After the advent of the Green Revolution, the income of Indian farmers increased. But the use of chemical fertilizers and hybrid seeds started increasing as well. Also, we started losing our traditional seeds. The farmers of Madhya Pradesh were also not left untouched by this. Hence, the Gram Sudhar Samiti (GSS) started a unique initiative to reduce the dependency of farmers on the market in Sidhi district.
