A cluster village is an area where farmers are cultivatin same crop or crop combinations following the Climate Samrt Practices. Cluster Village hence act as a Climate smart model village for farmers in hot spot areas and act as a inormation exchange and feed back receival village on Climate Smart Agriculture providng greater learning experience for farmrs.The basic idea of each Cluster Village is increase farmer income, applying all possible Climate Smart Agriculture practices. CVDPS have been established in 11 districts and covers 530 ac with 630 beneficiaries. The Project expenditure is Rs 43.0 million.
In the implementation process CSAIP will provide basic inputs needed for the development of the CSA farming activities for the selected beneficiaries. The necessary technical inputs for project beneficiaries are given through the Provincial Department of Agriculture. Since the primary village identified will play the role of the model Climate Smart Village and also act as an information exchange centre, it is hoped that farmers are attracted towards Climate Smart Practices required for sustainable farming in each hot spot area. The attraction of farmers will expand the practice of climate smart application making the expansion farming community forming the cluster village.
