- By adopting scientific farming, a woman farmer has reduced costs and raised expectations; using modern agricultural techniques has become an inspiration for other farmers.
Once worried about rising fertilizer costs and uncertain production, Mrs. Shakuntala, a female farmer from Kachhod village in the Manendragarh-Chirmiri-Bharatpur district, has today become a successful example of modern farming. She has proven that if farmers adopt new technologies over time and rely on scientific advice, even limited resources can yield better results.
Farming has been her family’s primary source of livelihood, but the annual rising costs and constant worries about production troubled her. During this time, she learned about IFFCO Nano DAP through the Agriculture Department and the Adim Jati Seva Sahakari Samiti Limited, Kachhod Branch, Manendragarh. Agricultural experts explained its scientific uses, its low dosage, its effectiveness, and its balanced nutrition. Trusting
in the new technology, Mrs. Shakuntala applied Nano DAP to her crops. Within a short time, positive changes became evident in her fields. Plant growth increased faster than before, the crop’s color became darker, and the plants appeared stronger. This gave her hope for better production and boosted her confidence in farming.
The use of Nano DAP reduced costs compared to traditional fertilizers. Better nutrition at a lower cost made farming more profitable. This experience proved to be a new beginning for her. Now, she confidently states that adopting modern agricultural techniques is the most urgent need of the hour. Mrs. Shakuntala explains that she was initially skeptical about this technology, but after seeing the results, her thinking completely changed. Now, she is inspiring women farmers in her village and surrounding areas to practice scientific farming, balanced fertilizer management, and the use of Nano DAP. She believes that if farmers adopt the right technology at the right time, it is possible to achieve higher production at lower costs.
Her success is not just a farmer’s achievement, but also a message that effective use of modern technology and scientific guidance provided to farmers by the Agriculture Department can transform farming. Today, Mrs. Shakuntala has established a new identity in her region as a self-reliant, aware, and progressive woman farmer. Her inspiring journey instills the belief that with modern technology, accurate information, and determination, farming can become more prosperous, sustainable, and profitable.
