The Mojri makers from Nagaur district achieved remarkable success, which led to the expansion of the initiative. Building on this success, a new project was launched to create a Mojri cluster involving 2,700 artisans across the districts of Jodhpur, Jalore, Jaipur, and Pali.

Fodder Beet

The Central Arid Zone Research Institute (in Jodhpur introduced fodder beet (Beta vulgaris) to tackle the challenge of limited green fodder in arid regions.

This crop addresses the fodder shortage from January to April when supply is typically low, and it costs less than 50 paise per kg to produce. Both farmers and the agriculture department in agro-climatic regions have successfully adopted this fodder.
