Despite the large amount of resources available, government schemes have largely failed to make use of the resources available because rural people are either not aware about it or are hesitant to avail it on account of procedural complications. The organization helped to raise awareness of village level functionaries, which in-turn enabled the project to ensure better utilization of ongoing schemes and thereby improve the flow of funds to the farmers. This also served the purpose of generation awareness about the amounts of fund, schemes available for agriculture development.
The following schemes were mobilized during the year-:
i) The subsidized seeds of moong, and sunflower and paddy ware mobilized for farmers on subsidized rate worth Rs- 60,000.

SANCKET demonstrated plantation of 25 hectares of sunflowers in Baragal, Tarpur, Bidyadharpur and Erdanga area. Sunflower is one of the important crops in India's oil seed production. It has contributed to rapid growth in oilseed production during late eighties and early 1990s. Sunflower is the oil of preference among the consumers all over the world over due to its health appeal and in India too, sunflower oil is the largest selling oil in the branded oil segment. Sunflower is also a crop of choice for farmers due to its wider adaptability, high yield potential, shorter duration and profitability. The crop, during mid nineties, was cultivated in nearly 2.5 million hectares contributing to 2 million megaton of sunflower seed production in the country.
Line sowing for moong (green gram)
Cultivation of moong pulse has been gaining popularity in Jagatsinghpur district for the last couple of years as the farmers are getting higher economic benefit from the increased demand for this pulse.

According to the officials, no additional cost for fertilizer, pesticide and irrigation is needed to cultivate this sort-term crop, helping the farmers save additional production costs. Line sowing for moong cultivation has been playing a significant role in crop intensity and diversification because the crop is short-term and it can be cultivated easily on the rice-based cropping pattern.
