In an era where our country has become the most populous in the world, the imperative for increased agricultural production has driven farmers to rely on unprecedented quantities of pesticides. While these chemicals do protect crops from pests, they ultimately infiltrate the soil, degrading its productivity, compromising crop quality, and even impacting the water table in the surrounding areas. The adverse effects of pesticide use on our health cannot be ignored, as they can lead to the development of various diseases. Recognizing this pressing issue, organic farming has emerged as a prominent solution within the agrarian economy. However, even after decades of poor farming practices, the remnants of pesticides and other toxic substances may still persist in the soil. Moreover, farmers face numerous challenges, including limited resources, low literacy levels, entrenched beliefs, lack of awareness, inadequate infrastructure, and financial constraints.
In light of these circumstances, Samriddha Gram has developed a systematic approach to lend credibility to the concept of "ORGANIC." Our organization aims to educate, empower, assist, and guide farmers in the production of high-quality crops. A crucial step in this process is the accurate diagnosis of soil fertility. Only by obtaining the right data and providing appropriate support can we liberate the soil from the burdens of harmful chemicals. To achieve this, Samriddha Gram is training farmers to test their soil using the DKD kit and DKD machine, both of which have been developed by Bharuwa Solutions Pvt. Ltd. These innovative tools enable farmers to assess the health of their soil accurately, allowing them to make informed decisions and take necessary actions to enhance its fertility.
By adopting this comprehensive approach, Samriddha Gram strives to revolutionize organic farming practices and ensure the production of safe and sustainable crops. Our mission is to create a harmonious balance between agricultural productivity and environmental preservation, benefiting both farmers and consumers alike. Together, we can pave the way for a healthier and more prosperous future in the realm of agriculture.
The DKD kit and machine provided by Samriddha Gram offer user-friendly solutions that do not require excessive technical know-how. The Kit helps farmers understand five key parameters of soil health, while the machine provides information on twelve parameters. These results are instantly and accurately generated, effectively reducing the time-consuming process of lab testing. Furthermore, the DKD system helps farmers determine the correct fertilizer based on their soil's specific needs. Another valuable aspect of the DKD system is the DKD mobile application. This innovative app records data, analyzes and interprets it, and provides farmers with advice on the best possible farming practices. It enables farmers to effectively utilize their land for mixed farming, taking into account their soil profile. Additionally, the app is linked with the Harit Kranti App, which offers specific fertilizer recommendations based on the study conducted by the DKD mobile application.
With the implementation of the DKD system, Samriddha Gram is empowering farmers with the tools and knowledge they need to optimize their farming practices. By combining cutting-edge technology with a user-friendly interface, we are making sustainable agriculture more accessible and efficient. Join us in creating a brighter future for agriculture, where productivity and environmental preservation go hand in hand. Some of the major ways we help farmers are:
- Holistic Soil Testing
- Tailored Recommendations
- Strategic Nutrient Management
- Knowledge Empowerment
- Continuous Support and Monitoring
Our unique training structure equips women-led SHGs to understand the complete cycle of soil testing transforming them into “Krishi Sakhis' or “Friends of Farming”. They not only voice Samriddha Gram’s efforts but also help farmers in understanding the overall layout of pesticide use, its effects, and their solutions.
Some of the numerous facets of training:
- Hands-on Learning Experience
- Customization for Local Conditions
- Holistic Understanding of Soil Health
- Adaptation to Technological Advances
- Continuous Learning and Support
- Community Engagement
Regarding all the information provided above, Samriddha Gram guarantees that farmers receive comprehensive CRM support, including field visits, technical assistance, regular follow-ups, updates on the latest practices, and an introduction to community structures. These activities represent only a fraction of our overarching vision to uplift farmers from economic crises and mitigate the detrimental effects of pesticides on their health. We are committed to sharing both the short and long-term impact of our endeavors, allowing you to experience the heartwarming joy of contributing to the very foundation of India - our farmers!
