with suitable action photographs. The Success Stories / Case Studies need not be

restricted to the reporting period).

success story 1 : Cluster approach through secondary agriculture Name of the farmer: Mrs.Lalitha ( Amma pannimahalir group) Background: ICAR KVK Coimbatore is concentrating the primary,

secondary/ specialist agriculture to double the yield level in

primary agriculture and triple the income by the way of

processing the primary agriculture produces. The Kendra is

working through self help groups and similar working groups in

our different operational areas. Which includes supporting the

group formed by the other line departments also besides our

own groups.Mrs.Lalitha a women entrepreneur from Amma

pannai mahalir group from Iddikarai is one among who have been developed to lead farm women. She

along with her group member were tried among processing of agri commodities.Farmer of Iddikarai area

were motivated to under ecofriendly agriculture to have quality, primary agriculture produces like Bengal

gram, other pulses and spices.

Intervention process:

Mrs.Lalitha and her group members where identified by our KVK to be a model group for various far

women. Skill development programme were implemented to upgrade their knowledge and skill which has

made them to get involved in income generation like processing and value addition. Through our EDP

programme they would reach the consumers and understand the consumer expectation

Intervention technology:

The farm women group lead by the lalitha has been close association with our partner farmer who were

undertaking cluster frontline demonstration on Bengal gram.In the same village belongs to S.S.Kulam

block.ICAR KVK Coimbatore has not only ensure the quality production of pulses but also intervened on

the processing/ value addition, packing and marketing process.Mrs.Lalitha was involved along with the

Kendra for our special programme on producer consumer linkages which is aimed at familiarizing farmers,

produces among the consumer while insisting/ motivating farmers to be sure of the quality production. In

addition our Kendra guided and supported to obtaining bank loan also.

Impact Horizontal spread:

With the guidance and support of the Kendra she is started small food processing unit at her village. With

the help of her members she is selling products among the friends and localities. Due to the increased

response of the products she is decided to upscale to a cottage industry level and once again sought the

guidance of the Kendra, where she is obtained help in acquiring food safety licence, branding and labeling

and marketing technique. She is sold her product through apartment’s, KVK exhibitions, Departmental

stores and towns of the district.


Based on the consumer preference the Pannimahalir are introduced millet and Bengal gram based snacks

items such as murukku,Laddu, Thattuvadai etc .In addition masala based products like Iddli podi,sambar

podi ,rasapodi,Corriander podi,chillie podi are produced.

Impact Economic gains:

Every month the she is produce 90 kgs of masala powder, 25 kgs of millet products, 100 kgs of Bengal

gram flour, 25 kg murrku .The selling cost is @ Rs.35/170 gms biscuits, Rs.50/200 gms of murrkku, Rs.

30/200 gms of masala items. Every month mrs.Lalitha earned Rs. 15000 and selling her products in the

brand name of Annai foods.

Impact of employment generation:

In addition 5 to 8 women are get regular employment.

Success story 2 : ICM in chillies and Value addition

Name of the farmer: Mr.R.Kandasamy

Background:

Chilly is the most important spice crop of India. It occupies an important place among the

spice crops in Coimbatore district. Aadhimadayanur is an old village is very famous for growing

chillies traditionally by using their traditional seeds. During our field visits and training

programmes we came to know the following problems like Improper nutrient management,

micronutrient deficiency, pest and disease incidences and poor market price which has caused

more economic loss to the farmers. Hence the Kendra has decided to implement the

demonstration on ICM in chillies and value addition in that particular cluster village.

Intervention process:

Mr. Kandasamy Aged 60 is a progressive farmer, used to grow chillies every year, is

selected as a lead farmer to act as a role model to other farmers. The yield of chillies (dry) which

is realized by him has ranged from 23.5 – 25.4 q/ha is the highest record among the farms

nearby. But the potential yield of the particular variety is 27q/ha during his father’s cultivation

period. He approached the Kendra for the problems faced by the cultivation of chillies. After

meeting and interacted with KVK Scientists, he came forward to accept and adopt the practice of

integrated crop management technologies in his farm through demonstration.

