Several departments, including irrigation, Land Development Corporation, and the State Electricity Board, supported the initiative. Prakash, general coordinator of the project. This time around, we were able to bring under cultivation the maximum cultivable area - around 700 acres over nine paddy land collectives barring areas acquired for various projects, canals, farm roads, and irrigation channels,” said C.K. “Preparation of fields itself was a challenge, but paddy field collectives worked in tandem to make it happen. Safirulla sought the support of Amballoor and Edakkattuvayal panchayats to cultivate some 350 acres of the 990 acres of the Puncha in Ernakulam district (the remaining 1,082 acres are in Kottayam) in 2016-17, and the results were stunning. Keecheri Service Cooperative Bank has completed collection of paddy, threshing, packing, and branding, said a release issued here. The plan is to market some 20 tonnes of rice initially, followed by another batch of 20 tonnes. The effort to breathe life back into the Puncha, trapped amid some nine hills, was spearheaded by District Collector K. The rejuvenated Thottara Puncha, where 652 acres of paddy land were brought under cultivation last year, will now be a brand, with the rice produced here hitting the market in that name in the first week of June. A rice bowl that had been lying almost fallow for over a decade has now been revived fully to produce some 1,500 metric tonnes of paddy in a joint effort by the Ernakulam district administration, Agriculture Department, paddy field collectives, and local bodies.
