The villages at the foothills of Gabharu Parbat, Jorhat, were known for their horticultural production. Since the last couple of years insect pests have frequented their fields even in winters. We organised a workshop on application of biopesticides funded by the DBT, GoI.

We have reached the remote corner of Bijoy Chapori, Majuli with the help of NGO Kristir Kothia towards the goals of the AdaptNET Project under ERASMUS+. About 30 local women farmers have participated in the 10-day training programme from Nov 26, 2021 to Dec 2, 2021, on “ Integrated Farming Alternatives Towards Climate Resilience”. Prior to this, the farmers in this region never had any such training programmes and shared their gratitude. They are also keen on more such trainings in future.
