FFS- At Bilikal, Aspari cluster and Bandagattu, Devankonda cluster: Topics covered on Contingency plan, since there is poor sowing due to very low rainfall and bio mass plantation protection and survival measures.

Gender enabler explained to the participants to understand how to measure rain and information of rainfall in TV or Newspaper.

Therefore, the Project has installed 'rain gauge' in the cluster to collect rain water and possible to measure in (mm/cm). Here also clarified conversion of 10mm =1cm as used by newspaper. Based on the rainfall farm activities should be practiced. If rainfall is 2-3cm for 3 days, there will be moisture in the soil and one can plough easily. If it is 1cm then it is easy to do weeding. Besides should be prepared to go in for pulses, cereals and millet crops based on rainfall instead of commercial crops. Similarly emphasized that Project introduced rainfall measuring device with in the cluster to enable farmers to scientifically measure rainfall and plan crops.
