Farmers Innovate - Cycle Dante (My News)

Kotamla Krishna, a farmer hailing from Yeddumylaram village in Medak district invented a rotary weeder.

Finding farm labour has become a Herculean task after implementation of National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS). This had an adverse impact on Krishna's work to tend to his vegetable farm. Even clearing weed over an acre of land daily was costing him about Rs. 2,000.

He saw a model of a plough at a Rythu Sadassu in Zaheerabad and he came up with his innovation—the ‘cycle dante'.

The model features a triangular plate fixed on the sides of a cycle rim. A dante or a plough-like instrument is fixed to it.
