On 13th December 2021, Monday Mukti in association with “OAK Foundation” organized a meeting with the vulnerable framer groups of Herembogopalpur GP on the Need Analysis in Farming under ACV (Amplifying Community Voices) Project.
Mukti field staff, project coordinator – Mr. Pinaki Naiya, Mr. Apurba Karan, Mr. Anup Jana, Ms. Panchami Shit and Ms. Nandita Jayraman with 11 farmers from Gangaghat Pally, kuyemuri Mouja , Heramba Gopalpur GP under Patharpratima Blockhave participate in the meeting.
A detailed discussion is made to understand the present situation and challenges faced by the farmers. From Aila to Yaas, farmers have experienced many difficulties in farming. As the nature of the soil is also changing due to the severe effects of frequent floods and disasters, the farming method has also changed.
Considering this situation, this meeting is organized to analyze the necessary requirements of the farmers to continue their farming in the upcoming years.
Throughout the conversation, many requirements have been raised by the farmers’ group, such as organic farming, soil testing, market linkages etc.
The formation of a larger farmers group with similar requirements has been planned during the discussion.
