In Jagdishpur, long hours of manual labour once defined farming. Through MVDP, villagers formed the Aadarsh Krishak Hit Samuh and created a Machine Bank stocked with threshers, sprayers, weeders, and wheel hoes.<br />
The results were immediate:<br />
• 30–40% reduction in labour costs<br />
• Timely farm operations<br />
• Reduced drudgery<br />
• Higher net income<br />
“These machines don’t just work faster — they make us stronger together.”<br />
The Machine Bank is now a model of collective ownership and rural self-reliance.
