CULTIVATION

 

 

Generally villages have created near the paddy Dagaba, wewa and paddy field,. In up country villages mainly created near the paddy lands which can get water supply easily. Village like Hingurukaduwa, kottamuduna, ranugalla are implimented near the large faddy lands. After families become bigger faddy lands had to divide in to small pieces. So the harvest was not even sufficient to fulfill their day-to-day needs. The cost of maintain for faddy lands became higher. People's consumer needs also became very high. Lots of people in this area started to grow another crops instead of paddy.

 

This is how we thought to uplift our parent's economy. As the first step we launched a pilot program, with five parents. The agriculture instructor from Passara explained that how we could get an unexpected income from the "Kithul Tree".(2005/02/04), We hope to give the information through this site. After the pilot program another five parents rushed to collect information from us.

There are so many families without having a faddy lands. So they have to struggle to make their living. We recognized lots of resources that we could developed our income. Some of the resources we can prepare to export. Kitul treacle is the one of our valuable resources of them. Hydro phonics cultivation also a alternative project to get a considerable income.
