Hazaribagh Women Transform Barren Land into Success with Mixed Farming
- •Ten women in Harhad village, Hazaribagh, Jharkhand, successfully adopted mixed farming on 10 acres of previously barren land.
- •They used self-prepared organic fertilizer to restore soil fertility, demonstrating that barren land can be made productive with effort.
- •The women cultivate seasonal vegetables alongside profitable fruit-bearing plants like custard apple, guava, pineapple, and mango, ensuring year-round income.
- •Mixed farming reduces risk; if one crop fails, others compensate, providing a stable income source.
- •The Leads organization and Hazaribagh Deputy Commissioner Shashi Prakash Singh supported and praised their initiative, encouraging other farmers to adopt similar practices.
Why It Matters: Hazaribagh women achieved financial independence and inspired others by transforming barren land through mixed farming.