Intervention technology:

In his village 10 farmers including him were selected for KVK intervention on ICM in

chillies and value addition. The following technologies like Soil test based fertilizer

recommendation, Micronutrients application, Integrated pest management practices, value

addition were taught to farmers.

Then he started practicing these technologies and he was constantly educated by KVK

scientists, during follow up visit. He has been provided with all the need based knowledge & skill,

which included soil test based fertilizer recommendation, Foliar application of micronutrients,

Integrated pest management practices etc.,.


Impact Horizontal spread:

After seeing the result of the ICM technologies he has taken up production technologies in

the current year and popularized to neighboring farmers also. He is now using vegetable special

regularly as he has noticed that the fruit quality, diseases resistance of the plant is improved. It

also helps in retaining more number of flowers, thus increase in the fruit set leading to higher

yield.

He was also found to actively guide other farmers in adoption of new technologies. With

his intervention other farmers have started practicing ICM practices in the village and as a result

they are realizing better yield and price in the market.

Impact Economic gains:

Among these technologies, soil test based fertilizer recommendation along with integrated

nutrient management increased production and profitability of the produce. Foliar application of

micronutrients showed significant influence on the quality of the produce. The average yield

recorded in plots is 25.1 q /Ha which is 15.8% higher than the conventional practices. The total

cost of cultivation Rs.171403/- and gross and net returns are Rs. 451980/- and Rs. 280576/-

respectively. The BC ratio recorded was 2.6.

After the demonstration nearly 62 % of the farmers adopted micronutrient application, 48

% of the farmers adopted biological pest and disease management practices, and 36% of the

farmers adopted soil test based fertilizer recommendation.

Impact of employment generation:

Farmers are become confident among the technologies they are able to disseminate the

technologies to other farmers also. The produce produced by the farmers is confidently

purchased by SHGs our Kendra and branding is carried out. The final produce is being sold to

consumers directly. The feedback of the consumers also is highly satisfied.

Case studies 1

Integrated Farming System: An approach to sustainable Agriculture and Profitable Agri business

Development in the District facilitated by ICAR – Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Coimbatore

Dr.P.Kumarvadivelu, Mrs.N.Suganthi, Mr.S.Sreshkumar

ICAR Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Coimbatore hosted by Sri Avinashilingam Education Trust Institutions has been

pioneer in training and development of rural partners undertaking an integrated and sustainable agriculture in their

operational areas. Having started in the year 1974, by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, the ICAR – KVK,

Coimbatore, has so far contributed greatly on the quality production of Agri commodities. Assessment of different

technological outcomes of research institutions, demonstration of location specific / appropriate technologies, skill

development programmes and activities in convergence with all line departments have greatly helped the agriculture

development more particularly on the milk productivity which has been enhanced from 8 to 10 litres per animal per

day during 2008 to 15 to 17 litres per animal in 2015; the reason could be attributed to the diversification of crops

from cereals to fodder crops. Mixed fodder bank promoted by the ICAR – KVK, Coimbatore, has been in supportive

to the Animal Husbandry development in almost all parts of the district. Enterprises like Sericulture and Secondary


Agriculture promotion involving rural women are also noteworthy and have helped improving the livelihood security

of farm families.

In recent past, the district has faced lot of constraints in the Agriculture Production System more particularly

the drought, due to climate change; decrease in water table is also noticed from 800 to 1100 ft which is about 100 –

300 ft down below the earlier table, about ten years ago. Issues related to production agriculture in the district can

be attributed first due to uncertainty of monsoon or low rainfall besides lowering of water table. Farmers use to loose

at times the whole crop due to failure in monsoon more particularly in crop like banana. Even coconuts, total area

has come down from 101541 ha to 97462 ha due to death of palms without withstanding the drought in Pollachi, a

traditional coconut belt. Technology related to conservation of moisture and also ensuring the plant capacity to

withstand drought has been the challenging task which is being addressed by the farmers, with the support given by

the Kendra by way of demonstration, which facilitates integrating technologies. Another major problem faced by the

framer is non-availability of labours particularly skilled work force. To overcome these problems the Kendra

identified the supporting and collaborating agency District Rural Development Agency (DRDA), Coimbatore to make

a sincere attempt to solve the Agricultural labour scarcity issues in the district. Integration of Agriculture and allied

enterprises and vertical growth in the productivity per unit area has thus been achieved due to the intervention of the

Kendra (ICAR – KVK, Coimbatore). The Kendra’s innovative approach has helped overcoming the problems such

as water scarcity, labour shortage and resource wastage. A promising reason for the success could be attributed to

the convergence of the Kendra with all other State and line departments to integrate technologies, enterprises and

resources.

