Call Out…

Mohan, 41, Roya village, Sikar

“Village is selected for organic. Supervisor says some money will come.

I already earn around ₹1.2 lakh from farming.

I don’t want to lose what I have.

Should I go or not?”

Mohan, let us be clear.

You already spend only ₹7,000 on fertilizer.

You never used herbicide. That itself is important.

With two cows and one buffalo, your dung is enough for compost.

So cost side will not hurt you.

No big jump. No big fall also.

Am I alone or someone is holding my hand

You are not fully alone, but not fully supported either.

Government incentive will come — small, one time.

Certification cost may be paid, yes.

But paperwork, records, meetings — you will have to manage or learn slowly.

Group of farmers will matter. Alone it will not work.

Is it really worthwhile or just cosmetics

For you, this is not cosmetic.

Also, this is not magic.

If wheat goes organic and buyer is there, some extra price is possible.

₹15,000–₹25,000 more in a year — possible, not guaranteed.

If buyers are not clear, then don’t rush.

Try slowly. Don’t gamble full income.
