Polyhouse Supports 8 lakh Bumper Crop

“We used to grow maize on our land but life was hard and it just never delivered the returns. I learnt about poly-house cultivation and took a chance – building a 4000 sq.mt. house complete with drip irrigation and solar pump. Everyone thought I was mad – me just a housewife and with no experience in farming.

Apparently I’m the most progressive farmer in our village!” - Chetna Devi, Kurki Village, Rabriyawas, Rajasthan.

Not through a single breakthrough—but through a series of deliberate, well-timed shifts.

September 10, 2026

For a village in Gujarat’s rainfed cotton belt, where farming has become increasingly difficult attributed to rising temperatures, water stress, and declining soil health, the sapling forest has become a visible sign of change.
