields and it gave on average 14 quental/ ha grain yield with an anuual income of Rs
65000 /ha.
Urdbean: Urdbean varity Pratap urd was demonstrated in farmers fields and it gave
on average 10 quental/ ha grain yield with an anuual income of Rs 60000 /ha., IPU-2-

Plantation awareness program: Several fruit plants were distributed like guava,
citrus, papaya etc. for doubling farmer’s income.
Training on preparation of bio pesticide in village level:
Techniques of formulation and application of bio-pesticides at farmer’s fields were
demonstrated and farmers were trained to improve their skill and knowledge about
organic pest and disease control and management.
Vegetable cultivation: Vegetables are regular source of income and family
employment to farmers round the year .By spending a sum of Rs. 10,000 for
cultivation of chillies and brinjal, a profit of Rs. 40,000 was earned by the farmers.
Cultivation of brinjal alone gave a return of Rs. 45,000 per bigha for an investment of
just Rs. 5,000 only.
Social changes in the village: The rural youth and farm women mainly faced with
unprofitable farming and unemployment during offseason crop period and therefore,
most of the villagers, mainly the rural youth, were forced to migrate from village. The
technological support and partial input material provided by the KVK scientists gave
a confidence and new zeal to them and they are seriously occupied in agriculture.
Also now there is change in crop and varietal selection in oilseed and pulse
cultivation. These changes made crop diversification in agriculture.
