Introduction
As the village was in real need of the support, HDFC Bank Ltd. has asked SIED to assess the village needs and design a project so that villages could be developed in its real needs. Satana project is being implemented since 1st April 2018 under “Holistic Rural Development Project.” As per the need in the 11 villages initially emphasis was given on the water resources development, soil conservation, construction of water storage structures, simultaneously the agricultural development through High-tech agriculture, Trellis vegetable cultivation, crop diversification, development of livelihood opportunities, School development, etc. was also taken up.
Pre- Intervention Scenario
Mr. Keshav Mohan Thoke is a farmer from Darhane village. His main occupation is farming and he has 3.5 acres irrigated land. Traditionally he used to cultivate different crops like Maize, Onion, Bajara and groundnut. With this cropping pattern and traditional approach of cultivation provide him a very low income i.e. (35,000/- per acre in average) from the agriculture. Of course high cost of cultivation, crop diseases, crop failures, crop loans, indebtedness and fluctuating market prices were other key factors that used to affect his profit level from agriculture and due to the changing climatic conditions, traditional farming methods, mono cropping, total agricultural production from agriculture was not up to expectations. The net profit after reducing the cost of cultivation which he got is very limited, even he unable to fulfill needs of his family. After getting information under Trellis vegetable cultivation project initiatives about different others crops which could be grown and which could give him more profit, he made up his mind to cultivate Indian Beans (Val) under improved trellis vegetable cultivation method.

Namashkar!! My name is Keshav farmer from Darhane village, for us Trellis vegetable cultivation is very new practice of creeper vegetable cultivation, I am cultivating some of vegetable like Brinjol, fenugreek but not this way. With the support from HDFC bank and SIED initially cultivate Indian bean (val) vegetable crop on 0.125 acre land. As this technique of vegetable cultivation is very for us project team has given all technical support with daily visit to plot. After two and half months of hard work, I’m truly surprised with the unexpected result. Val production get started and selling by own on daily basis in Satana vegetable market got good income. In an average about Rs. 40/ kg got market rate, as such in six month got total 2535 val production and get gross income of Rs.101400/-
