Kudumbashree Kasaragod District Mission has come up with an innovative scheme to fully support the farmers of Kasaragod district. The district is implementing 'One House One Agriculture Tool' scheme in association with the Kasaragod District Panchayath. This project is being implemented with the aim of promoting and spreading agriculture in the district. The objectives of the project are to provide necessary agricultural equipments to the farmers and to provide technical support for the same and to promote scientific farming methods. Strengthening of Farmer Facilitation Center or FFC under CDS is also a target.
So far, four tractors have been made available through the project. Tractors were given to Kudumbashree Pavizham Farming Group (Joint Liability Group) of Muliyar Panchayath, Cheruvathoor Panchayath CDS and Team Bedakam Agro Producer Company. These activities are part of the Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM) project. Kudumbashree carries out activities including locating beneficiaries, helping them with online registration and support in obtaining subsidy and extending them support. District Panchayath provides subsidy to consumers who are not getting subsidy through this scheme. So far Rs 40 lakhs have been made available in this way.
Harvesting machine, seedling planting machine, medicine spraying drone etc. will also be made available. Training will also be provided to understand the technology of these machines. As part of this, drone training will be given to ten women members of Kudumbashree by the end of August.
