Punjab Sees Rise in Water-Saving Rice Farming

Imagine farmers in Punjab are trying a new way to grow rice called DSR.

Instead of putting little rice plants into flooded fields, they sow seeds directly into the soil.

This saves a lot of water!

This year, more farmers are trying DSR, but not everyone is switching yet.

DSR helps conserve water, which is important because Punjab doesn't have much water left.

To get more farmers to use DSR, they need to learn how it works and get help when things go wrong.

Some farmers are already seeing good results!
