Progressive farming at Salai Mendha gets PDKV vice-chancellor attention
1 2 Nagpur: Dr Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth (PDKV), Akola, vice-chancellor Sharad Gadakh on Saturday visited Salai Mendha, a model village under the Rural Agricultural Work Experience (RAWE) programme in Hingna tehsil. The key objective was to interact with farmers, review students' field experiences and promote sustainable farming practices in rural settings. The VC praised efforts made in Salai Mendha over the past three years, which include the implementation of Azolla units, composting, mulberry plantations, high-density cropping, and drip irrigation techniques. "The significance of a village lies not in its size but in the extent of technology adoption," the VC said. He also stressed sustainable agriculture, organic practices, agri-innovation and economic empowerment of farmers. "Today's farmer is not just a producer, but a future agri-entrepreneur," he said. At the farm of Sandeep Masram, Gadakh observed the cultivation of mulberry, while at Gajanan Bharde's farm, he witnessed intercropping, vegetable farming, and drumstick cultivation, all examples of maximising production from limited land. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like A Teaspoon Before Bed Burns Body Fat - Fit Into Your Clothes Again!
