A SEED TELLS A FARMER’S STORY - ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES CBSE-VBIOLOGY TEACHER
I am a small seed!
I am a small bajra seed. I have stayed in this beautiful wooden box since 1940. I want to tell you my story. This is a long story but not mine alone. It is also the story of my farmer Damjibhai and his family. If I do not tell my story now, it might be too late!
I was born in Vangaam in Gujarat. That year there was a good bajra (millet) crop. There was a festive mood in the village. Our area was famous for its grain and vegetables. Each year Damjibhai kept aside some seeds from a good crop. This way our bajra family went on from one generation to another. Good seeds were stored in dried gourd (lauki ) which was coated with mud.

5. The most expensive silk saree
The most expensive silk saree was sold
for Rs. 3,931,627 ($100,021; £50,679) on
5 January 2008. It was made by Chennai
Silks, India and features reproductions of
11 paintings by the celebrated Indian
artist Raja Ravi Varma.
In a ploy that screams excess is best, The
Chennai Silks has created the world’s most expensive sari- costing a whopping
$100,00! The traditional silk frock is decked with gold, diamonds, rubies and
other precious gem stones, which are woven intricately throughout the
garment. Rather than the traditional fabric pattern, the sari depicts of India’s
master paintings by Raja Ravi Varma, called “Galaxy of Musicians.”
The over the top sari is studded with gold, diamonds, emeralds, rubies,
platinum, silver, yellow sapphire, blue sapphire, cat’s eye, topaz, pearl and
coral. Thirty Chennai weavers took over seven months to create this one
piece. Aside from its astronomical cost, the sari is also the world’s first to
require 7,440 jacquard hooks to complete.
The intricate design shows a group of female musicians, with real precious
stones on each figure as in the original painting. Ten more of Varma’s
paintings are portrayed in the border around the sari as well. It took a total of
4760 man-hours to produce.
List of ingredients:
1. Gold 59 gms 700 milli grams
2. Diamond 3 carats 913 cents
3. Platinum 120 milli grams
4. Silver – 5grams
5. Ruby 2 carat 985 cent
6. Emerald 55 cent
7. Yellow sapphire – 3 cent
8. Sapphire – 5 carat
9. Cat eye-14 cent
10. Topaz -10 cent
11. Pearl-2 gms
12. Coral-400 milligrams
Aside from draining the wearer’s bank account, the jewel encrusted garment
takes a toll on the body- weighing in at almost 18 pounds! Each of the baubles
were hand woven into the sari, adding even more layers and weight to remain
sturdy.
6. DETAILED PLAN TO ASSURE WATER SUPPLY FOR CULTIVATING THE
LANDS IN ZINKAPALEM
1. BACKGROUND
Zinkapalem, located in Nagayalanka mandal of Krishna District, is dependent
on Edurumandi Reservoir Water for the cultivation of their 250 acres of land.
Edurumandi Island consists of 9 villages surrounded three sides by Krishna
River and one side by Bay of Bengal. Since the ground water is saline, the
entire Island depends on the water pumped from the main land. In order to
provide water both for drinking and irrigation purposes, the huge Reservoir is
established in Edurumondi village, where the water is lifted from the Irrigation
Canal in Guntur District and stored. Water thus stored is supplied to all the
villages on the island through the open channels for irrigation purposes. But
there is no sufficient water in that reservoir so the villages at the edge always
used to depend only on monsoon rains. But with the failure of monsoon rains
in the past one decade, they are stopping the agricultural works and as a
result the lands are kept idle.
Having brought the vacant lands of 250
acres under cultivation in Zinkapalem
with the support of Rotary Districts of
Australia, ASSIST field staff consulted the
community holders and enquired the
possible solution to conquer from this
drastic situation.
2. PROPOSED PLAN
Initial idea was to dig a tank of around 25 to 30 acres, which could store the
water in the monsoon season and the stored water could be used for
cultivating 250 acres of land belonging to the people of Zinkapalem to
enhance their economic status. But, since the cost of land has gone up
everywhere, the villagers expressed their difficulty to purchase the land of
about 25 acres at the cost of 2,500,000- INR at the market rate of 100,000
per acre.
Hence, the alternative solution derived by the villagers is to establish smaller
farm ponds at the rate of 10 cents per one acre (10% of their land) to store
the water released from the Reservoir in the monsoon season. In addition to
the water released from the Reservoir, the water can also be pumped from the
adjacent Krishna River in the monsoon season as the River will have sweet
water during this season. Though the River water becomes saline in the rest
of the days due to the back water coming from the Sea, the water will be
7. sweet in the Rainy season for a period of 3 to 5 months. Hence, the proposed
plan is as follows:
Small water collection and storage tanks can be arranged in the total
extent of 250 acres. In order to cover all the 250 acres, 90 small tanks
of different sizes are proposed by the villagers, which could be
developed in their respective fields. In this case, no additional land is
required or to be purchased.
90 small tanks will be of different sizes: 75 of 20 cents extent (800 sq.
mts.), 10 of 50 cents extent (2,000 sq. mts.) and 5 of 1 acre extent
(4,000 sq. mts.).
All the tanks will be developed to a depth of 1 metre. If we go more
deep, there is a danger of getting the salt water. Hence, 1 metre is an
ideal.
All these tanks could be filled with the help of motors and pump sets
from the canal during the rainy season. In addition, rain water could
also be collected in these tanks, too.
Water thus stored in these tanks is sufficient to cultivate the total lands of 250
acres belonging to the villagers of Zinkapalem. Taking into account the
quantum of water gets evaporated, these ponds can withheld the water 9
months in the year except the peak summer months of March, April and May.
This is one of the ancient traditions followed by the farming community earlier
and also being experimented now successfully in the neighbouring villages as
well as can be seen in the following photos:
Diesel Motors and Pump sets
The second requirement for the villagers is diesel engines to pump the water
from the Krishna River and from the field channels. In the failure of monsoon
rains, they can easily pump the water
from the field channels through this
motor to fill the farm ponds in order to
have sufficient water.
The following are the existing field
channels from Edurumondi Reservoir
to Zinkapalem Village to provide the
water for irrigating the fields. When
the flow of water is insufficient for
cultivation, the water is pumped from
these channels to the proposed farm ponds.
8. It seems that the better solution is digging up of ponds in Zinkapalem for
sustainable farming. With these ponds there will be no loss from the floods
also because the water goes into the nearby Sea and there is no scope of
pond water becoming saline. Similar process is being followed by one of the
neighbouring village - Gollamandand they are doing farming comfortably as
can be seen from the lands under cultivation:
The Children of Zinkapalem will not
know any one of us, but our presence
here today will make a real change to
their lives for many more years to
come.
