Group F is presenting their RAWE program report for the academic year 2018-19. They adopted the village of Ferozpora and conducted various surveys and activities there. They made maps of the village and collected demographic data which showed a population of 1765 people, most working in agriculture. They visited important facilities in the village and interviewed farmers. The group demonstrated soil sampling and distributed soil test reports. They analyzed the crop production and highlighted issues like lack of improved varieties and knowledge of nutrient management. The group's activities helped them gain understanding of rural life and the socio-economic status of the local community.

6. PROCEDURES OF THE RAWE PROGRAMME
BEGINNING WITH ITS CORE OBJECTIVES
To develop interaction with the rural life and its proper understanding.
To take into account the socio-economic status of the village considering the
crop production and the further activities of Agriculture.
To survey the various schemes involved in the upbringing of the rural
households.
To survey the rural participation viz women and men in the agriculture activities.
Analysis of the various problems and its proper diagnosis.
Development of proper communication with farmers and understanding their
view points.
10. Participatory rural appraisal (PRA)
Participatory rural appraisal (PRA) is an approach used by Non- Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and other
agencies involved in international development. The approach aims to incorporate the knowledge and opinions of
rural people in the planning and management of development projects and programmes. PRA can be described as a
family of approaches, methods and behaviors that enable people to express and analyse the realities of their lives
and conditions, to plan themselves what action to take, and to monitor and evaluate the results.
The basic techniques used include:
A. Understanding group dynamics e.g. through feedback sessions etc.
B. Surveying and sampling e.g. transect walks, wealth ranking, social mapping.
C. Interviewing e.g. focus group discussions, semi-structured interviews.
D. Community mapping e.g. Venn diagrams, resource maps etc.
PRA METHODS USED BY OUR GROUP :-
A. Diagram
B. Transact walk
C. Interaction with local people and with Officers involved in Social Works.

29. KISAN MELA IN WADOORA
INTRODUCTION
In an attempt to educate the farmers on the farm mechanization in the backdrop of steady rise in the demand
for high agriculture production and increasing labour costs
It was organized on 27 September 2018 in SKUAST-K Wadoora campus.
It was a farmers day out as there was impressive display of modern farming machinery at the stalls showcasing
varieties of seeds , fruit farm product and information on the latest farm practices .
35. LAND USE PATTERN
NET SOWN AREA = 74.4 Ha
FOR AGRICULTURAL CROPS
i. Irrigated = 16.4 Ha
ii. Unirrigated = 58 Ha
Area under HORTICULTURAL CROPS = 52.8 Ha
Area under vegetables = 1.6 Ha
Area under orchard = 51.2 Ha
36. AGRICULTURE SECTION
FIELD CROP:
In whole village rice –fallow cropping pattern is adopted .
Maize is also grown but in orchard between the apple trees.
As maize is an exhaustive crop ,there is a nutrient deficiency in apple trees.
REASON FOR ONE CROP PER YEAR:
Some area of valley remain in submerge condition ,so doesn't support for rabi crops.
Lack of knowledge of proper nutrient management.
Lack of proper interaction with the university scientists.
No commercial production and hence less stress on improving yield strategies

MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDED BY SKUAST-K
• Collect & destruct fallen infested fruits to prevent build up of
the pest.
• Spraying of Dimethoate 30 EC ( Rogor ) @ 0.03% just after the
initiation of fruit setting.
75. WHAT IS SOIL TESTING AND WHY DO WE PERFORM IT…..
Soil test is referred to one or more of the procedures of soil analysis to determine the nutrient
status of the soil for the fertilizer recommendation in agriculture.
Conducted to determine the other characteristics such as pH and nutrient status.
Defines the growth potential of the soil ,the toxic effect of the excess nutrient concentration
and the growth inhibition by the lack of the essential nutrients.
Why do we perform it….
Soil chemistry changes with time as the various biological and the chemical factors break and
combine the compounds over time and hence it is essential to determine the soil chemical
profile.
Farmer is benefited with the right nutrient dose.
Ecologist would perform soil test to control the deteriorating soil nutrients by the various
human factors..
76. STARTING WITH PROCEDURES……
PROCEDURE :-
1. Checking into the orchard ..
2. Selection of a site which lies almost at an equal distance from all the sides.
3. Location of the drip line.
4. Digging – up to 90cm.
5. Three layers of sample at 30cm
6. Samples in bags labeled ( collection date ,farmers name ,age of the tree ,variety

It is situated 6 km from our university with an area of 184 kanal land i.e 9 ha. Land.
This realm is mainly confined to horticulture development program me mainly by organic
basis.
There is apple , grapes, kiwi, hazelnut etc. trees and protected by organic basis.
There is menace of bear in this area and one should be very careful.
Different rootstock are use for grafting purpose in apple and on m-7 different grafting can be
done.
But the yield of fruit crop is reduce just because of lack of pollinizer.
A polyhouse is also established with the investment of 10lakh so as to grow fruits under
control conditions.
Pollinizers are maintained in polyhouse in a definite ratio so as to ensure proper pollination.
Our university has provided an apple verity Shalimar- 1 and Shalimar -2 which are resistance
to scab disease but Shalimar 1 was not proved as résistance to scab.

140. ESTIMATION OF INTERNAL RATE OF
RETURNS (Rs.) ( IRR ) :
IRR ( Internal Rate of Returns ) =
( Lower discount rate ) + ( Difference between the two discount rates ) × Present worth of the cash flow
at the lower discount rate
Absolute difference between the
present worths of the cash flow
at the two discount rates
= 12 + ( 54 -12 ) × 883173.8
883173.8 – ( - 1949.26 )
= 12 + 42 × ( 0.9978 )
= 12 + 41.91
= 53.907
= 53.907 %
The positive %age of 53.907 % shows this project is worthy.

capital
= 37718.6
Cost B = Cost A + Rental Value of Land + Interest on Fixed Capital = 50450.6
Cost C = Cost B + imputed value of family labour = 56050.6
1. FARM BUSINESS INCOME = Gross Return - Cost A = 125000 – 37718.6 = 87281.4
1. FAMILY LABOUR INCOME = Gross Return – Cost B = 125000 – 50450.6 = 74549.4
2. NET INCOME = Gross Return – Cost C = 125000 – 56050.6 = 68949.4
3. FARM INVESTMENT INCOME = Farm Business Income - Imputed Value of Family Labour
= 87281.4 – 5600 = 81681.4
