Local farmers are provided itch-free variety and being sent groups of 10 to Bilaspur to learn method of its cultivation.<br /><br />&quot;In its first phase, cultivation of yam would be taken as pilot project. For this, 50 groups of farmers have been formed and each group would cultivate in half acre of land on trial basis,&quot; said agriculture department deputy director Chiranjeev Sarkar.<br /><br />The itch-free variety seed called 'Gajendra' is being procured from Andhra Pradesh and this variety could be eaten raw. &quot;Further, on reaping harvest, the produce would be sold in vegetable markets of Kanker, Raipur and Dhamtari. In future, if the harvest flourishes abundantly, new markets could be explored,&quot; he added. Farmers are also being provided with turmeric seeds for sowing on outskirts of fields. Sarkar said local farmers already acknowledge the ayurvedic properties and health benefits of this vegetable, hence they are ready to grow it in their fields. <br /></div><div align="justify">&nbsp;</div><div align="justify"><em>The Times of India, 28 July, 2015, <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/raipur/Bastar-farmers-learn-itch-free-yam-farming/articleshow/48244267.cms" title="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/raipur/Bastar-farmers-learn-itch-free-yam-farming/articleshow/48244267.cms">http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/raipur/Bastar-farm<br />ers-learn-itch-free-yam-farming/articleshow/48244267.cms</a></em> <br /></div>

Local farmers are provided itch-free variety and being sent groups of 10 to Bilaspur to learn method of its cultivation.<br /><br />&quot;In its first phase, cultivation of yam would be taken as pilot project. For this, 50 groups of farmers have been formed and each group would cultivate in half acre of land on trial basis,&quot; said agriculture department deputy director Chiranjeev Sarkar.<br /><br />The itch-free variety seed called 'Gajendra' is being procured from Andhra Pradesh and this variety could be eaten raw. &quot;Further, on reaping harvest, the produce would be sold in vegetable markets of Kanker, Raipur and Dhamtari. In future, if the harvest flourishes abundantly, new markets could be explored,&quot; he added. Farmers are also being provided with turmeric seeds for sowing on outskirts of fields. Sarkar said local farmers already acknowledge the ayurvedic properties and health benefits of this vegetable, hence they are ready to grow it in their fields. <br /></div><div align="justify">&nbsp;</div><div align="justify"><em>The Times of India, 28 July, 2015, <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/raipur/Bastar-farmers-learn-itch-free-yam-farming/articleshow/48244267.cms" title="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/raipur/Bastar-farmers-learn-itch-free-yam-farming/articleshow/48244267.cms">http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/raipur/Bastar-farm<br />ers-learn-itch-free-yam-farming/articleshow/48244267.cms</a></em> <br /></div>

Local farmers are provided itch-free variety and being sent groups of 10 to Bilaspur to learn method of its cultivation.<br /><br />&quot;In its first phase, cultivation of yam would be taken as pilot project. For this, 50 groups of farmers have been formed and each group would cultivate in half acre of land on trial basis,&quot; said agriculture department deputy director Chiranjeev Sarkar.<br /><br />The itch-free variety seed called 'Gajendra' is being procured from Andhra Pradesh and this variety could be eaten raw. &quot;Further, on reaping harvest, the produce would be sold in vegetable markets of Kanker, Raipur and Dhamtari. In future, if the harvest flourishes abundantly, new markets could be explored,&quot; he added. Farmers are also being provided with turmeric seeds for sowing on outskirts of fields. Sarkar said local farmers already acknowledge the ayurvedic properties and health benefits of this vegetable, hence they are ready to grow it in their fields. <br /></div><div align="justify">&nbsp;</div><div align="justify"><em>The Times of India, 28 July, 2015, <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/raipur/Bastar-farmers-learn-itch-free-yam-farming/articleshow/48244267.cms" title="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/raipur/Bastar-farmers-learn-itch-free-yam-farming/articleshow/48244267.cms">http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/raipur/Bastar-farm<br />ers-learn-itch-free-yam-farming/articleshow/48244267.cms</a></em> <br /></div>

Bastar farmers learn itch-free yam farming -Cherrupreet Kaur

Published on Jul 29, 2015   Modified on Jul 29, 2015

-The Times of India RAIPUR: Farmers in Kanker region in tribal Bastar are being trained by the government to cultivate itch-free varieties of yam which could be grown on barren portions on land providing them a source income. State agriculture department has tested soil in the area and found it suitable for cultivating yam. Local farmers are provided itch-free variety and being sent groups of 10 to Bilaspur to learn method of its cultivation. "In its first phase, cultivation of yam would be taken as pilot project. For this, 50 groups of farmers have been formed and each group would cultivate in half acre of land on trial basis," said agriculture department deputy director Chiranjeev Sarkar. The itch-free variety seed called 'Gajendra' is being procured from Andhra Pradesh and this variety could be eaten raw. "Further, on reaping harvest, the produce would be sold in vegetable markets of Kanker, Raipur and Dhamtari. In future, if the harvest flourishes abundantly, new markets could be explored," he added. Farmers are also being provided with turmeric seeds for sowing on outskirts of fields. Sarkar said local farmers already acknowledge the ayurvedic properties and health benefits of this vegetable, hence they are ready to grow it in their fields.   The Times of India, 28 July, 2015, http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/raipur/Bastar-farm ers-learn-itch-free-yam-farming/articleshow/48244267.cms
