AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT:

Agriculture is the backbone of our rural economy. Most of the target groups and people are entirely dependent on agriculture for their survival. Unfortunately due to primitive ways of agriculture, lack of resources to cultivate their lands (seeds, fertilizers, irrigation facilities etc.) The productivity is very low. As the productivity is low, their life especially socially and economically continues to be poor and backward.

Therefore, several programs are planned by EDCI to improve the agricultural system and thus the economic life of the people. Seeds, fertilizers, land leveling, bundling and to some extent irrigation facilities are provided by the EDCI to the marginal farmers. Training in better farming, horticulture, formation of farmer's cooperatives etc. are the other services provided. Every year about 1000 farmers are the beneficiaries of different EDCI programmes.
