2	NRM based module	Application/use of bioagents (likeTrichogramma spp, NPV, BT, Trichodermaviride and Pseudomonas) along with complete package of practice at farmers’ level in rice and pulses.
3	Horticulture based module	Demonstration of low-cost protected cultivation of vegetables such as coloured capsicum, cucumber and tomato. Note: Varieties will be finalized as per the market demand and experts advise.
4	Livestock based module	Demonstration of scientific goat farming with the introduction of Sirohi, Jamnapari, Black bengal and Barbari breeds. (a unit of 10:1 per farm family and Rs 90000 – 100000/annum income will be generated) Note: Number of animals will be finalized as per the farmer’s resource base and experience.
