    Problems faced by farmers

    No proper water facilities


    Shortage of labour to work in fields
    Heavily based on bore for irrigation

    Increasing cost of pesticides and quality of seeds available


    in the market.
    Solution
    The main problem in this village is the system of agriculture
    which has a lot of middle men involved in between famers
    and buyers.
    We have to bring all farming and its allied activities under
    one roof.
    For example say,
    Maduthuru Village Society of Farming and its Allied
    Activities (MVSFAA)
    MVSFAA
    Each and every farmer (including landless) in the village and

    the labour should be registered in the society

    The society is headed by the president of the village and he

    will be supported by the working committee

    All inputs for irrigation and outputs should pass through this

    society
    Functions of MVSFAA
    Inputs of farming
    Providing seeds, Pesticides, Labour, Tractors and other useful
    machinery on rent

    Outputs of farming
    Sale of produced yield, Settlement of money to farmours, Labour,
    Identifying potential buyers of milk and thereby encouraging the
    livestock activities in the village

    Welfare activities in village


    What ever the money earned by the society as profit will be spent for
    the welfare of village like maintaining canals and storing rain water,
    education to poor children
    Thank You
