Promotion of Low Cost Greenhouse/ Poly House/

Net House technology, Why?

• Population is increasing @ 9.6 Billion

up to 2050

• Food Security(Need to Increase

Productivity), Safety & Quality

• Less fresh water availability and Labour

• Increase in infrastructure- Land is

decreasing

• Get Quality Food

• As Local as possible & Feasible- Stop

Import in future

• Stop Waste- Reduce use of water,

fertilizers and energy- Produce

Efficiently

• Self employment for dignified youth in

country (93 Milion Indians are marginal

farmer)

Promotion of Low Cost Greenhouse/ Poly House/

Net House technology

• Protected Cultivation-Less area

requirement for Higher production and

quality produce

• Plant Propagation- Decease free,

uniform, healthy planting materials,

available in off-season.

• Cultivation is possible in problematic

agro-climate areas

• Prevent from More winds, Rainfall,

Temperature, Light, Insects, Birds etc.

• Stop Waste- water, fertilizers etc.

• Save Energy & Use Solar PV

• Export quality produce- Higher Rates-

Increase in Rural Poverty

• Get Knowledge and Training

Possible! Good Quality Planting Materials-

Medicinal Plants Seedlings

Vegetable Seedling

Fruit- Citrus, Lemon, Mango Seedling

Challenges- a. High Initial Investment

The Story of a Polyhouse village –Bir Baijnath, HP

• The story relates to village Bir in block Baijnath of Kangra district, Himachal Pradesh which is

frequently visited by tourists for a Tibetian Monastery nearby and as an emerging polyhouse

village. Being a tourist attraction, the place enjoys good exposure from the foreigners which

helped the farmer community of the area know that there is a growing demand for exotic and off-

season crops like spinach, celery, lettuce, colored capsicum and tomato. The farmers found that

growing of vegetables is more suitable for their area and it can uplift their socio-economic status.

These farmers started growing vegetables in open fields but the area has sudden climatic shifts

and the area is prone to sudden thunder storms, hailing, and untimely rains coinciding with fruiting

seasons. Which many times spoils their crops or reduce the yield tremendously.

Shri Vidhichand, Village BirBaijnath (mobile :+91-8091934967 )

Shri Vidhi Chand runs a small shop in the village and has constructed two

polyhouses from Jain irrigation system of sizes 504 sqm and 105 sqm.
