PUPA organized a field visit to the village of Durbachati to promote sustainable farming practices. At a farmer's club meeting, PUPA discussed techniques like using the right amount of urea fertilizer and experimenting with crops inside mosquito nets without pesticides. They also visited an agricultural fair with exhibits on biodiversity, integrated farming, and gave chicks to a local women's self-help group. The author found the tour to be a refreshing break from city life that showed the villagers' hospitality and willingness to improve their livelihoods through PUPA's guidance.

Dear Friends,
Finally, we have come out with an Annual Report of activities carried out by NEEV in 2010-11. All of you have been receiving regular updates by NEEV, nonetheless, we think, it is a delightful experience to see the entire mosaic pieced together.
As we affirm in every message to all of you, the journey of NEEV which is going to complete 5 years this 31st October, could never, ever, have been possible without the unstinted support of so many of you. NEEV has almost become a behemoth for us to handle with our seemingly puny wills and efforts. For us it is a divine spectacle unfolding, a quilt of unimaginable complexity being stitched together by aspirations, efforts and goodwill of disparate actors spread across time and space.
Each year, as I contemplate the journey we have undertaken and the journey we are dreaming to undertake, I include dollops of “miracles”, “prayers” and “goodwill” of people in my “strategic planning”; it is only through a measure of faith that we can think of even surviving what we are thinking of doing.
Having said that, I would definitely like to steal credit for our NEEV team that works like ants, day in and day out. Our reports don’t contain the accidents and skids our members have negotiated to reach remote village interiors on rainy days, nor do they contain the sleepless nights I have spent worrying about where our finances will come from, nor do they contain the tears that have flown and the tears that have been wiped........the hurts, the angst and the “jidd”
Yes, humare pass shaayad ek hi hatyaar hai.................woh hai, “ek jabardast jidd”, NEEV ki NEEV mitne nahi denge !!
Our sincere thanks to Mr. Salil Roy (Director, Systems – NEEV) for making an attractive Annual Report.

Landscapes for Agrobiodiversity - Agrobiodiversity perspectives in land-use d...Helga Gruberg Cazon
Changing land-use practices can result in a reduction of agrobiodiversity—the crop, livestock and aquatic diversity and the biodiversity associated with ecosystem functions, such as pollination and soil productivity, that are essential to agricultural production. Landscapes around the world are undergoing simplification due to
changing patterns of land use, often driven by modern intensive farming. The consequences of land-use changes for agrobiodiversity are not adequately recognized, with negative consequences for its capacity to support sustainability, resilience and rural livelihoods.

A GREEN RESPITE
1. A Green Respite
Sunita Das,
Women’s Polytechnic, Kolkata
We all know that a chance is an opportunity and for most, opportunities do not come everyday in
our life. But on 22nd
March, 2014 one of those rare opportunities came my way and I am happy that
I did not decline it. It was an invitation from PUPA to visit Durbachati, a village in Patharpratima in
South 24 Parganas, on one of their field visits. My lazy Sunday suddenly turned into a joyful and
heart touching experience.
PARIBESH UNNAYAN PARISHAD (PUPA) is working on a two years project on Conservation &
Enhancement of Agro Biodiversity in Sundarban areas of West Bengal (under the GEF/UNDP/SGP).
Besides, it is also engaged in two other livelihood improvement projects in Sagar Island. The first is
livelihood improvement of Schedule Castes (supported by Dept. of Science & Technology, Govt. of
India) and the other is supported by Integrated Coastal Zone Management, West Bengal.
It was a Sunday. We started in the morning at 7 am for Digeswar. Digeswar is a village in Diamond
Harbour Block II of district South 24 Parganas. PUPA had a formal meeting there with the members
of Digeswar Farmer’s Club. Dr. Amalesh Mishra, the Secretary, and Dr. Santanu Mitra, the President
of PUPA exchanged ideas with the farmers regarding farming techniques and planning for agro-
biodiversity. Sri Soumen Mondal, an experienced farmer, who is recently focused on breeding of a
high yielding variety of Egg Plant, said that he practically discovered this plant in his farm house and
is trying to cultivate it on a large scale. Though the Brinjal looks like Lurki or Kuli Brinjal, he named it
as “Mili jhuri” after his daughter, Milli. Seeds of this variety of brinjal and some seeds of traditional
paddies of different varieties were collected from the farmers for experimentation. As the most pest
affected plants are Egg Plant, and Ladies finger, Dr. Mishra suggested to the farmers to cultivate 3 or
4 plants of each variety inside mosquito nets on an experimental basis, without using pesticides.
During their discussions it came out that the farmers use over 20 kgs Urea per Bigha of land while
the Government records show that it should be around 5 kgs per Bigha of land. The excessive use of
Urea makes the land infertile with time. So PUPA took the responsibility of letting them know the
actual requirement of Urea for their land and collected soil samples from their lands for testing in
the laboratory.
2. The main objective of PUPA is to provide support to poor farmers of Sundarban areas and also to
provide salt tolerant paddy seeds and organic fertilizer to the farmers whose lands have suffered
from saline water intrusion during AILA. Already work on experimental cultivation of salt tolerant
paddy seeds has been started by PUPA on a salty land of two bigha, leased out by Dhablahat
Lakhsman Parabesh High School of Sagar Island.
After this meeting the team of PUPA moved towards Kashi Nath Mondal’s house where the
members of “Provat Surjo” SHG were waiting eagerly. While talking to them, we came to know that
at present the group is inactive and they want to initiate new activities and renewed vigour.Dr.
Mishra advised them to start with kitchen garden & poultry farming. He assured them of seeds for
the plants and also chicks for poultry farming. Members of Provat Surjo group have shown
considerable interest in the proposals & suggestions given by Dr. Mishra .
On completion of meeting with the SHG, our car rushed towards Patharpratima to attend the Agro
Fair 2014. Dr. Mishra & Dr. Mitra purchased one day old chicks along with medicine and feeds from
Kakdeep Bazar for distribution among one SHG members of Durbachati .
Finally we reached to the fair at 3 pm. Experts on agriculture and poultry farming delivered lectures
on organic paddy cultivation and rearing of chicks . Sri Sudhangshu Sekhar Dey , the main organiser
of the Agro Fair was also present there.
Dr. Mishra & Dr. Mitro were invited by the organisers to grace the stage. They delivered their speech
on biodiversity programme, integrated farming and micro financing. I was also requested to take the
stage to hand over chicks to the members of a self help group of Patharpratima.
There were about eight stalls in the fair, specially designed to make the community members aware
about bio farming, conservation of water, energy conservation, vermin composting and rare paddy
seeds, some of which were salt tolerant in nature.
3. Beside the main entrance a photo of Rabindranath Tagore was placed on a chair as a token of
respect and beneath that a beautiful design was made on the ground with paddy seeds and colourful
flowers, which added a touch of local culture to the fair.
The fairground was surrounded by lush green paddy fields and breathtaking sunflower plantation
which was no less than paradise.
The tour to Patharpratima was like a tune, still humming in my mind. I saw the villagers through the
eyes of PUPA’s soul, their hospitality, their simplicity and the spark in their eyes to accept the new
venture for a better livelihood. I am sure, PUPA trough it’s sincerity and dedication will win the
hearts of the villagers. For me, it was a patch of green respite from the daily mundane of city life in
Kolkata.
