  4. Polyhouse ,“Sabuja Gruha” - an alternative technique in agriculture, gaining momentum in rural India When farmers are only focusing on the traditional way of farming the success of 40-year old Mandodari will only open your eyes. She is the pride owner of this 20m X 7M sized Polyhouse where she is growing some winter vegetables as well mushrooms. This is possible because a polyhouse farm allows farmers to bring down or increase the temperature inside by around 10-12 degree Celsius. By reducing evaporation, they also allow farmers to use sprinkler and drip irrigation systems, thus saving water. A polyhouse is a framed structure in which vegetables can be grown under sufficiently controlled environmental conditions. It reduces dependency on rainfall & makes the optimum use of land and water resources. Ms.Mandodari Garnayak with a smile on her proud face says, "I am looking forward to growing some exotic vegetables like red and yellow capsicum and broccolis for the local market. With growth of industries like JSPL, I am aiming at the food restaurants inside the industrial campuses "

  6. The WOW- Worms at Work Campaign, a step towards a greener environment... As a socially responsible and technology driven organisation, JSPL has been pioneering various initiatives to protect and conserve the environment, spreading awareness message for the greater green cover for shaping up a greener tomorrow in the communities surrounding the district of Angul. One of such greeniatives is: Promotion of organic farming by use of Vermicompost in the backyard. On occasion of World Environment day, 5th June 2013, the Government Officials from District Horticultural department and Farmers Clubs of Jarasingha, Majhika, and Bedasar, with support from JSPL, attended Scientist-Farmers Meet held at Jarasingha. The Government officials distributed 10 Vermi Units to selected farmers from the above mentioned villages. Benefits of Composting: Increases soil workability, water holding capacity, porosity and drainage and enhances microbial action in the soil.

  8. Seed Treatment Campaign for the farmers JSPL has been striving for the betterment of the farmers in the periphery villages. One of such initiatives is concerning promotion of Paddy cultivation.

Scientific and careful seed treatment is an important aspect of increasing paddy productivity.
