What happened
Amid concerns over drought and rising labor costs, a group of 12 cultivators from Kekat-Sindgi village in Latur district demonstrated collective farming practices. The group, which underwent training in Nanded district, harvested soybeans across 54 acres using the ijarik system. This collective effort helped the group save approximately ₹2.3 lakh in labor costs this year.
