Man has become so greedy that he has systemically planned to destroy agriculture and control food… and probably later on water!!! Agriculture institutes had been set up after World War II to promote the purchase of chemicals from war industry as fertilizers for a new war called “Green Revolution”. The whole plan was to take away the power to grow food from the hands of the poor and put it into the hands of the rich and corporates.
India as the largest agriculture producing country bore the brunt of these wicked plans and today all of its agriculture are hi-breed, cow is hi-breed (Jersey/HF), chicken hi-breed (broiler), even fishes are going hi-breed. But yet after all this effort and claims of hi-yield… production volume per acre is falling and cost of production has been increasing while earlier it was the other way around.
Everyday you can see more and more encouragement for “precision or Hi-tech farming” where minimum cost of setup for an acre is Rs 25Lakh and a particular disdain for old technology. There is more and more dependence on diesel and electricity and absolutely shunning of bull power for not only ploughing but even for transporting stuff in and around the farm. There are subsidies for the fertilizer companies… meaning the burden will be taken by the Government and the corporates will still make money.But will the government take the burden of the poor farmer when the farmer’s crops gets destroyed?
The farmer today do know that they are playing against sinster forces like… Continue reading →
The Water Cup was essentially a competition between different villages to see who can do the maximum work for watershed management and water conservation in the period of the competition. The competition period of the first edition of the Water Cup was 20th April to 5th June, 2016. The top three villages will get cash prizes of Rs. 50 lakhs, Rs. 30 lakhs and Rs. 20 lakhs respectively.
The first edition of the Satyamev Jayate Water Cup was restricted to one taluka each in three districts: Warud taluka in Amravati in Vidarbha, Ambajogai taluka in Beed in Marathwada and Koregaon taluka in Satara in western Maharashtra. It was a pilot edition which will enable to scale up and conduct the Water Cup on a much larger scale in subsequent editions.
During Water Cup, approximately 4,203 villagers completed work worth Rs. 1 crore in 45 days, just in Ambajogai taluka. Sounds impossible? Even kids who had watched Tare Zameen Par promised to bring Pani Zameen Par!
Moral of the Story: Save Rain Water into the ground. A country that doesn’t save rainwater will get no water to drink!
