Hyderabad: Telangana Development Forum (TDF), in association with Jaikisan, conducted an awareness programme on Padmasri awardee Chintala Venkat Reddy (CVR) method for soil enrichment in the farm fields which are under cultivation for over a century at Mudchintalapally on Friday. The objective is to bring awareness among farmers on enriching their farmlands which were unfertile and were yielding less produce.

Padmasri awardee Chintala Venkat Reddy explained his CVR method, which includes removing unfertile soil from top soil and replacing it with the inner soil of earth which is available at 3 to 4 feet in the same agricultural field. While the process costs about Rs 15,000 per acre, it would also improves the crop yield as well as helps reducing the soil temperature which in turn reduces global warming and protects environment.
