College of Agriculture, Balaghat, (Waraseoni)
was established on 15th September, 2012 in the
campus of Regional Agriculture Research Station
(RARS),Waraseoni, located 4 km away from city of
Waraseoni on Waraseoni - Lalburra Road. The campus is
popularly known as Murjhad Farm as the RARS is
located near the village Murjhad. Geographically, the
college is situated at 21°45’N Latitude 80°50’E
Longitude with an elevation of 301.5 above mean sea
level. The area comes under the Chhattisgarh Plains
Agro Climatic Zone.
The college is pioneer in development of extra early rice
hybrids suitable for double cropping especially for rice
fallow area. In the field of extension, college has
developed close contact with the farmers of the area
through ICAR- Farmers’ FIRST Project, ICAR project on
promotion and expansion of Quinoa in rice fallow areas.
In the year 2019, Peer Reviewing Committee of ICAR
accredited the college with score of 3.01 out of 4.00
scales.
Before the Green Revolution, it was feared that
millions of People in India would die of hunger.
However, the Green Revolution within a few years
showed its impact with the introduction of new
varieties, modern techniques of farming, chemical
fertilizers, synthetic pesticides, germicides, herbicides
and better management of seed. The country, which
greatly relied on imports for its food supply, reduced its
imports every passing year. In 1990s, India had surplus
food grains that enabled the country to rise as an
exporter of food grains.
As the time went by, extensive dependence on
chemical farming began to show its darker side. The
land began to lose its fertility there by demanding larger
quantities of fertilizers. As a consequence, the incidence
of insect/pests and weeds increased resulting in
evolution of resistant biotypes thereby putting pressure
on the farmer’s side to use stronger and costlier
pesticides. Due to increased cost of farming, farmers
gradually fell into the trap of money lenders, who
chemical farming and increasing the concern for health
related issues, there has been a paradigm shift in food
preferences, which are now strongly tilted towards the
organic products. Fortunately, climatic and socio-
economic conditions of India favours organic farming
and the potential can be harnessed simply by
encouraging farmers and providing necessary market
support.
Agriculture has potential to accommodate and/or
give employment to a large number of people. However,
the present situation of the agriculture is very chaotic
and forced to search out the solutions for producing safe
and healthy food. In this issue, organic agriculture is
getting wider recognition as sustainable alternative to
chemical input based system. Although in the market
place to provide clarity on the organic claim, the organic
agriculture requires certification for the consideration as
organic food. Thus the programme is proposed with the
following objectives:
• Create new modules in organic farming for
employment generation
• Curtail use of synthetic inputs in farming.
• Resolve issues of farmers/ producers/ stakeholders
related to organic farming
• Develop linkages on organic produce among
producers, markets and consumers.
• Simplify process on certification of organic produce
• Problems and perspectives in organic farming
• Sustainable employment generation after COVID 19
• Opportunity for self sufficiency in the field through
climate resilient farming
• Sustainable organic module for income generation after
COVID 19
• Use of ITKs and innovations in organic farming
• Market channels for organic produce
• Certification of organic inputs and products
• Role of ICT in creation of demand for organic food
products and inputs
