Most Identi- of the families are adivasis. There are in all 18,000+ inhabitants in these 13 villages. We fied have met the Sarpanches and directly hamlets interacted with the villagers. There could be additions/deletions to/of the villages/sub-villages as the Projects moves ahead.

23 6.A – Solar Water Pumps for Irrigation

Solar Water Pumps – We propose to provide Solar Water Pumps to each of the hamlets on an average of one pump for 10 acres. The Solar water pumps will be fitted in borewells or placed near large water bodies like lakes, rivers canals etc. There will be a network of storage tanks. The water drawn from the borewell will be initially stored in two large storage tanks of 5000 Litres Capacity each placed at a raised platform made of Steel Super Structure. From this tank water will be distributed to different smaller tanks of 1000 liters placed at various fields within the radius of about 5 acres. All the tanks will be inter-connected.

24 6.A – Irrigation Pumps will be on shared basis

This will enable full utilization of each of the Solar water pumps, to draw water from the borewell for at least 8 hours a day from available sunshine hours. The Solar Water Pump will facilitate irrigation throughout the year. This will solve the issue of spending for diesel by those who have diesel pumps. 3 litres of diesel runs for about 5 hours only. The issue of electricity having been disconnected in households for non- payment and hence unable to run pumps or the erratic power supply and power cuts at some of the regions will be resolved and theft from overhead high tension lines that is very unsafe also. With the provision of network of storage tanks connected with pipes will solve the problem of bringing water right upto their crops. The input cost of the villagers goes down with the provision of Solar Water Pumps. The Pumps carry a warranty of 5 years and the Solar Panels carry a warranty of over 20 years.

25 6.B Power Generation on shared basis

One time installation of off-grid Solar power generation. Where there are Transformers close by the excess Wherever Transformers power can be connected to the grid are close to the Solar and net metering meters installed. Panels Net metering This will be an additional source of meters will be fixed so income for the farmers. that the excess power This will enable the farmers to use generated can be fed back several power-consuming equipment to the grid for farming, which they are at present unable to use due to either lack of power supply or are unable to afford to pay for the electricity charges.

26 6.C Solar Powered Cold Storage on shared basis

These facilities will assist in the storage of cut vegetables, flowers and fruits till the products are moved to the nearby market

27 6.D Farm Mechanization

We propose to provide one set of farm mechanization equipment to each of the villages i.e. 13 sets which can be used in a cooperative model. The modalities of using in a cooperative mode will be worked out at each village level. The farmers are still ploughing, sowing, weeding, cutting, harvesting drying threshing the paddy manually. Provision of mechanized farm equipment to be used in a cooperative & shared way will increase productivity and reduce the costs. In the process save a lot of physical labour especially for the women folk of the village Mechanisation helps in improving utilization of inputs, safety and comfort of the agricultural worker, improvements in the quality and value addition of the agricultural produce and also enabling the farmers to raise a second crop or multi-crops. It is stated that the tractor density in India is about 16 tractors for 1000 hectares of land, while the world average is 19 tractors.
