Mango Plantation – A Boon for ensuring income in NICRA village Gunia and tribal farmers of the district
Situation analysis NICRA adopted village Gunia cluster is situated in Ghaghra block of Gumla district. Village Gunia was selected under NICRA project on the basis of severity of climatic vulnerability (Less precipitation of rain) across the district by using tools Benchmark survey and database. Entire cluster village received less than 400 mm however a positive strength of the village is it is covered by small rivulet Mahasaria which is directly connected with Mahasaria dam. That dam was the eye opening of KVK scientist before selecting the village. At that time irrigation resources existing in the village was two defunct big pond and defunct canal. As far as crop cultivation is concerned mostly monoculture, upland, midland and low land rice based, which was less remunerative. The land situation of the village is upland, medium and low land. Up land area is 70% of the cultivable area. Nearly 70% of the soil type in the village is red sandy loam. Earlier (before NICRA) farmer’s mainly cultivated Gora paddy, Ragi and Maize to the extent of 200 ha in upland during kharif season. The average productivity of the major crop rice was 12-16 q ha-1. The major reasons for low productivity are moisture stress, use of traditional variety and improper crop management. Technology, Implementation and support In the backdrop of constraints faced by the farmers in vulnerable land zone (i'e Upland), KVK developed a strategies to promote “Mango based farming system in rainfed upland red soil” with a long term objective to bring income security to the farmers against climatic vulnerability. An integrated training module was developed by the KVK that include Soil and water conservation, Developing rain water harvesting structure, Digging of trenches, Irrigation sources bore-well and lift system based, Orchard layout, Pit digging and filling with rich manure vermicomposrt, Distribution of regular bearing quality planting material Amrapali, mallika, Management of pest and disease with a provision of staking. And intercropping of crop Wheat, Mustard, Potato, Cauliflower and Cabbage was promoted. During 7 year period from 2012-13 to 2018-19 KVK organized 18 training programmes among 455 farmers. Exposure visit were organized to ICAR-RCER Plandu, Ranchi, KVK farm and successful rainfed mango orchard established by few farmers under the technical guidance of KVK. From 2012-13 onwards supply of quality mango graft was one of the important interventions. During the period from 2012-13 to 2018-19 KVK supplied 1876 no. of grafts of Amrapali, Malika and Langra. Besides this KVK has also made convergence with MGNREGA in promotion of Mango orchards in the cluster village (Gunia, Jargatoli, Burhu, Belagadha and Khambhia) with irrigation facilities. Total mango grafts supplied through convergence was 1760 no. which has covered area of 10.38 ha. Altogether 3636 no. of mango plantation was promoted among 41 farmers in NICRA cluster village. Regular follow up is being done by KVK scientist. For better income market is also linked with the participant farmers Strategy for up scaling mango based farming system in rainfed upland area of Gumla district KVK facilitated to promote Mango orchards in upland area through awareness, capacity building and convergence with different stakeholders and NGOs. Effective convergence with NHM, ITDA and Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Program (MGNREGA) for promotion of Mango based farming system in the other blocks of the district as a resilient strategies for income sustainability. Formation of Mango Producer Group consisting 611 no. of farmers under the guidance of KVK during 2018-19. KVK facilitated marketing. KVK efforts under NICRA and other programme paved a way for spread of mango area in 36 villages of Bishunpur, Ghaghra, Raidih and Gumla in the area of 590 ha belonging to 579 farmers. When this data is compared with the base data of respective village there has been 110% increase in the area. Outcome There has been significant change in the income of farmers owing to adoption of rainfed mango cultivation. The participants’ farmer has succeeded in gaining of the income in the tune of Rs. 50000 to 150000/farmer/annum with a expected production of 2200 ton. Through this efforts on an average Rs. 5 crores revenue will be generated in the district every year. However participant farmers have been succeeded in the earning of 38 lakhs during 2018-19. Farmers of the district has not only succeeded in bumper harvest of mango fruits only but they have been succeeded to harvest crop like Mustard, Wheat, Pulses and Vegetables and Spices as an intercrop and getting the additional good income which is one of the coping strategies against climatic vulnerability.

He knows the constraint and future of his enterprise critically and tried for ensuing regular income but he does not succeeded in maintaining the regular market demand. However he succeeded in assessing the demand. On the basis of his past experiences he felt that some major refinement is needed before mega planning. He realizes the technological gap and accordingly contacted to the KVK for technical intervention (Training). Considering the physical, social, economical and technical gap KVK decide to develop a sound dairy unit in participatory mode in his farm house.
