AGRO-TECHNOLOGICAL PARK, Seraikela-Kharsawan
Program Overview
The Agro-Technological Park in Seraikela-Kharsawan is a district-level agriculture innovation hub designed to transform rural livelihoods through integrated farming, renewable energy systems, and farmer capacity-building. The park brings together multiple components—horticulture, livestock, fisheries, apiculture, mushroom cultivation, soil health management, and climate-smart technologies—to create a replicable model of sustainable agriculture.
With demonstration units, structured trainings, and field advisory support, the park enables farmers to adopt diversified income streams and transition toward climate-resilient, resource-efficient farming practices. Infrastructure such as solar-powered irrigation, micro-irrigation systems, and renewable-energy cold storage ensures reduced carbon footprint and improved post-harvest outcomes.
The park also strengthens farmer institutions through FPO formation, governance support, and market-oriented training.
Key Objectives
- Establish a state-of-the-art training and demonstration hub for integrated farming.
- Promote diversification through horticulture, livestock, fisheries, and allied activities.
- Introduce renewable-energy technologies to reduce dependence on conventional fuel sources.
- Strengthen farmer organisations and FPOs for market-driven growth.
- Enhance soil health, water use efficiency, and climate resilience.
- Build a scalable model of district-wide agricultural transformation.
Our Approach
- Setting up demonstration plots for horticulture, livestock, fisheries & mushroom units.
- Farmer trainings, exposure visits, and practical skill-building sessions.
- Solar-powered irrigation systems and sustainable cold-storage facilities.
- Soil testing and customised nutrient management plans.
- Support for FPO strengthening, aggregation systems, and collective marketing.
- Continuous technical supervision and field handholding.
Impact & Outcomes
- Increased adoption of integrated farming systems by rural households.
- Improved income diversification and livelihood security.
- Better soil health, reduced chemical dependence, and improved yields.
- Renewable energy systems reducing operational cost and carbon footprint.
- Strengthened community-led institutions enabling collective action.
- A resilient, climate-smart model ready for district-wide scaling.
