As timber trees are a good source of income for the farmers and a solution to the environmental problems being faced at present, the kaveri Gukral Movement is providing necessary assistance to the farmers to take up tree-based agriculture. Every year it conducts field trainings in famous tree farms in tamil Nadu. Now it has organized regional level trainings to benefit the local farmers. By participating in this, farmers can visit a farm near their village and learn about trees that can grow well in their area.
In that regard, currently zone wise trainings are going to be held at Coimbatore, Thiruvannamalai, Tenkasi, Dharmapuri, Tiruvarur, Pudukottai. In the training, pioneer tree farmers and field workers from respective areas will explain about tree cultivation. Also, they will explain about wood sales and market opportunities.
After the training, kaveri Kukural field staff will come directly to your land and advise on the selection of trees suitable for the soil. So the farmers around these districts can benefit by participating in this training. Interested farmers can contact 94425 90079, 94425 90081 for booking.
Also, kaveri Gookural Movement provides all necessary assistance to the farmers who want to take up tree farming. Timber saplings are being provided to farmers at a low price of Rs 3 in 40 Isha nursery farms across tamil Nadu. Saplings such as teak, neem, blackberry, saffron, yellow sandalwood, sandalwood, red sandalwood, kumil, mahakani mature into valuable timber trees in 20-25 years and fetch good prices. Pepper cultivation can also be done for additional income. Pepper seedlings can be mounted on the tree within 3 years of tree planting. This way the farmers can get income every year.
