MENTOR

Focus

Introducing HYDROPONICS to the Farmers from drought regions like Vidarbha & Marathwada.

Clearing misunderstanding about Hydroponics.

Connecting with NGOs & similar institutesto spread our idea.

To decrease per liter milk productioncost.

HYDROPONIC

Alignment

In animal husbandry business 70% of expenditure is done on fodder.

This fodder crop is grown in the farm by traditional way which consumes lot of water & space.

Hydroponics is the fodder crop production technique which overcomes the drawbacks of traditional way.

Besides it’s smaller size & less water consumption Hydroponics is the very economical way of fodder crop production.

HYDROPONIC

Alignment

Agri. Department of Maharashtra govt. have also started the project named ‘ATMA’(Agri. Technology Management Agency) to provide guidance about Hydroponics.

Similar work is happening in Ambegaon tehsil of Pune through NGO named ‘VidnyanAashram’,Pabal.

Due to initiatives of government, some NGO’s & Project students like us, farmers will easily adopt this Technology and will try to implement.

HYDROPONIC

Approach

Farming gets affected by natural calamities. Hence farmers should have ‘Permanent Income Source’which won’t get affected by natural calamity.

As hydroponics is not an open field farming it can not get affected by any environmental conditions,even it is a soil less farming.

Thus we found it as a best choice for our project.

Basically Hydroponics itself is ‘OUT OF THE BOX THINKING’ because of its following features,

1. 70% Cheaper than traditionally grown fodder. 2. No need of soil

HYDROPONIC

Approach

3. 80% less space required.

4. 90% water saving.

5. Well suited for semi-arid & drought prone

region.

6. Enhancement in milk nutritive value.

Hydroponics is not just limited upto green fodder production it is a wide concept including many other farm produces (eg. Fruits, vegetables etc.).

The only limitation in hydroponics is the daily systematic routine.

HYDROPONIC

Implementation

The main motto of this project is to encourage Dairy business in Maharashtra.

It is possible only when we will reach the farmers from each class.

To achieve this we planned our project as follows;

Our STALL at

KRUSHI PRADARSHAN - 2017(Agricultural Exhibition)

Place- Manchar,Pune Date- from 20th to 23rd January

More pictures at Krushi pradarshan are displayed in next two slides

Everything that is used in building a Hydroponics plant

was demonstrated to the visitors through video

demonstration on Laptop.

Through our stall we showcased the concept of Hydroponics to the

farmers in a very practical way.

Some visitors were already using Hydroponics fodder technique but they were

facing some major problems due to insufficient knowledge. But we guided

them with the proper reasons of their problems and suggested them an

appropriate cure for that problem.

More than 1500 visitors from

Manchar & many other villages

visited our stall during the period of

three days.The most important thing is,

EVERYONE WAS LEAVING THE STALL WITH THE EXPRESSION

OF SATISFACTION

training program of February month. (Pictures of training session are displayed in next slide)

We have trained these people on How to

initiate the Hydroponic fodder system on small

scale and also explained them some

cost reduction techniques in Plant setup

Around 25 participants were there in this training

session

Inspiring Agristudents to choose

hydroponics as their subject for

project and to do research and cost reductions in the current system.

About 40 agri students listened to the seminar and now 6 to 8 students

from them are doing their final year project

on Development in Hydroponics Fodder Growing Technology

Working with NAAM Foundation

On 4th of February our team members visited the Pune office of NAAM

foundation. We had a great meeting with ARUN NIMKARDE who is incharge of Pune

office.

He made us available his contacts from Beed , Wardha , Ahmednagar & Punedistrict and also assured every possible help from NAAM foundation in these

regions.

Currently we have covered Beed district through NAAM foundation. (Pictures are displayed in the next slides)

Though they can not listen though they can not talk but a day spent with them was as awesome as the day spent with

normal children…

Sustainability

As explained earlier Hydroponics consumes minimal amount of water thus we can save lot of water in this technique.

Doing this we can sustain against one of the biggest social issue of water scarcity.

Due to expensive traditional fodder, keeping cattles became unaffordable for farmers, result of this they sell those cattles in slaughter house.

As Hydroponics is cheaper, anyone can easily afford animal keeping & no animal will be slaughtered.

HYDROPONIC

Sustainability

The only difficulty in our work is How to convince people to use this technique. When we just started our work we faced the problem in communication.

At the same time, sometimes we found people so interested in this technique but they couldn’t implement because of insufficient knowledge.

Sometimes villagers just ignored us because of our casual appearance.

To fix these mistakes first of all we planned a proper and convincing way of communication with villagers.

Also we designed and distributed informatory pamphletsabout Hydroponics where-ever necessary.

HYDROPONIC

Sustainability

For bold appearance we all team members have printed the same Hydroponics T-shirt.

These pamphlets and T-shirts helped us for getting attention from everyone.

Considering all benefits of Hydroponics we have started planning a business plan for this.

At first we have estimated the daily expenditure on one jersey cow.

On an average one jersey cow gives 16 liter of milk daily.