District Rural Development Agency (DRDA) is operating the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment

Guarantee Assurance Scheme (MGNREGAS) with the support of Ministry of Rural Development which supports

livelihood security of households in rural area by providing 100 day guaranteed employment opportunity every year

(preferably the number of days have been increased to 150 days). The ICAR - KVK, Coimbatore, has taken initiative

to associate with DRDA, Coimbatore, during the year 2013-14 for sensitizing, monitoring and involving them in

agricultural development works. While the district was facing issues related to non-availability of farm workers, the

initiative has given a definite model which is expected to support the small farmers development in a promising way,

wherein the laborers (MGNREGAS partners) were trained as skilled laborers to execute farm works with required

scientific skills.

The scheme has thus ensured employment opportunity for the rural poor / landless labourers besides

making them to learn the skillful agricultural assignments. The KVK has thus been in close association with District

Rural Development Agency (DRDA), Coimbatore, was concentrating on these labourers handling farm infrastructure

development and agricultural production activities. Rural poor were trained with the concept of “learning by doing”;

they were under a definite skill development programme with close monitoring

and supervision which has lead them to undertake specific activities in groups,

like. Establishment and maintenance of Integrated Farming System which

includes, Desilting and reconstruction of supply channel, Planting of Agro

forestry trees, Formation of earthen roads etc.,

Model Integrated Farming System units were established using

MNREGS partners in which agriculture crop, horticulture crop, agro-forestry, poultry, dairy unit, vermicompost and

farm pond are components. The programme was carried out by the Kendra in different parts of the district, acted as

model to establish similar structures in other parts by training and involving MGNREGAS partners. Various farmers


from different panchayats have visited the established farms to learn and obtain first-hand information on how to

utilize these partners effectively for farming system management.

Integrated Farming System development through MGNREGS

Integrated farming system is an important area of specialty agriculture

done by integrating various agricultural enterprises, viz., cropping, animal

husbandry, fishery, forestry etc., will help sustainable farm development and has a

great potential role in the agricultural economy. These enterprises not only

supplement the income of the farmers but also to help increasing the family labour

employment. The model unit Established during the year 2013, in different farmers

fields. It consists of calf rearing unit, goat rearing unit, farm pond, grazing

and cropping areas. It is a live model for small and marginal farmers. The

KVK in association with the support of DRDA has selected small and

marginal farmers to establishing similar models in the district, Coimbatore

in nine blocks. 9 farmers were short listed with a land holding of 1.85 to

5.0 acres and executed the project Integrated Farming System with all

possible agriculture and allied components including Poultry, Fisheries and

Sericulture to ensure sustainability in farming.

A technical and management training was given to all above farmers and technical staffs of all blocks in

DRDA regarding establishment and management of IFS using NREGS. Farmers were educated to improve their

farming pattern by integrating above viable enterprises.

Five farmers such as Mr. M. Krishnamurthy, Pannimadai, Mr.A.R.Kaliappan, Allapalayam, Mr. T.

Thiruvengadam, Perumpathy, Mr. Sadasivam, Ponnavaram, Mr. Dhandapani, Varapathy are presently designated

as farmer trainers who can further trained other farmers of the district on handling Integrated Farming System.

Mr. M. Krishnamurthy aged 60 belongs to Pannimadai village of

Perianaickenpalaym block was cultivating only banana and arecanut. After the

intervention, he has changed the cropping

pattern and increased the cropping intensity by

cultivating coconut, bhendi and mixed fodder

bank besides introduction of goatery, dairy,

rabbitary, poultry and fisheries. Establishment of mini farm pond in his farm has

helped supporting growing of fishes in the water medium which is adequately

nourished with dropping of poultry bird. The enriched water has thus been a good

fertigation source for his crops. Soil and water conservation activities undertaken in his farm has really helped

utilization of all water resources including the rain water and the soil fertility management. The benefit cost ratio

HAS thus become 6.2 as against 1.9 which was earlier to the introduction of this model. He could achieve this

benefit cost ratio in about four years of period after initiation.

