CROP RESIDUE MANAGEMENT INITIATIVE IN GURDASPUR DISTRICT

Our About

We’re Leader In Agriculture Market

The Crop Residue Management Initiative in Gurdaspur works with farmers, village communities, and local partners to stop stubble burning and put paddy residue to productive use. Through field workshops, village meetings, and on-ground support, we help farming families adopt practical alternatives that protect soil health, improve air quality, and strengthen rural livelihoods.

One Day District Level Workshop

Officials, partners, and field teams align on the season’s plan to reduce stubble burning across Gurdaspur.

Block Level Workshop

The same plan is taken to each block so local staff and volunteers know their villages, targets, and next steps.

MOU with Sugar Mills

Agreements with mills give farmers a place to send paddy residue instead of burning it in the field.

Entry Meetings in Villages

First village meetings introduce the programme, listen to farmers, and open the door for regular field work.

Mobilisation Meetings in Village

Follow-up gatherings build farmer participation and spread no-burn practices through the village.

Base Line Survey of Farmers

Household surveys record current residue practices so later change in the village can be measured.

OUTPUT OF THE ENGAGEMENT

Village meetings and field work are followed by a clear record of what changed on the ground. Volunteers and partners assess stubble-burning practices, farmer response, and soil health so the Gurdaspur programme can show results, not only activity.

Impact assessment was done by our CRM volunteers in their respective villages.
Based on that data, a cumulative report of 30 villages was prepared.
Cheema Kalan was reported as a no-stubble-burning village last year.
A representative from CEED, supported by GPL, visited the villages, interviewed farmers, and collected soil samples to analyse carbon content in the soil.
