6
The Chairman emphasized to take some specialized activity on cluster mode particularly banana and
ginger crop.
Possibilities of introduction of new crops viz. Makhana, in low lying water bodies, buckwheat in upland
after Sali rice should be explored.
Marketing interventions for the entrepreneurs like advertising, packaging and labeling of products
should be developed to promote entrepreneurship.
The house suggested organizing training on local fish culture.
Popularization of poultry farming with Vanaraja should be continued through training and
demonstration.
Water testing facilities in the KVK, laboratory should be strengthened so that complete analysis of

3.7. Success stories/Case studies, if any (two or three pages write-up on each case
with suitable action photographs)
Success Story 1: Tissue culture banana cultivation at Koroini Bengali Village: A success story
KVK, Sonitpur conducted a FLD programme on tissue culture banana in 0.2 ha area at Koroioni
Bengali village in Sonitpur district in the farm of Md. Saidur Ahmed ( 36), a school dropout with deep
interest in farming . He possesses 3.33 ha Miyadi land and another 7.34 ha land has been leased in by
him. Improved farm machineries like tractor, disk harrow, nine tine, water pump and sprayers are
available with him. He had come in to contact with KVK, Sonitpur in a training programme organized at
his village.
57
KVK, Sonitpur selected Md. Saidur Ahmed for a FLD programme on tissue culture banana. He was
provided tissue culture banana suckers ( var G9) by KVK, Sonitpur from the Dept. of Agricultural
Biotechnology, AAU, Jorhat. Other critical inputs like fertilizers, plant protection chemicals were also
provided to him. Moreover, facilities of pitcher drip irrigation were provided under AICRP of Dryland
Agriculture in his banana orchard . A training programme on cultivation of tissue culture banana was
also organized involving RAWEP students under the KVK.
The result of the FLD programme has been an eye opener for Md. Saidur Ahmed and his fellow
farmers. He earned net profit of Rs. 5.0 lakh (approx) from 600 tissue cultured banana plants grown in
an area of 0.2 ha. He obtained gross income of Rs. 5.95 lakh by selling of banana fruits and suckers
with an average productivity of 50 kg/bunch.
The profitability of tissue cultured banana attracted Md. Saidur and his fellow farmers of Korioni
village mostly because higher yield, profitability (B:C 6.2) and synchronize fruiting behavior. As a result
of of the KVK, intervention, the farmers of the village have come forward for commercial cultivation of
tissue culture banana.
Success Story 2: Mushroom Cultivation Provides Gainful Employment to Rural Youth
Mr. Munidra Deka, a 22 years old youth from Panbari village of Dhekiajuli, Sonitpur had
decided to earn while he was a student of H.S level to assist his lower middle class family. He had
undergone a vocational training on scientific mushroom cultivation in 2011. After that he started a
small unit under technical guidance of KVK and gradually increased the size of unit which is now of
100 bags capacity. He has been supplying dry as well fresh mushroom to several restaurants and
food processing units including the KF, Delight Bakery, Madhur Food Products in Sonitpur and few
pickle making industries of Arunachal and Guwahati. Mr. Deka who is now a B.A 3rd
year student is
presently earning Rs. 47000.00 per year has successfully supported his parents while pursuing his
education.
Success story of Mr. Munindra Deka was published in Assamese daily Amar Asom in 2013.

8.1 Constraints
(a) Administrative (1) More staff is required to perform the ever increasing work load of the KVK efficiently.
(b) Financial
(1) The fund released for conducting various activities of KVK Sonitpur is sub-optimal under the present circumstances and hence need to be reconsidered for the greater good of the farming community.
(c) Technical (1) Shortage of attendants under the disciplines of Animal Science and Soil Science which is an essential prerequisite for conducting the routine activities associated with these discliplines.
(2) The current frequency of the volumuminous reporting procedures greatly hampers the field activities of the KVK Scientists which is an undeniable essentiality for the local farming communities.
