Suttur, December 4, 2019:
ICAR JSS Krishi Vignan Kendra, Suttur, organized a one-day workshop on “The role of women in Agriculture, Afforestation, and Animal Husbandry” as part of the Women’s Day in Agriculture initiative. The workshop aimed to highlight the importance of women in agricultural activities, explore their roles beyond the kitchen, and address issues related to respect, dignity, and rights in the agricultural sector.
The workshop, held at Sooralli Village in Naviluru Gram Panchayat, Nanjagud Taluk, was organized in collaboration with ITC and Myrada Kaveri Regional Institute. Sri R.N. Nanjudaswamy, Agricultural Officer from Mycaps, delivered the introductory speech.
Dr. Arun Balamatti, Head of JSS KVK, inaugurated the workshop and emphasized the significant contribution of women in various agricultural activities. He highlighted that women’s participation in agriculture reaches up to 90% in several countries, including our own. However, he expressed concern over the lack of respect and recognition they receive. He pointed out disparities in wages between men and women and the absence of women’s names in any RTC (Record of Rights, Tenancy, and Crops). Dr. Balamatti urged society and the government to address these issues seriously, engage in thorough discussions, and take suitable action.
Smt. Divya, Scientist from JSS KVK, spoke about the importance of kitchen gardens and encouraged farmers to cultivate chemical-free vegetables in their backyards. She shared the success stories of progressive women farmers, such as Smt. Indiramma from K.R. Nagar and Shivamma from Shivamogga, who have excelled in vermicompost production. Smt. Divya urged the women farmers of Soorahalli village to consider these women as role models and strive for success in their own lives. Smt. Netravathi Yettinamani, Home Scientist, discussed the value enhancement of food and demonstrated KVK demonstration units. Dr. M.C. Satish, Veterinarian at JSS KVK, explained the production of vermicompost, the importance of pure milk, and the measures to be taken for profitable dairy farming.
Sri Rajappa from Mycaps, the program coordinator, expressed his belief that Self Help Groups have performed well in financial matters. He suggested that by joining hands in agriculture, women could achieve even greater progress.
As part of the workshop, various competitions were conducted for the participating women, including the identification of medicinal plants, forest plants, lemon in a spoon, and a musical chair. Women from Soorahalli village enthusiastically participated in these competitions and won prizes.
The program was presided over by Sri Nanjudaswamy, President of the Gram Panchayat. The event began with an invocation by the women participants, and Sri Nagaraj from Mycaps delivered the vote of thanks. Sri A. Anand, Sri Nagannanayaka, Smt.

Suttur, December 2, 2019: Farmers growing paddy are failing to get a better yield these days. Lack of good quality seeds, blast disease, imbalanced fertilizer management and lack of other technical information are the major reasons for this. Noticing this the scientists of the ICAR JSS Krishi Vignan Kendra, Suttur, inspected three different types of paddy varieties as part of the Paddy Field Day 2019-20, held at the Arakere Village in K.R. Nagar Taluk of Mysuru District.
A training programme was conducted as part of this programme in June and RNR 15048 variety paddy seeds were distributed to the selected farmers and they were asked to grow MTU 1010 along with the regular ‘Sanna Madhu’ variety of paddy that the farmers usually grow for personal use, on an experimental basis. They were also provided bio-fertilizers along with a demonstration on seed treatment. They were provided training on integrated nutrition management.
The farmers were successful in growing RNR 15048 variety of paddy. As part of this, the Paddy Field Day was conducted on November 29, 2019, at Arakere village.
The farmers first visited the paddy field where RNR 15048 variety paddy was grown. They were explained how the crop was grown without any disease. This variety has less pest and disease problem and up to 23-25 quintals of yield can be expected. This variety will also be ready for harvesting 10 days earlier than other varieties.
Smt. H. V. Divya, Seed Technology Scientist of the ICAR JSS Krishi Vignan Kendra provided detailed information about the RNR 15048 variety paddy. “It is a 120 days crop, sans blast disease (Benki Roga). Also, you can get more yield than other small paddy varieties,” she said. She explained that there is more demand for this variety of paddy and the farmers may select the corn from the good plant before harvesting. Threshing should be done separately and dry it completely and store it for seeding after mixing it with ash or neem leaves. Farmers who are interested in seed production can enter into a contract with the Karnataka State Seed Corporation or undertake on their own. They can remove melange and get more seed production. The farmers can fetch Rs. 400-500 more price for every quintal of processed paddy through seed production. Interested farmers can contact KVK or KSSC before seeding, she informed.
Farmers Sri Kumar, Sri Ramachandregowda, Sri Shivaraju, Sri Jayannashetty and others who have grown RNR 15048 variety of paddy shared their experiences on this occasion. More than 35 men and women farmers participated in the programme. Smt. Netravati Yettinamane, Scientist, ICAR JSS KVK, Sri Gowraaj, Technical Motivator of Agriculture Department and Kum. Kanaka was present.
