Our efforts are being acknowledged and appreciated by our partnering agencies.

Considering the nature of the best practices devoting more and more time alone is the constraint. With the introduction of semester pattern examinations and exam-related work has increased which creates a time constraint for conducting various NSS and other social activities. (Time limitation in semester scheme). Majority of the students are from the rural background, so their involvement in various activities is limited.For girl students getting parental permission, for attending residential camps does not come easily.As overwhelmingly the campus is buzzing with socially inclined activities year after year, compared to the requirement, infrastructural facilities are limited, such as availability of auditorium or vacant classrooms for parallel activities.Getting sponsorship is the biggest hurdle as there is no financial allotment and the extent to which the society is covered depends upon the extent of fund flow for these events.Media coverage is limited and publicity thus becomes a challenge.
The College is located in tribal area of Peth Taluka in Nasik District. The main occupation of the peoples is agriculture. Imparting knowledge to these peoples and students about agriculture and fertilizer will help them in pursuing their profession more scientifically. The college promotes Agro-based services and guides the farmers residing the Karanjali area by arranging exclusive programme for this purpose.
To support the adaptation of the small scaled farming production systems to climatic changes in the Karanjali and nearby Karanjali rural area, in order to improve the incomes and living conditions of the family-scaled farmers.
Today the farmers are undergoing with lot of problems in agriculture such as environmental pollution, Soil and water pollution, pesticide attack on crop, chemical fertilizers and so on. These issues have created a better need to overcome these problems for better future of India. This requires guidance to the farmers and students. This will make farmers and students aware about the contemporary agricultural issues existing around and will also help them to develop analytical and design skills. Co-curricular activities prepare students practically for their future. These activities are necessary to raise the moral and ethical values among the students. Co-curricular activities provide helps to know students responsibility towards the society. In view of this, the college integrates the co-curricular activities viz: Vermicompost project, soil and water testing, environmental problems and climate change. The college promotes Implementation of Agro-services and practices to help the rural village farming
Farmers Guidance programme was started in MJM College from June 2015. The objectives of Farmers guidance Center is promoting and empowering the farmers of Peth region by facilitating their training, skills development and showcasing opportunities within the agricultural sector. The information dissemination platform is provided through the hosting of workshops, where our various clients and governmental organizations are able to do presentations to farmers and educate them on various topics. MJM College and Agriculture Dept. Peth Division Maharashtra Govt. organized Farmers workshop on Amba Mohor Saurakshan.
Vermi composting is an alternative to reduce the amount of chemical fertilizers used by farmers. It is a simple and ecologic practice based on the rapid transformation of organic waste into high quality compost “Vermicompost” A Vermicomposting practice in college has been launched in 2015. Vermicomposting is one of the agro-ecological practices disseminated. MJM recognizes the importance of Vermicompost in agriculture sector for farmers and developed entrepreneurial skills among students.
Soil analysis is a valuable tool for farm as it determines the inputs required for efficient and economic production. A soil test is a process by which elements (N, P, K, pH, Ca, Mg, S, organic carbon, and micronutriants: Zn, Br, Mn, Fe, Cu, Mo) are chemically identified in the soil and measured for their “plant available” content within the sample. A proper soil test will help ensure the application of enough fertilizer to meet the requirements of the crop while taking advantage of the nutrients already present in the soil. It will also allow you to determine lime requirements and can be used to diagnose problem areas. Soil and water testing services was started in college in academic year 2015-2016 with the help of students. College trains the group of students to test the soil and water samples from the farm of interested farmers to know the following attributes of the soil and water: Current pH levels of your soil and water. Fertility levels of the principal nutrients. Type and quantity of lime your soil needs. Nutrients need to be added to your soil as fertilizer. Amount of fertilizer your crop and soil needs.
The farmers who use vermicompost consider it to be four times richer than compost, so that only one fourth of the quantity is required. The literature also suggests that Vermicompost provides distinct advantages over conventional compost, although not necessarily for every crop and in every situation. t is certain that there is sufficient evidence of the benefits of Vermicompost to justify further research, both at the University and on-farm levels. Whether the evidence is sufficient to interest an individual organic farmer in trying out the process for him or herself is an individual decision.
Contribution to adapting productive systems to the consequences of global warming at the regional level at a longer term basis through:
A better sequestration of carbon in the soils, or a slowing down of its de-sequestration and The strengthening of natural defense of the agro systems against the effects of global warming. Recycling of waste, More production of organic fertilizers Reduced use of chemical fertilizers Improved soil quality, Best quality of food
Changing habits is a real challenge. Demonstrations in their fields have convinced farmers. Mentality does not accept that worms can make compost that can replace fertilizers. A lot of communication, training, and site visits are necessary to increase the awareness of farmers. Vermicompost can be assimilated directly by plants and can be applied even on tender buds, there is no overdose in use, its application is simple and it is very effective.
