| Project Brief Description: | The Upper Siang District is wild mountainous area and presents a remarkable topographical variety. District is extremely backward region and the present agricultural practices were mainly characterized by subsistence farming. The district is completely inhabited by tribal (ST) population. Lack of knowledge regarding the scientific cultivation, Pest, disease management technologies etc. Above that, due to their locational disadvantages, they have no access to agriculture and allied information like scientific cultivation, first-hand information on marketing, value addition pest problem etc. Due to this information gap (digital divide), cultivation has become input intensive but not knowledge intensive. Integrated farming system approach involving agri-horti, cattle, pig, poultry and other components and has the potential to enhance productivity per unit area. Being having, climatic conditions ideally for cultivation of various fruits, vegetables, spices, multipurpose trees, orchids, flowers etc. These congenial climatic conditions can be exploited in IFS model for the betterment of farming community. Information and communication technologies play a role in disseminating information to farmers enabling them to decide on the cropping pattern, use of high-yielding seeds, fertilizer application, pest management, marketing, etc. It will serve the purpose of connecting link and pave the way to reach to unreached farmers, Therefore, Project has been proposed for livelihood improvement and empowerment of tribal farmers through Integrated farming systems & ICT application in Arunachal Pradesh. | |||
| Beneficiaries/ Stakeholders: | Resource poor farmers whose livelihood relies on agriculture in the targeted region will be the direct beneficiary. Farmers from border villages will get benefit from the improved options identified and promoted by projects. |
