HyFarm's Paathshala Program Graduates Potato Farmers
HyFarm, a company that grows potatoes, created a special program called Paathshala to teach farmers new farming methods.
The program helps farmers use less water, spend less money, and grow better potatoes.
More than 30 farmers, who learned from the program, were honored in a special graduation ceremony.
The program taught farmers about soil, seeds, irrigation, and harvesting, with the goal of improving the quality of potatoes.
These farmers are now sharing their knowledge with other farmers.
This helps the farmers and boosts the overall potato industry.
HyFarm launched a farm school program called Paathshala to teach modern farming to potato farmers.
Over 30 farmers participated in the pilot program and were recognized in a convocation ceremony.
Farmers learned techniques to save water, reduce costs, and improve potato quality.
The program aims to collaborate with 30,000 farmers and procure one million tonnes of potatoes by 2028-29.
Farmers can save up to 40% water and reduce cultivation costs by 12-15%.
