Chairman's Message


      Today history is witnessing that a man is in touch with harmful dangerous chemicals. From 1945 2nd World war, usage of chemical pesticides started. This usage rose to such an extent that this dangerous chemicals existence is found in each and every animate or inanimate objects around us. Human being is in danger if we see the rising percentage of river pollution and decreasing number of useful bacteria, fishes, birds and animals. The soil quality which was degraded in the start due to excessive usage of chemical pesticides has now become too much fertile. Organic vegetables produced out of it are becoming popular in Kolhapur, Pune and Mumbai due to its richness in nutrient.
      Krishi Vigyan Kendra has accomplished the unbelievable task of yielding over 188 crops in just one acre land at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kaneri, Kolhapur. This newly developed unique model of farming has given zeal to marginal land owners/farmers. If a farmer pursues this well planned farming technique instead of getting disappointed due to scarcity of rain, then neither his family members need to search for any other job opportunities nor he requires to search for outside labors to cultivate their own farms.
      The Krishi Vigyan Kendra organizes training camps for farmers where they are made aware of the methods and techniques of organic farming.To preserve the Indian breeds of seeds, seed donation camps are also arranged.
