Mr. Dinkar Sakhare is a poor farmer from Ambegaon village in Parbhani district who was struggling due to drought and low agricultural production. Through the Holistic Rural Development Program implemented by Yuva Rural Association and supported by HDFC Bank, he learned about multilayer vegetable cultivation. He established a demonstration plot with three layers of short duration vegetables like turmeric, coriander, chilies, and cucumbers. This new technique enabled him to maximize production from his small 15 Gntha land area and increase his annual income by Rs. 25,000-30,000. Initially farmers were skeptical but demonstrations convinced them to adopt the new method which ensures water and nutrients through rotational irrigation
The new techniques which are being innovated by the scientists in the field of agriculture if used wisely can improve the otherwise poor economic status of farmers. The land for cultivation is slowly depleting as the land is being acquired by Government for infra-structure build up, or is being sold by the owners due to poor financial state. The area of land which is available for farming has to be used judiciously and recent tools and techniques needs to be employed, then only high yield could be obtained and the economic condition of agriculturists could improve. The polyhouse technology of crop cultivation is proving beneficial for the farmers. The success stories of polyhouse cultivation are many and still the number is counting.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Vision changed the livelihood - Yuva Rural Association
1. Holistic Rural Development Program- Parbhani
Implemented by- Yuva Rural Association
Supported by- HDFC Bank
Vision changed the livelihood
THE SITUATION
Ambegaon (Digar), Takula Selu, Dist- Parbhani a small village in the Marathwada region of
Maharashtra state, there are about 973 households dependent primarily upon agriculture
and its allied activities. Around 10% hectares of area in the village is under cultivation.
Around 90% of the land is rainfed, where crops like cotton, soybean, moong, bajra and
jowar are grown in single season and keep the land fallow rest of the year. The small
patches of irrigated area are under vegetable cultivation. The average size of land holding
in the village is 0.58 ha. The village is well connected with road networks, therefore, has
ease in market accessibility and transportation.
Utilization of land effectively by growing mixed vegetables all through the year will
increase the farm income and sustain the soil health. Unevenly distributed and erratic
rainfall in the region hindering the farmers to take sequential crops, also has posed a huge
limiting factor for farming households who depend on agriculture for food security and
their economic well-being.
THE INNOVATION: MULTILAYER VEGETABLE CULTIVATION
Multilayer Farming technology will increase the farm income by growing vegetables round
the year. By covering the multi-crops with different layer provides an opportunity to
schedule the production program as per grower need.
Yuva Rural Association, Nagpur, has been implemented a Holistic Rural Development
project with the funding support of HDFC Bank under its CSR program since 2016 for 3
years. The major focus of this project was agriculture based livelihoods, sustainable
agriculture, etc.
During the Project interventions, series of exposure visits, trainings were conducted to
interested farmers to sensitize them about the Multi-layer farming technology and created
awareness about the easy avenue of income generation. One to one contact and group
meetings were organized in the villages and home to make them friendly with the project.
The technology was then given to chosen farmers.
Mr. Dinkar Sakhare a poor farmer from village Ambegaon (Digar, Taluka-Selu, Dist-
Parbhani living with 7 members in the family. He has land holding of 15 Guntha rainfed
agriculture. Agriculture is the main business of Mr. Dinkar. However, the current drought
situation and due to low production and high input cost, it was difficult for him to keep up
with his family expenses.
He realized the fact that huge amount of vegetables are coming to market from other
nearby blocks in the district and decided to do multilayer farming for vegetable production.
2. PROCESS & IMPACT
Under the project, he went for six days field training on multilayer farming in Badlapur,
Mumbai for getting first hand practical information and learned everything there about the
techniques.
With the help of the organization and financial support of HDFC Bank, he has received
proper guidance and financial support for setting up a 'Multi Layer Farming Demo Plot' in
his field. He has established multi-layer farm by investing some self contribution and with
the financial support from the project.
Three types of vegetables were grown on single piece of land through multi-layer farming. He has
started cultivating short duration green vegetables on the three layers, at the 1st layer Turmeric, 2nd
layer coriander, SHEPOO, Methi, Chili, Tomatoes & Cauliflower, at the 3rd layer Chawali (चऴळी),
Karle (कारले), Dodke (दोडक
े ) and Cucumber (काकडी) were cultivated in this land as sole plantation.
Realizing that the top soil layer in the fields remain unused for a significant period of time
due to late germination of the crop, he has explored ways of utilizing the resources in a
better way for improved production. By using this new technique, popularly called as
multilayer cultivation, he tried to maximize production from an unit of 15 Gntha of land
area. Following this improved cultivation practice; he has cultivated a diverse range of
seasonal vegetables through multilayer technique all over the year. The vegetables were
sold directly in the nearby markets and increased an annual income by Rs. 25,000 to Rs.
30,000, now living well with my family, with good income even during drought, he says.
However, in the present case of multilayer farming technique practiced in the village. Since,
water is drawn from natural spring and stored in cement tanks, there is no scarcity of
water for land irrigation even in the summer season. Moreover, farmers have developed a
rotational system of land irrigation. In this system, a whole day is allotted to a farmer to
irrigate the land using the water stored in the tanks. Through this system, each farmer gets
his chance to irrigate the land at regular intervals.
To overcome the problem of nutrient competition in the multilayer crop fields, farmers
apply a huge quantity of farmyard manure in each of such crop field. Most importantly, the
availability of enough water and farmyard manure has made this multilayer farming
system viable in the village.
As vegetable crops are now being cultivated at 3 layers simultaneously, the new technique
has resulted in increased in income
THE CHALLENGES
Initially, the introduction of multilayer farming techniques was low. Farmers were
skeptical about the technology and were reluctant to invest and risk the whole crop failing.
It was only through demonstrations where farmers could compare the yields of the new
technology with those commonly grown.
Limited awareness and knowledge among farmers remains a challenge for adoption of the
success of multilayer farming. There was a limited availability of products that struggle to
satisfy a fast growing market, due to the lack of professionalization and training or land
limits.
3. STEPS FOR SUSTAINABILITY
The farmers of the village are learning how to voice their concerns in a collaborative
manner. They established a monthly meeting, where they can discuss problems and find
solutions or new ideas that helps them make progress in multilayer farming. Adequate
trainings were conducted to build their confidence and demonstrated the technologies in
farm and field of progressive farmers.
Farmers were advised to grow the sequential crops on their land to harvest some more
crops and also suggested to select crops with high vegetative growth, so that fertility of
land improved along with reduction in weed growth and proper soil and moisture
conservation.
CONCLUSION
Multilayer vegetable cultivation in the village is an excellent example of judicious
utilization of soil and water resources to take full advantage of limited land resources. Also,
access to markets has been one of the major drivers of this innovation in farming practice.
Now he is the ideal farmer from his villages among the other agriculturists in the region.
Soil moisture and nutrient dynamics in this vegetable farming technique should be of
interest to further investigation.
