Chhattisgarh’s Innovation in Agriculture Narwa, Garuwa, Ghuruwa, & Badi Four Pillars of Transformation Department of Agriculture Development and Farmer Welfare and Bio-Technology Page 1 Government of Chhattisgarh
About Narwa, Garuwa, Ghuruwa, Badi (NGGB) ��� � �� Chhattisgarh has outlined the roadmap of rural transformation, by using indigenous knowledge and technology through water conservation, livestock management, encouragement of organic manure and backyard nutrition This project is aimed at bringing resource efficient growth in the villages making best use of resource available in the villages Page 2
About Narwa, Garuwa, Ghuruwa, Badi (NGGB) Narwa (���� ): Rivulets regeneration ü The drainage line recharge system from origin ü to facilitate increase in cropping intensity Garuwa (����� ): Cattle Conservation ü Cattle productivity enhancement ü Prevent cattle from straying into fields Ghuruwa (����� ): Bio-composting ü to improve soil fertility through organic manure produced with farm residue and organic waste Badi (���� ): Backyard nutritional support ü Support additional income generation ü Fulfil the nutrition gaps Page 3
About Narwa, Garuwa, Ghuruwa, Badi (NGGB) ülow-cost water conservation structures such as check dams, gully Narwa controls, underground dykes at strategic locations on water streams in order to ensure harvesting surface water and recharge of subsoil as well as groundwater üProtection and improvement of livestock, through the provision of cattle sheds in each village. These 'Day care centres’ will be equipped Garuwa with fodder, water, and AI/vaccination/treatment facilities. Apart from protection to crops from animal grazing (increasing cropping intensity), organic manure through composting and energy from Gobar gas will be accrued benefits to villagers Page 4
About Narwa, Garuwa, Ghuruwa, Badi (NGGB) Ghuruwa üDesigned to encourage villagers to produce organic manure with the help of various schemes. Encouraging production of organic manure through nadep / decomposer / vermi compost, is essential to improve soil fertility üTo encourage cultivation of fruits and vegetables in the backyard of village Badi homes not only as a source of additional and regular income for villagers but also as handy nutritional supplement. Departments will develop the backyard kitchen gardens by providing seed, seedlings, nursery, common irrigation, gravitation drip system, etc Page 5
Need for NGGB intervention • To boost higher agriculture growth • Only 1/3 rd of farmers practice double cropping because of; ü Poor water availability (32% irrigated area) ü Straying of unclaimed cattle into farms is leading to major losses • To promote optimum use of rain water through water management structures resulting in recharging the ground water table. This will also increase the irrigation potential • High rate of malnutrition and undernourishment among children and women • Indicators of health and nutrition among the tribal section (33% of population) is even more worrisome • To promote organic farming, as currently use of chemical fertilizers is increasing which is leading to deteriorating soil health • To improve cattle productivity Page 6
Current characteristics that aid the NGGB intervention • 80% of population is engaged in agriculture based livelihood • Abundant availability of rainfall (1250 mm), which can be captured to benefit farmers • States spend on agriculture and the sector’s contribution to State GDP is increasing. Agriculture budget Increased by 49% in 2019 -20, to the tune of ₹ 21, 000 Cr • Sector has been growing consistently every year since 2012 -13 (21% in 2017 -18) • As per APEDA, cultivated area under organic certification process in Chhattisgarh has increased by 10, 824. 36 hectare in last 5 years Page 7
Overview of NGGB • Convergence of different departments like Agriculture, WRD, Forest, Panchayat & Rural Development, CREDA, Horticulture, Animal Husbandry, etc • Committees at state and district level. Agriculture department is the nodal agency at state level • Collector heads the program at district level and is provided flexibility as per local conditions • No separate funding is provided. The program utilizes funds from different schemes like MGNREGA, PMKSY, Bio-gas schemes, CREDA, DMF • Focus is on farmers’ welfare Page 8
Narwa • One Nala selected in each block initially for treatment from origin till the tail • Structures to be made to impound water based on GIS mapping • Rejuvenation of old structures too • Use of various schemes like MGNREGA, IWMP, MIT, etc • Focus on water conservation and increase in irrigated area as irrigation area is only 36% in Chhattisgarh • Aquifers will be recharged and ground water level will increase Page 9
Gothan • CPT and fencing around 3 to 6 acres of land, identified on the basis of number of cattle • Water facilities through pond / solar pump • Dry fodder by contribution from villagers • Animal sheds and plants for shade • Facilities to be included at each Gothan - chalf cutter, travis and medicines for animals • Vermi-composting pits and beds will help in production of organic manure • Bio-gas plants for community • Gothan Samiti of locals will take decisions regarding the functioning and management of Gothan • Local Charwaha will be utilized through various schemes • Plantation will be carried out all around the Gothan • Breed improvement through AI will result in increasing the Milk production Page 10
Charagah • Green fodder will be grown to supplement dry fodder • Patch of 5 to 20 acres of land identified near the Gothan in each selected Gram Panchayat • Use of different schemes like MGNREGA for land-levelling and other schemes like DMF for solar pump and drip irrigation for irrigating it • Fast growing varieties like Napier, Barshin will be grown depending on the local conditions Page 11
Ghuruwa • Organic manure production through vermi-compost and Nadep pits through various schemes like MGNREGA • Scientific upgradation of traditional Ghuruwas • Organic manure will be used in Badis • Bio-gas plants of capacities 2, 3, 4 Cu. Mtr through CREDA department Page 12
Badi • To be developed in the backyard / badi of farmers alongside their houses • Dugwells through MGNREGA and solar pump to irrigate the Badi of a group of 4 to 5 farmers • Fast growing variety of vegetables and fruits • Compost pits for manures • Nutritious foods for households • Will reduce import of vegetables from outside Page 13
