Felicitation of Bhavarlalji Jain ...

Being a committed farmer and having spent the childhood in a village, Bhavarlalji Jain has been connected closely with agriculture. He has experienced the difficulties faced by small farmers, especially. He determined to work for agriculture sector even in the event of getting selected as a Gazzetted Government Officer, by carrying the accumulated experience on him. He recognized the necessity of Drip & Micro Irrigation technology for optimal usage of water to bring the small farmers in the stream of development. With this sheer commitment only, he developed and started production of Drip & Micro Irrigation systems required for Indian Agriculture.

Only to make the technology available is not sufficient, but his great contribution was noteworthy in making them literate in their own language, implementing the program for training and visit scheme for strengthening their confidence. He made available a source of assured income to farmers by way of initiating new concept of Contract farming on a crop like Onion in Indian, for the first time on Industrial scales. Around 4500 farmers are engaged in this program. Pipe, Drip, Miro–irrigation is supported by developed tissue culture plants. By undertaking research these banana plants were made available to local farmers at Jalgaon, initially. And as on date, near about 6 crores of banana plants are made available by JAIN IRRGATION, every year. Pomegranate, gerbera plants are made available to farmers along–with banana plants. The technology of Ultra–high Density plantation for mango has been developed and delivered successfully to most of the mango growing states in India, by Jain Irrigation in the context of Indian Horticulture. With this ultra–high density mango plantation, it has become possible to the farmers to take 3 times more production per acre in comparison with conventional mango plantation.

He always has given preference to undertake research by way of working on basic Modern technology required for agriculture sector. He is always considered to be the benchmark for research in agriculture not only in India, but on Global basis. The approach of young generation and the common farmers has turned out to be positive due to his contribution. His contribution is highlighted once again with this felicitation.
