A SPIDER IN OUR COLLECTORATE

PESTICIDES

I HAVE SEEN FARMERS SPRAYING PESTICIDES WITHOUT WEARING ANY PROTCTIVE CLOTHING.
I HAVE SEEN FARMERS MIXING PESTICIDES IN BUCKETS USING THEIR HANDS.
I HAVE SEEN FARMERS COLLAPSING AFTER A SPRAY IN FIELDS WITH HARMFUL CHEMICALS.
I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE IN RURAL AREAS SUFFERING FROM CANCERS.
I HAVE SEEN CHILDREN IN VILLAGES BORN WITH MANY ABNORMALITIES
DUE TO REASONS UN-KNOWN.
I HAVE SEEN SEEN VILLAGERS WASHING AND CLEANING PESTICIDE BOTTLES IN IRRIGATION TANKS, WHILE THEIR CHILDREN ENJOYING A BATH AT THE SAME PLACE.

I HAVE SEEN LAKHS OF LADY BIRD BEETLES DYING AFTER A PESTICIDE SPRAY IN PADDY FIELD

WORKING AS AGRICULTURAL OFFICER

AGRICULTURAL OFFICER'S WORK GIVES MAXIMUM JOB SATISFACTION.
WE CAN - MEET FARMERS , GIVE TIMELY SUGGESTIONS , SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES, INCREASE THEIR LANDS' PRODUCTIVITY AND PASS ON GOVT. SUBSIDIES,OBSERVE NATURE CLOSELY , GENERATE MANY SUCCESS STORIES . I AM SURE , NO JOB GIVES MORE SATISFACTION.
FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS MY INTEREST TURNED TOWARDS PESTICIDE FREE FARMING , ILL EFFECTS OF PESTICIDES AND EDUCATING FARMERS ON PESTICIDES , NATURAL BIOLOGICAL CONTROL ETC.

KOTHAVALASA- MY FAVOURITE PLACE OF WORK

PRESENTLY I HAVE BEEN WORKING AS AGRICULTURAL OFFICER (TECHNICAL) IN JOINT DIRECTOR'S OFFICE AT VIZIANAGARAM.
I LIKE KOTHAVALASA - A MANDAL HEAD QUARTERS IN VIZIANAGARAM DISTRICT SITUATED NEAR VISAKHAPATNAM.
HERE,PEOPLE ( FARMERS) ARE VERY GENTLE, SOFT NATURED.
THE PUBLIC REPRESENTATIVES ALSO ARE VERY POLITE AND NEVER COMMENTED OR INVOLVED IN POLICY DECISSIONS LIKE SELECTION OF ADARSA RYTHUS(MODEL FARMERS) ETC..
