&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;A bank-supported NGO initiative has transformed agriculture in the Hubli-Dharwad area&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Can a small investment of, say, ₹97,000, for digging farm ponds make for increase in farm incomes and improvement in farmers&amp;rsquo; livelihoods? Can such farm ponds lead to an increase in cropping intensity and higher productivity? Can these minor investments then be replicated across the country as only 50 per cent of India&amp;rsquo;s net sown area of 140 million hectares is currently irrigated?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Evidence from the ground in North Karnataka and Telangana under the initiative of an NGO, the Deshpande Foundation, indicates that with awareness creation among farmers, CSR spends by corporates, focused lending by banks like SBI and support of institutions like NABARD, big changes at the grassroots level are possible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In districts like Dharwad, Bellary, Kalaburagi and Karim Nagar, farm ponds of the size of 100 feet by 100 feet with a depth of 12 feet, constructed under the aegis of the Foundation are now helping farmers draw water for their crops without even the availability of large irrigation systems. Instead of single cropping, the beneficiaries now do multiple cropping and naturally, output has increased.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Thus, even as the sector is roiled by controversy at the national level over the three farm laws and their proposed repeal, there are low-key transformational activities in various States which is perhaps why agriculture turned out to be the only positive contributor to our GDP last year, despite Covid. The trend continues this year too.&lt;/p&gt;

Farm ponds as an agent of rural transformation -S Adikesavan

-The Hindu Business Line A bank-supported NGO initiative has transformed agriculture in the Hubli-Dharwad area Can a small investment of, say, 97,000, for digging farm ponds make for increase in farm incomes and improvement in farmers’ livelihoods? Can such farm ponds lead to an increase in cropping intensity and higher productivity? Can these minor investments then be replicated across the country as only 50 per cent of India’s net sown area of 140 million hectares is currently irrigated? Evidence from the ground in North Karnataka and Telangana under the initiative of an NGO, the Deshpande Foundation, indicates that with awareness creation among farmers, CSR spends by corporates, focused lending by banks like SBI and support of institutions like NABARD, big changes at the grassroots level are possible. In districts like Dharwad, Bellary, Kalaburagi and Karim Nagar, farm ponds of the size of 100 feet by 100 feet with a depth of 12 feet, constructed under the aegis of the Foundation are now helping farmers draw water for their crops without even the availability of large irrigation systems. Instead of single cropping, the beneficiaries now do multiple cropping and naturally, output has increased. Thus, even as the sector is roiled by controversy at the national level over the three farm laws and their proposed repeal, there are low-key transformational activities in various States which is perhaps why agriculture turned out to be the only positive contributor to our GDP last year, despite Covid. The trend continues this year too. Please click here to read more.
