The Any Time Money (ATM) model being promoted by the Rythu Sadhikara Samstha (RySS) has evoked a good response in the undivided Anantapur district. The farmers, of late, are witnessing regular income, as expected under the ATM model of cultivation.
The initiative started by H. Narayanappa, a farmer hailing from Mallapuram village in Madakasira mandal is now attracting the other farmers in the villages.
Mr. Narayanappa was convinced when the RySS officials suggested him to go for the ATM model and cultivate multiple varieties of vegetables in his field instead of depending upon a single crop. He cultivated leafy vegetables, radish, carrot and beetroot in his 45-cent land and generated income from the first crop of leafy vegetables within 25 days of cultivation.
