Appeal for Fund Generation

(Target Audience : NRIs,Scientists,Professionals,Academicians ,Friends and Relatives)

Myself ,Mr Natabar Sarangi,a retired teacher of 81 years age ,honestly appeal you for your esteemed support for completion of a project (A building that would work for the research on Organic farming, located at Niali,Dist-Cuttack,Odisha).The project estimate is 69 lakhs. The plan is designed to

1. House a training hall for share croppers , small and marginal farmers

2. A museum to focus the Agricultural Heritage of India

3. A Library for the farmers and students of Agriculture ,Veterinary Science and allied Subjects

4. Farmers' Boarding Room

5. A small Conference Hall

In last 15 years of work ,we have trained more than 2000 farmers on the principle and methodology of indigenous farming .It is a very small number and in future ,we have plan to train 10000 farmers .We have formed a organic farmers cooperative and we plan to increase this to 200 in numbers and each group will be within 20 farmers. We have trained about 10 to 15 young people on sustainable farming who can be considered as people agi scientists. To facilitate such training ,we have initiated this project.

Mr Sashi Bhusan Behera,Honorary member of Rajya Sabha has sanctioned 10 lakhs for the beginning of the ground floor from his local area development fund. That is his limitation and more funds we have to arrange from the benevolent persons like you .Our Main aim is to make a marginal farmer to revive seed sovereignty and with less input cost to make sustainable farming a viable alternative to industrial farming .Our main thrust area is organic farming and conservation of indigenous rice varieties .As all of you know,Industrial agriculture has threatened the existence of life in our planet .Chemical farming push enough pressure on fossil fuels that may not last for many years to come .Fertilizers and pesticides contribute to global warming. Farmer’s suicide is a bitter result of green revolution technology.MNCs have almost in their way to monopolize seed markets. Consumers experience health risk due to poisonous foods as a result of pesticides.Environment also is in danger .So ,organic farming is a viable alternative.We shall be very happy to welcome you to see our work at the site .
