Turning 0.2 Acres to Massive Agrarian Success: Pramila Devi’s Journey in DSR Farming
Pramila Devi’s relentless dedication bore fruit as her paddy harvest soared, yielding a remarkable 480 kg from just 0.2 acres of land. Today, she stands as a symbol of success in the world of DSR agriculture, her cultivation expanding steadily to encompass 1 acre and 0.31 acres of fertile earth.
Pramila Devi hailing from a humble background in Bihar’s Nawada district, embodies the potential for women in agriculture. On the International Day of Rural Women, her story illuminates women’s vital role in socio-economic transformation. Despite agriculture’s centrality to food security, women in this field face challenges, such as limited training, insufficient technical knowledge, and financial access disparities, leading to lower agricultural productivity than their male counterparts.
