Satguru Singh and Naresh Kumar - Mavi Sappa village in Patiala district, Punjab
We collectively own 36 acres of agriculture land and work on the fields with our families. The implementation of the DSR method, thanks to ICICI Foundation, has helped us reduce crop input cost and water consumption by a third. Further, it has equipped us to contribute to a cleaner enviornment as it promotes organic pesticides and fertilizers. We are pleased that our yield has increased by almost 3 quintals per acre as compared to earlier methods of cultivation. Now, we advise our fellow farmers to use the DSR method.
Our agricultural practices are now in sync with nature. We have purchased a machine that directly sows paddy with the help of a government subsidy. We are confident that we will not return to the old methods of sowing rice in future.
