Madikeri, Aug. 21: The way the modern world is moving, it is a common opinion that traditional agriculture is disappearing amidst the rush of IT-BT. The agriculture-dominated Kodagu district is no exception to this. Once, paddy farming was the lifeline of Kodagu. But due to various reasons, agriculture is disappearing.
Meanwhile, efforts to promote and actively engage in traditional paddy farming are also being seen on one side, which is also a hopeful development. This encouraging idea is now being seen in many parts of the district through associations and organizations, including some enthusiastic farmers. Collective involvement motivates everyone in a way. The efforts of many associations and organizations are seeing success due to this.
Especially young women, women, are seen to be somewhat ahead in the heat of modernity. It is rare for such people to get into the mud. But here some women are an exception to this. Every year, they are collectively involved in planting work through an association and are inspiring others with the beautiful experience of farming.
Members of an organization called Bondig Blooms Nurturing Nature, formed by women from many parts of the district, are involved in this work. The idea of this organization is to maintain the balance of water resources through agriculture and environmental care.
In this regard, its specialty is that it shows enthusiasm for field work every year. Every year, this team, along with other devotees, completes the planting work in the field belonging to each member of the organization amidst celebration and excitement, and entertainment such as songs and dances.
This is the fourth year
This time, the team members carried out planting work in the field of Ajjamada Prema Bopanna of Srimangala Biruga. Initially, T. Planting work was carried out in the field belonging to Tadiyangada Sabitha of Shettigeri, the field of Adengada Tanju of Balale Bilur for the second year, and last year in the field of Anjana of Kodandera of Kundada. This time, about 40 women have completed the planting work in an area of two acres with great enthusiasm in the field of Ajjamada Prema, who was not born two days ago.
While beautifying the field is the work of the field owners, the planting work is done with the involvement of other members. Noting this work, the people around are coming forward to convert the abandoned fields back to agriculture, which they say is a promising development.
The leaders of the Bondi Blooms Nurturing Nature organization said that they intend to convert the abandoned fields back to agriculture through the respective owners next year and hold this planting festival there. Last year, the women of the organization were also involved in the planting work conducted by the Connecting Kodavas organization.
This time, Lizette Bachamada of Bondig Blooms, Adengada Tanuja, Kongada Nalina, Tadiangada Soumya, Ajjamada Pramila, Ajjamada Savitri, Chotteyandamada Jayashree, Bollajira Sushila, Bachamada Navita and others were involved in the work.
