Scheduled Caste farmers of Hussainapuram in Orvakal mandal in the district cultivated lands assigned to them after 45 years, taking the support of MGNREGS. The first-time farmers were happy to see lush green castor and redgram crops. However, the drought slightly damaged the crops, which otherwise would have brought them good yields.

Around 31 SC families and others had been assigned 386 acres land nearly four decades ago under a government scheme . The lands remained uncultivated due to the heavy investment involved for its development.

The farmers got an opportunity for the first time under the NREGS to retrieve the lands. In all, 42 Shrama Sakti groups were formed with 300 members who worked relentlessly in their fields. Boulders were removed, bushes cleared and land was cultivated with the help of tractors.

Farmers invested nearly Rs. 6,000 an acre to sow redgram and castor crops. Under Indira Jalaprabha, borewells were also sanctioned for all 85 farmers.

Ch. Nagaraju, who cleared three acres of land, said that he had never dreamt of becoming a farmer in his own land. Another farmer S. Samannasaid the land would be a great asset for the family . The farmers said wonders could be witnessed only after borewells were dug and the entire land was irrigated.