Mr.A.R. Kaliappan aged 45 belongs to Allapalayam village

of Annur block has been participating in all our training and development

programmes and as a member of our Vidial

Farmers Club has also established successful

model in his farm. Since 2009 he was adding

up enterprises such as backyard poultry and

turkey rearing, stall fed goatery and

vermicompost unit. His IFS unit is now with more than ten enterprises such as

banana, bhendi, vegetable cow-pea, mulberry, bio-gas, goatery, poultry, rabbitary, fisheries and vermicompost etc.,

The benefit cost ratio achieved by Mr.A.R.Kaliappan is worked out to be to 4.01 as against his benefit cost ratio of

1.0 over a period of three years.

Integrated farming system (IFS) is a promising enterprise for the marginal and small farmers particularly who

has less farm holdings. From this intervention, the IFS provide progressive economic growth, employment

opportunities, family nutritional requirements, effective utilization of resources of the farming enterprises Conserving

the soil and water resources, etc. And also the successfully established integrated farming system models are

acting as model farms for other farmers to improve their standard of living and income. The success of this project

has been thus attributed to the convergence main departments such as DRDA and State Department of Agriculture

with ICAR – Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Coimbatore. All other line departments including horticulture, agricultural

engineering, animal husbandry, sericulture etc., has also been linked with this Krishi Vigyan Kendra to ensure

positive impact in these areas.

By introducing Co FS-29 , Desmanthus and Co-4 effectively increased green fodder and simultaneously increased the milk yield

5 Value addition in fruits and vegetables.

47 76 -During season time production is high. But market value is very low

-Lack of knowledge about preservation

- Post harvest loss

- Due to preservation techniques spoilage could be effectively controlled

- It can be used for off season

6 Mechanized swoing 121 64 Non availability of human resource results in

-Late sowing

- Inefficient utilization of natural resources (soil / water)

- Poor germination

-More labour cost.

- High performance @ 40 kg/hour/unit and ensures the timely sowing

- Effective utilization of soil water resources

-Ensures better germination


11. B. Cases of large scale adoption

IIHR special – A real booster for small growers

In Coimbatore district banana and vegetables are major income generating crops for small

growers. Banana and vegetables cover an area of 25678

Ha and 6091 Ha respectively. The average production

and productivity of banana and vegetables are 6008652q,

and 642950 q, respectively and are 234q and 31642 q

respectively.

During PRA survey the Kendra noticed that micro

nutrient deficiency is one of the major limiting factors

causing yield reduction in banana and vegetables.

Keeping this in mind the Kendra came forward to be

associated with IIHR for banana and vegetables micronutrient mixture production. A production unit was

established in the Kendra.

Initially the Kendra did method demonstration in banana and vegetables through FLD and training

programmes. The yield increase in banana and vegetables are 21% and 18% respectively when

compared to other existing practices. Farmers were really satisfied with the yield increase, the fruit

quality and appearance. By seeing the result many farmers slowly adopted these technologies.

Now the foliar application of micro nutrients in

banana and vegetables has become a regular

practice in Coimbatore district’s cultivation. The

farmer’s feedback about the technology is :

Very easy to prepare and apply

Reduces the deficiency symptom very quickly

Very cost effective

Yield increase is noticed by upto 22% in banana

and 18% in vegetables

Shiny and good quality fruits fetch more price

The spread of these technologies is given below:

The 4321 kgs of banana mixture produced in the Kendra was supplied to 1976 farmers covering

1238 acres. The district production has thus increased to 1238 tonnes and farmers realized additional

income of Rs. 87.8 lakhs and 3134 kgs of vegetable mixture was produced and supplied to 1099 farmers

covering 1216 acres. The district production has thus increased to 1216 tonnes and farmers realized an

additional income of Rs. 49.43 lakhs.
