Rajiv Dixit Jaivik Kheti:
Embracing Zero-Budget Organic Farming
At the heart of our approach is the Rajiv Dixit Jaivik Kheti method, which advocates for zero-budget organic farming. This method encourages farmers to use locally available, natural resources like cow dung, cow urine, and plant extracts instead of relying on expensive chemicals. By doing so, we not only reduce the cost of farming but also promote a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach to agriculture.
Key Elements of Rajiv Dixit Jaivik Kheti:

Subhash Palekar Natural Farming (SPNF): Enhancing Soil Health and Sustainability
Incorporating the teachings of Subhash Palekar, we promote his Natural Farming method (SPNF), which focuses on maximizing the use of local resources for sustainable farming. This method highlights four key practices to improve soil health and promote effective, low-cost farming.
SPNF Key Practices:
-
Bijamrita: Seed treatment using natural manure like cow dung and urine, which protects against fungal diseases and promotes healthy growth.
-
Jivamrita: Application of microbial mixtures that help unlock nutrients in the soil, ensuring crops grow using the natural nutrients present in the soil.
-
Acchadana (Mulching): Applying organic material on the soil surface to retain moisture, improve soil health, and prevent erosion.
-
Waaphasa: Creating a microclimate around the roots, enhancing aeration and preventing overwatering. This method is particularly suitable for rain-fed and water-scarce areas.
These methods drastically reduce farming costs, improve biodiversity, and protect crops from pests and diseases, aligning with our vision of environmental sustainability.
Multi-Layer Farming:
Maximizing Land Utilization
Our multi-layer farming techniques help farmers grow crops at different heights within the same field. This innovative method has the following benefits:
-
Maximizes Land Utilization: By growing crops at multiple levels, farmers can maximize the potential of their land.
-
Minimizes Resource Wastage: The method uses natural resources efficiently, requiring less water and fertilizers.
-
Balanced Ecosystem: Multi-layer farming creates a more balanced ecosystem that supports a variety of plant species, contributing to better soil health and crop resilience.
Forestry Farming:
Integrating Trees with Crops
Our forestry farming programs teach farmers how to integrate tree species such as moringa, sandalwood, and other valuable forestry plants with traditional crops. This approach offers numerous benefits:
-
Increased Biodiversity: Adding trees to the farming system improves biodiversity by creating a rich ecosystem.
-
Soil Fertility: Tree roots help improve soil structure and fertility, which benefits crop growth.
-
Additional Income: Farmers can generate income through the sale of timber and non-timber products such as fruits, nuts, and medicinal plants.
Benefits of Forestry Farming:
-
Supports sustainable land use.
-
Improves water retention in soil, making it more resilient to drought.
-
Creates a diverse farming system with multiple income streams.
