‘Women & Child Welfare Society’ is a community based organization working
in rural areas of Odisha state basically in Cuttack, Mayurbhanj, Jajpur,
Kendrapada, Khordha district. The organization holds awareness camps on
organic farming for small farmers, in which vital information about the benefits of
organic farming is given to them. They are made aware of the importance of
organic farming for better agricultural production with minimum expenses. A
large number of farmers coming from surrounding villages take part in these
programmes. During the programme, training is also given in the techniques and
use of organic manures. The farmers learn about why the use of chemical
fertilizers is harming the fertility of their land. The use of chemical fertilizers in
agriculture is also very harmful for our health as it badly affects our immunity
system. The participants also discuss various issues related to environment
protection and biodiversity conservation.
During the training programme, the farmers are given demonstration on how
to produce organic manure and use it effectively in their fields. All the farmers
participating in these training programmes take very keen interest in learning
about new agricultural techniques and are very eager to adopt organic farming.
The farmers also discuss how to develop forward linkages for successful
marketing of their organic produce. The organization is also helping them
develop small nurseries based on organic manures and insecticides, which
provides free seedlings to small farmers and encourages them to adopt organic
farming.
