&lt;em&gt;Khammam district in Telangana has taken the initiative to set up temporary decentralised village level camps called &amp;ldquo;Rythu Mitra Kendras&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The administration of Khammam district in Telangana has taken the innovative initiative of setting up temporary decentralised village level camps called &amp;ldquo;Rythu Mitra Kendras&amp;rdquo; during the current agricultural marketing season. These camps are equipped with cotton moisture measurement machines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Through an aggressive communication campaign, small and marginal farmers have been encouraged to attend these camps. In an article in the Indian Express, Parthasarathi Biswas writes the benefit achieved through this campaign include heightened awareness about the moisture level well before the cotton crop is brought by them to the purchase center or the adjoining wholesale market.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Consequently, he adds, with decrease in the rejection rate (moisture levels have prescribed limits), a large number of farmers have fetched a higher remunerative price, adding substantially to their farm income.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The above initiative clearly highlights the dire need to empower small and marginal farmers through innovatively conceived access to new low-cost agricultural technologies. This is more so, in context of the reduced land and water availability, soil nutrient deficiencies and the challenges of climate change, especially, in rain-fed areas of the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here, over eighty per cent of small and marginal farmers cultivate fifty per cent of the land and produce more than eighty per cent of the nutri-cereals, pulses, oilseeds, fruits and vegetables. Besides, dairying, livestock and fisheries are also increasingly becoming critical to sustain the resilience of agriculture.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Khammam district in Telangana has taken the initiative to set up temporary decentralised village level camps called &amp;ldquo;Rythu Mitra Kendras&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The administration of Khammam district in Telangana has taken the innovative initiative of setting up temporary decentralised village level camps called &amp;ldquo;Rythu Mitra Kendras&amp;rdquo; during the current agricultural marketing season. These camps are equipped with cotton moisture measurement machines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Through an aggressive communication campaign, small and marginal farmers have been encouraged to attend these camps. In an article in the Indian Express, Parthasarathi Biswas writes the benefit achieved through this campaign include heightened awareness about the moisture level well before the cotton crop is brought by them to the purchase center or the adjoining wholesale market.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Consequently, he adds, with decrease in the rejection rate (moisture levels have prescribed limits), a large number of farmers have fetched a higher remunerative price, adding substantially to their farm income.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The above initiative clearly highlights the dire need to empower small and marginal farmers through innovatively conceived access to new low-cost agricultural technologies. This is more so, in context of the reduced land and water availability, soil nutrient deficiencies and the challenges of climate change, especially, in rain-fed areas of the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here, over eighty per cent of small and marginal farmers cultivate fifty per cent of the land and produce more than eighty per cent of the nutri-cereals, pulses, oilseeds, fruits and vegetables. Besides, dairying, livestock and fisheries are also increasingly becoming critical to sustain the resilience of agriculture.&lt;br /&gt;

How a district in Telangana is empowering small and marginal farmers -Dr. Abhilaksh Likhi

-Outlook India Khammam district in Telangana has taken the initiative to set up temporary decentralised village level camps called “Rythu Mitra Kendras”. The administration of Khammam district in Telangana has taken the innovative initiative of setting up temporary decentralised village level camps called “Rythu Mitra Kendras” during the current agricultural marketing season. These camps are equipped with cotton moisture measurement machines. Through an aggressive communication campaign, small and marginal farmers have been encouraged to attend these camps. In an article in the Indian Express, Parthasarathi Biswas writes the benefit achieved through this campaign include heightened awareness about the moisture level well before the cotton crop is brought by them to the purchase center or the adjoining wholesale market. Consequently, he adds, with decrease in the rejection rate (moisture levels have prescribed limits), a large number of farmers have fetched a higher remunerative price, adding substantially to their farm income. The above initiative clearly highlights the dire need to empower small and marginal farmers through innovatively conceived access to new low-cost agricultural technologies. This is more so, in context of the reduced land and water availability, soil nutrient deficiencies and the challenges of climate change, especially, in rain-fed areas of the country. Here, over eighty per cent of small and marginal farmers cultivate fifty per cent of the land and produce more than eighty per cent of the nutri-cereals, pulses, oilseeds, fruits and vegetables. Besides, dairying, livestock and fisheries are also increasingly becoming critical to sustain the resilience of agriculture. Outlook India, 4 February, 2020, please click here to read more.
