The MP Government and the Central Government have decided to make a movie on the story of those farmers who are producing a tremendous quantity of crops on small farms. Most of these farmers are earning millions from their small fields.

With this move, the Government aims to inspire and encourage other small farmers of the nation, so that they can also increase their production through these advanced farming methods. The task of making this film has been given to an organization in Gujarat. The team will soon start its research work from Sheopur in the coming month.

Farmer changed his life with pomegranate farming

Farmer Trilok Toshniwal from Zaida village turned his 8 bighas rocky land into a fertile farm with his hard work and patience. Then he began growing pomegranate and other fruit plants on this farm, and today he is earning 15 to 20 lakhs per anum from the same field. Now, his story will also be shown in the film.

Guava cultivation changed farmers’ destiny

Many farmers of Jwalapur and Soikala region of Madhya Pradesh had shifted their focus from traditional farming and start concentrating on guava cultivation a few years ago. Their hard work had started paying off as they are earning 8 to 10 lakh rupees per anum from guava farming with just 5 to 8 bighas of land. Their success story would also be included in this film.

The government launched FPO Scheme, 86 percent farmers will be benefited.

05/03/2020Posted on

There’s good news for Indian farmers as the Central Government has recently launched an enthusiastic programme to develop around 10,000 FPOs (Farmers Producers Organisations) throughout the nation. These FPO’s would be beneficial mostly for those small and marginal farmers, whose landholdings are less than one hectare. According to a media report, such farmers account for 86 per cent of total farmers in the country. 

The FPOs (Farmers Producers Organisations) are member-based organisations. Which means that in an FPO, farmers will be the members. These organisations will include experts from various fields like agri-marketing, crop husbandry, value-addition & processing, and Information technology etc. so that they can help farmers on all issues.  The Central government has allocated a fund of Rs 4,496 crore for this project. These FPOs are expected to be set up over a five-year period i.e. till 2024.

This project will provide small farmers with a platform to resolve various challenges in the process of farming. While launching the scheme on Saturday (29 February), the Prime minister himself had said that these FPOs will turn the farmers into businessmen.
