Mera Gaon Mera Gaurav (MGMG)

• The programme initiated at ICAR-NRRI, Cuttack during September 2015 and twenty one (21) multi-disciplinary teams formulated incorporating 4 scientists each (including one coordinator) and twenty one clusters of villages (comprising 5 villages each and 105 villages in total) covering 8 districts (Cuttack, Dhenkanal, Jagatsinghpur, Jajpur, Kendrapada, Khurda, Nayagarh & Puri) have been selected. More than twenty five thousand farm families from 105 villages covered; among which 26% belongs to SC/ST and 66% are landless and small farmers.
• Non-availability of quality inputs, drought (un-timely release of canal water in irrigated area), marketing/storage problems, lack of institutional credit, etc. are major problems identified at various clusters.
• Supports being provided through training, village meeting, providing literature in local language, exposure visits, focus-group discussions and mobile advisory services. On an average 180 visits have been made by different teams each year since 2015-16; 28 number of demonstration conducted each year; seed-kits of newly released varieties (25 varieties) of ICAR-NRRI provided; 29 number training conducted (1478 farmers attended); 22 number of literature provided to 1014 number of farmers. Mobile-based Advisory reached to about 200 farmers every year through personalized calls. On an average 150 farmers from MGMG villages called on each year during special events/days at the Institute.
