"Farm Pond; A venture of modern irrigation"

I am a small farmer of Nolkha village with 15 bigha of land. My livelihood depends on agriculture and the production of livestock I have. Electricity cut and shortage of irrigation water affected my cultivation very badly.There is only 6 hours electricity available in my village

  & these 6 hours are divided among me & my four bothers. Mahendra, staff of Life project advised me to construct a farm pond at upstream side of land for which 50% govt. subsidy is available. I consulted my other three brothers and did all the formalities to avail the subsidy for the pond of 40'x30'x6' dimension. With the staff I went in "Prashasan Apke Dwar Camp" and my application is approved and I got subsidy of Rs. 50,000/- for the pond. I am also planning to do fishery in this pond and earn additional income. Now I save electricity, time, money and labour in my agriculture work and teach others to do so. Thanks to Life for this wonderful venture

I learned save money and fulfill my needs of asking for money all the time from my husband. I help myself being a member of ... self Help group

	I got two times production of Jwar with the demo support of LIFE Project. I learned the impact of using certified seed and sowing seed and compost separately
	My dreams came true when my own shop was setup through motivation and consultation of LIFE Project Staff. Thanks !!
