On February 20, 2025, a monitoring visit was carried out at the Horticulture farm in Kaihlam village under the THEIHUAN-II project, which is implemented by Community Development Society and funded by NABARD. The visiting team comprised Shri Paubiakmang Ngaihte, AGM of NABARD, Mr. Lianbiaksang, Project Coordinator, and Mr. Thangzahau, PIA staff.
During the two-hour field inspection, the team evaluated the farm’s overall condition and noted that crops such as oranges and pineapples were thriving. They commended the farmers for their diligent efforts in maintaining the plantation and ensuring its consistent growth. The team was particularly impressed by the farmers’ initiative to cultivate bananas as an intercrop, which had yielded encouraging results. This practice not only optimized land use but also highlighted the farmers’ innovative mindset and entrepreneurial approach.
The visit underscored the positive outcomes of the THEIHUAN-II project in fostering sustainable horticultural practices and enhancing the livelihoods of local farmers. The team encouraged the farmers to sustain their efforts and explore additional opportunities to boost farm productivity. Their words of appreciation served as a source of motivation for the farmers to continue refining their agricultural practices, ensuring lasting benefits for the community.
