Raipur | 19-Nov-2022 704

Farmer's lives have been improved by Narva development.

Increasing irrigation facilities in Kavadgaon has opened up new avenues for income generation.

There was an increase in the production of maize and vegetables.

Along with the ecosystem and biodiversity, farmers and locals can benefit from large-scale water conservation. With this in mind, the state government initiated Narva preservation in the state. The ambitious Narva Development Scheme, which was launched upon the formation of the new government, is already proving its worth by boosting agricultural productivity and adding value to minor forest products. River and drain rejuvenation has enhanced water conservation and levels of groundwater, while Water conservation structures built in Narva have increased irrigation facilities for farmers. Chiyoor Bahar Narva development work done by Dakshin Kondagaon Forest Division in Boti Kanera sub-zone of the state has afforded the farmers happiness and prosperity.

Narva treatment was carried out in the Chiyoor Bahar Nala coming out of the forested region as part of the CAMPA Annual Action Plan 2021-22. Through the Forest Management Committee, the people of Kakadgaon also actively participated in this. Farmers in the village benefited from the planned work done to revive the drain and Utilized the expanded irrigation system to improve their fortunes. On his 2 hectares of agricultural land near the Narva water conservation structure, farmer Somiram is now cultivating vegetables, including urad in Kharif and maize in Rabi. Somiram is grateful to have access to irrigation facilities because he previously had to rely on rain for farming and could only grow maize. But now that Narva has provided him with an irrigation system, he has installed a 3-horsepower electric pump on his farm. Along with maize, he is growing vegetables like lady finger, brinjal, pumpkin, and cluster beans on his land due to the expansion of irrigation facilities. As a result, his revenue has increased and he is now looked to as an example by other farmers in the area.
