Arjun Murmu – Planting Confidence with Maize

Field Notes

Dec 2nd, 2025

With Shaktiman-505 maize seeds and timely training from BWF, Arjun Murmu cultivated eight kathas and harvested 85 kg — almost double his previous yields.

The income of ₹2,550 was important, but the psychological shift was greater.
“The seed gave me more than grain — it gave me belief.”

Arjun’s plot now acts as a demonstration field, inspiring others to step into innovation.
