Government has constructed a percolation Dam in Khamboli village for irrigation purpose. ICA has implemented an irrigation scheme with the financial help of Japan Environment Corporation, Japan, worth Rs. 9 Lakhs. The scheme will irrigate about 100 acres of farmland. The villagers did Shramadan for digging and constructing the well and fixing pipelines. They have also agreed to contribute towards distribution of pipeline in their farms. The scheme has got electrical supply from Govt and has started the work effectively. It has irrigates 65 acres of land as 65 farmers have taken the benefit of the scheme. The Work of irrigation is going on very well as we have formed a committee of villagers to have control over it. They have record of the farmers who has taken the water, for how much time and the amount received for it.They are giving receipt of the money received so no chances for making misuse of money and water. This makes very clear picture of well established setup of self development. As for this they have to do planning, discussion, implementation, they have to follow rules means they learn discipline and this will help them in their personal life also.

3. Four step Rice Paddy Method:-
This year we introduced 4 steps Rice Paddy method to 20 farmers and distributed 4400 kg rice seeds to 110 farmers in subsidized rates. This helps them to increase the rate of cultivation and can get good crops as the seeds were of good quality. This will help them to have multiple crops with good quality.

Improved Farming Methods:
|
|
|
A Scientific Compost Making Methods were demonstrated in the village with the help of Agricultural experts from Japan. Mango Grafting Technique was taught to the villagers by an experienced expert while 2000 mango plants were being grafted in the three villages.
Seedlings of various vegetables for kitchen garden are distributed every year to women. The kitchen garden is also popular as all wastage can be used to produce new vegetables and this helps them to have some additional income source as well as fresh vegetables to eat which is good for health. Means the women gains in double one in the form of money and second good health of the family.

Residential Agricultural training was provided to 200 farmers in 2004 for 4 times . It was very useful to implement their learning’s.
|
|
|
|
Also we have taken 55 farmers twice to visit the Rahuri Agriculture College to study the new techniques of the advance farming and agriculture.
|
|
|
|
Placement of 30 agricultural College students in villages for 6 months. This also helps farmers to learn new techniques from the students. As the area is hillside some of the farmers can not cultivate their land as it is uneven. After discussion we have developed 50 acres of land by leveling for 47 farmers and made is useful for cultivation.
Agricultural tools are very important. In the main season some farmers cannot work effectively as they don’t have the good tools. We have provided Agricultural Tools to 120 farmers.
