Is it possible to convert a portion of the existing garden into chawki plot?
The aim in raising exclusive chawki garden is to maximize chawki leaf production per unit area and improve the leaf quality for Chawki Rearing Centres. However, there are thousands of farmers to whom CRC facility are yet to reach or are confident to do themselves the chawki rearing scientifically. For such individual farmers, improvement of chawki leaf quality is the prime concern than increasing the quantum of production. Such farmers can mark a small portion of the existing garden (roughly 5% of the garden) and provide additional input of FYM, irrigation etc.
