Abstract: This success story highlights the transformative agricultural practices in Jatipur village, Puri District, Odisha, under the NICRA-TDC Model, emphasizing sustainability and resource optimization. The initiative integrates a Sequential Paddy cum Fish Farming System, enhancing soil fertility and nutrient recycling. Over the past three years, Jatipur’s farmers have diversified their agricultural activities by cultivating CR Dhan rice varieties, hybrid Napier, sweetcorn, marigold, cowpea, and managing kitchen gardens. Key community-driven initiatives, such as mushroom farming and vermicomposting, have generated substantial local income and employment. This integrated approach fosters sustainable agriculture, organic practices, and increased local prosperity, contributing to the broader goal of advancing agricultural sustainability in the region.
