Farmers would have more problems and through this movie Mr Sainath has to try to show reality in India’s agriculture field there are many suicides which are the going on day by day that is increasing more.
Through movie Mr Sainath recorded about suicides family are facing more problem in family more than 70% people are having 4-5 children what about their children and their families members because they dint know about out of the home activities. They never had seen like this situation. He gave stamen about these families they did not get one rupees from Government and Government people also did not see also like this position.
He fought against Government for giving solution them whoever having like these problems. He collected more data about these issues to show Government finally he got some achievement for giving solution. He gave information regarding suicide families are facing problems.

In the Agriculture module class Sangeeta was taking nice class and she covered more contents. She gave information about in the soil there is mixed things are there. Stone powdered, Micro organ tics, Nitration, water and air. She gave information about mixed content in the soil.
In the fertilizer there are 16 types such as DAP, UREA, NITRAGO, 70:70, 20:20 AND 50:50.
In the rural farmers they don’t know about this contents if they will see and know about that should be fertilizer they will bring easily after harvesting only they will know about result because they do not have basic knowledge about that fertilizers.
She played us game through this game I understood about NPK nutrients this one type of the fertilizer and it included Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potation. She taught about farmers are seeding fertilizers as usually season wise. I got that information.
2nd key task in improving soil fertilizing status
Farm yard manure this like micro organisms and biomass fertilizes gang bag tale powder if person will maintain all those things then farmers get good crops. First farmers will make soil test because it will very important through this test we will get information what soil have reduce content that should be we can add through activity test.
Importance soil fertilize in necessary to mixed in agriculture land then they will get good crops to have build good economic. In the fertilizer there are many types for example oil cakes, grand net, Neem and bio-fertilizer. One more important thought is earth worms because if they want to real organic fertilizers they will get easily through earth worm it is very good theory to do that work without more investment and if they will make once it will come long time to do use in the land for getting good crops through crops making money also that is why earth worm is very important fertilizer ways.
