Abstract
According to Census 2011 information the location code or village code of Chosala village is 519392. Chosala village is located in Dohad Tehsil of Dohad district in Gujarat, India. It is situated 12km away from Dohad, which is both district & subdistrict headquarter of Chosala village. As per 2009 stats, Chosala village is also a gram panchayat. Chosala is where NM Sadguru operates. Sadguru started working with tribals for the improvement of their living conditions by
helping them adapting to better agriculture practices and managing to provide irrigation facility through an appropriate technology. Considering the fact that nearly 90% of the farmers are small and marginal, the impact of these activities has been significant. More than 65,000 tribal households have covered under agriculture development during Kharif (monsoon-based) season 2014 and Rabi (post-monsoon)
season 2014-2015. Massive efforts for this large number of farmers were made to provide them with package of practices, scientific agriculture, agriculture extension, multiplication of seeds, etc. In large number of households, the production has been doubled or tripled due to our efforts. Farmers are also motivated to diversify to other grains, pulses, spices, etc. Nearly 3,000 farmers took up vegetable cultivation program during the past year.
