Being the global agricultural powerhouse – India’s food security depends on producing cereal crops, as well as increasing its production of fruits, vegetables and milk to meet the demands of a growing population with rising incomes. The agricultural sector is facing several challenges which includes raising agricultural productivity per unit of land , reducing rural poverty through a socially inclusive strategy that comprises both agriculture as well as non-farm employment etc. The scenario is quite similar in the state of Tripura. Considering every consequences , National Bank of Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) Tripura R. O have taken many initiatives in collaboration with the FPOs and NGOs for the development of agri sector of Tripura. One such initiative is “Introduction of Paddy Transplanter Machine” in paddy cultivation of Tripura. With the innovative initiation of the then General Manager of NABARD , Sri Loken Das , G.M, NABARD, Tripura R. O in collaboration with renowned Farmers Producer Company (FPO) –The Bagma Agri Producer Company Limited (BAPCL) , had introduced a project under Farm Sector Promotion Fund – “Exposure Visit to Coach Bihar and Falkata and field demonstration and Technology” within which 25 nos of farmers are selected and sent to “Satmile Satish Club” of Falkata , Coochbihar in West Bengal in the month of February 2023 . .
The main aim of this exposure visit is to focus on the field demonstration and technology adoption of the farmers and dissemination of this techonolgy to the farming community of Tripura . In this regard ,Satmile Satish Club “O” Pathagar (SSCOP) NGO, Coach -Bihar , West Bengal, executed an agreement with BAPCL in conducting demonstration of technologies on different types of farming.
During visit to the Satmile Satish Club “O” Pathagar, the farmers of Gomati district visited different demonstration plots in regard to sowing of paddy seeds with machineries like paddy transplanter , Zero Tillage, Seed planter, potato seed cultivation, dragon fruit garden, bee keeping techniques., floriculture garden and vermicomposting site.

On return to Gomati district by 22nd February, a meeting was held on 23rd February,2023 at BAPCL conference hall with all the visiting farmers in the presence of MD and CEO of BAPCL and it has been decided that the project will be implemented in two location comprising 2 hectares – 1 hac in South Bagma and another 1 hac in West Khupilong.
As per the operational plan, three phases training on land preparation ,nursery preparation and many other trainings has been organised and executed by BAPCL in collaboration with different line departments, transplantation with paddy transplanter, and fertilisers per hac in both the villages has been gradually distributed . Practical sessions of farmers were an active part of the training on the usage of fertilizers and pesticides on the ground of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Integrated Nutrient Management(INM) approaches . Technical advice and guidance from agricultural experts, agronomists, and extension workers on various aspects of paddy cultivation remained as one of the important portion of the project.
Besides transplantation taken placed in 2 hac( 1 hac in each project location) of land in Daksin Bagma and West Khupilong , the field day programmes and field visits organized by the BAPCL also influenced the invited delegates of ICAR, KVKs , College of Agriculture etc. which resulted to transplantation in 1 hac land of KVK-South , 1 acre land of KVK-Sepahijala, 0.5 acre land of College of Agriculture, Tripura and some more 1 acre of land at Birganj GP under Amarpur R.D Block of Gomati district- a total of four (4) hectare land has been transplanted using transplanter- which seems a success in adopting and transferring of the technology.
