Report on Village Attachment:
In the Village Attachment part of RAWE-2022 we had
performed several tasks, our main framework was divided
into 4 basic parts-
 Collection of primary data of the village directly from the
villagers.
 Collection of secondary data about the village from the different
reliable sources.
 Experiencing different farming activities and various indigenous
techniques, that are used by the farmers of that village.
 Writing & submission reports of various interventions that were
performed by us.
The studies we had done in the village is as follows:
In the very 1st week of RAWE we had performed the
household survey, specifically the asset particulars, income
and expenditure details, cropping pattern etc. by simply
interacting with the farmers.

 Farmers use there farm yard manure along with
chemical fertilizers.
 Farmers cultivate mainly paddy as they think it is the
easiest crop to be cultivated.
