EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The community I selected to do my community service project is Itukalapalli. It is located in the

A nantapur in A nantapur district. It belongs to A ndhra Pradesh Region. It is a big village
consisting of many localities. T here are various communiti es people present in the vil lage.
Mainl y, mo st of the people depend on agriculture for their livelihood. T hey cultivate various
types of crops. The village is not that much fully developed village. The village has one primary
health care center but the availability of the medicines and the doctors are irregular. The village
come under as a panchayat area. The people there residing are receiving the panchayat water
which is provided by the government. The farmers also rear cattle and provide milk to the cities
nearby. Many of the villagers and the children go to cities on daily wages.

ACTIVITIES DONE BY ME:

As a part of my CSP I observed the problems in the village and then started
survey in the village. I started understanding the problems in the village day-by-day. I finally
decided to give an awareness to the people about crop rotation in the village.

LEARNING OUT COMES:

• A nalyze and resolved issues in f armi ng sector and abl e to suggest the best practices.

• Any species of a crop can be planted for Crop rotation.

• The use of organic fertilizers is proving beneficial in taking good production of

crops.

• This technique prevents destruction of soil structure , aeration and water holding
capacity.

• Able to tackle one of the main problem such as reduction in productivity with the
practice of crop rotation .

OVERVIEW OF THE COMMUNITY

Habitation of farmers in India:

 India holds the record for second- largest agricultural land in the world, with around 60% rural
Indian households making their living from agriculture.

 In India, the agriculture sector employs half ofcountry’s population and we are greatly
dependent on the farmers to provide us with means of sustenance.

 Due to sudden changes in the climate improper usage of the fertilizers and lack of knowledge
about the organic farming farmers are getting losses in the crop yields.

 Crop rotation is one of the organic way to increase crop yield and improves the soil health and
best way to save the environment

SOCI O- ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF THE COMMUNITY:

The main source of income for the villagers is agriculture lands and farming earn.
The
villagers also earn their livelihood by going to daily wages in nearby cities.
Men and wo men both started working in the vil l age. So me people also go to nearby
cities as a daily wage workers. The literacy rate of the village is 48.6%. the villagers also rear
cattle and provide dairy products to nearby vi l lages. The main agricultural commodities in the
village are paddy, cotton. The canals cover almost more of the area present in the village.

COMMUNIT Y SERVICE PART

Activities undertaken by me:

• Communi ty service might include taking part in a graffiti clean- up project. The term
co mmuni t y service refers to any act that is performed for the benefit of the community at
large. Acts can range from a onetime.
• During the period of the co mmunity service project, we have gone through many
activities like Group discussion, poster making, making choices, communication among the
group, and interaction with the farmers
• During the interaction with the farmers, I have learnt many new things about farmers
and their life style, being a farmer is not an easy task it takes lot of patience, even though
sometimes they faces huge losses from the crop but they never stop cultivation, they always
start with a new hope.
• The thing I have learnt from farmers is never give up attitude and no matter whatever
the situations are just face them and move towards your goals.
• While interaction with the farmers I had shared my research based information about
crop rotation with them.
• Explained them about the safety measures taken to reduce crop failure and also got to
know that the old practices to protect crops still prevail in villages.
• Given power poi nt presentation on crop rotation ai mi ng as a natural and benef i ci al
practice

AWARENESS ON CROP ROTATION

Itukalapalli is a Village in Anantapur District of Andhra Pradesh State, India. It belongs
to Andhra region . It is located 12 KM towards South from District headquarters A nantapur.
I tukalapal l i is surrounded by

I started my survey to give awareness regarding the crop rotation and effects of using
same crops repeatedly in the vi l lages. I started my first day in the village by knowing the
detailed view of the village. I also started to study about the localities and the population of the
vi l lage. I also collected info regarding the literacy rate and the sources of i nco me for the
vi l lagers.

Through my co mmunity service project I learned the skill of interaction with the
villagers and the officials present in the village. After getting the detailed view of the village I
decided to study the problems present in the village. I made a clear note on all the problems
present in the village. The main problems that i observed in the village are:

 Lack of awareness about crop rotation.

 They are suffering with the less profits.

 Some of the farmers want to do crop rotation but they need some guidance.

 By using of chemical f ertil izers to make large production the farmers didn’t get expected
profits.

25
 I started my door-to-door survey in the village .I prepared few questionnaires to interact
with the villagers and to muc h more about their problems. I also took the help of the grama
volunteer. Interacting with them gives better experience. I began to start my survey in a better
way. I divided the total work for the 8 weeks. After surveying each house I came to know their
problems much betterly.In my survey I came to know many new problems that are faced by the
villagers. The response from thevillager’s side is also satisfying they also responded in a better
way. I felt very glad to know about the age-old cultures and traditions in the village. I learnt
about the modern solutions to the problems in the village.

I interviewed the vi l lagers by asking few questionnaires to do my survey mo re

effectively. The survey questionaries were carried out to get the detailed view of the localities
and problems. I also did my socio-economic survey this survey helped me to do my community
service project easily. I started to spread my ideas regarding the problems that are faced by the
farmers. I started to create basic awareness regarding the pro bl ems they are facing in the
agriculture. I also suggested to crop rotation . I also observed that many people are using
chemical f ertil izers to get large amount of production but there is no occur of chemical
fertilizers if they follow crop rotation process they get good quality and quantity production .

Through this community service project , one can acquire knowledge not only from the
books but also from the public as we know that that the life is precious and we should protect
our health by ourselves. I started to give basic guidance about the crop rotation and the effect
of chemical fertilizers.I explained them about the uses of organic f armi ng on our day- to- day
daily life. I also observed that farmers are showing intrest to do crop rotation after knowing the
advantages of the it.

I communicated with the farmers about the importance of crop rotation. I also
communicate with the farmers regarding the crops they are cultivating and the fertilizers they
are using to get large amount of production . I decided to give an awareness to them regarding
the crop rotation. Crop rotation is helpful to the farmers to get the better yield and get the large
amount of production .

I also decided to share my views regarding the solution to the problem to farmers. I

explained about the crop rotation and it’s uses. I explained about the effects of using chemical
fertilizers to increase production. The diseases also caused with that chemical fertilizers to their
family. After knowing these things many farmers are want to do crop rotation, with that change
I too felt very happy.
