6.1.5 Crops<br />
All agriculture activities are specially based on monsoon. In the Sankoi project, due to the Moderate Slope / Hilly land agriculture<br />
productivity <strong>of</strong> the crops is very less. Farmers don't use proper farming pattern in their field also. There is no irrigation facility for the<br />
cultivation <strong>of</strong> the crops which is directly affected <strong>of</strong> the crop yield. Due to the erosion (gully and rill), fertility <strong>of</strong> the land is low.<br />
Project would increase the productivity <strong>of</strong> the crops by proving proper irrigation facility to the farmers as well as the different training<br />
programmes for new farming technology by crop demonstration and distributing High yielding varieties seeds to the farmers. Fertility <strong>of</strong> the<br />
land would increase by using vermi-compost and proper cropping pattern in the land. Erosion would be decreased by constructing different soil<br />
and water conservation measures.<br />
