In the aftermath of Cyclone Remal, Mukti provided crucial support to farmers severely impacted by the disaster by distributing Dhaincha seeds. This initiative, completed on June 11th, 2024, benefited 250 farmers in the Nagendrapur and Kankandighi GP areas.
The cyclone caused extensive damage to farmland, severely affecting Rabi crops and vegetable cultivation. Some agricultural lands were submerged under knee-deep water, leaving farmers devastated and uncertain about how to recover.
Before any new cultivation could begin, the lands needed to be restored to their previous condition, which included replenishing the soil’s fertility. Dhaincha, a green manure, is highly beneficial for soil improvement and feeding livestock. The introduction of these plants will add organic matter to the soil and stimulate the activity of soil microorganisms.
Farmers expressed their gratitude and relief upon receiving Mukti’s support, feeling hopeful about the future of their agricultural endeavors.
