Shakti Organisation successfully conducted a Training Programme on Scientific Pointed Gourd Cultivation for leading farmers at Nuamahulpali Micro Watershed (MWS), Jujomura. The initiative aimed to promote improved cultivation practices, enhance productivity, and strengthen farmers’ technical knowledge for sustainable vegetable farming.
The programme was graced by the presence of the PD Watershed, Sambalpur; ASCO Sambalpur; and Sri Manoj Kumar (I&CB – REWARD Project), reflecting strong institutional support for climate-resilient and income-oriented agriculture. The technical session was led by Shri Biswanath Sahoo, KBK Scientist, Sambalpur, who provided practical insights into scientific farming methods. Topics covered included seed selection, land preparation, nutrient management, pest and disease control, irrigation practices, and market opportunities in pointed gourd cultivation.
Farmers actively engaged in the session by raising field-level challenges and sharing their experiences. The interactive discussions enabled them to gain clarity on improved production techniques and strategies for increasing yield and income. The emphasis on scientific methods encouraged farmers to adopt systematic, knowledge-based approaches to vegetable cultivation.
