A small village is located on the border of Joginder Nagar and Padar Sambivan in Himachal Pradesh. The specialty of this village is that only 14 families live here. The village has now emerged as an example for natural agriculture in the Mandapam of Himachal Pradesh. Every house in the village adopted natural farming systems. It is understood that this is a great example of change in agriculture. The special thing is that until a few years ago, there was a tendency of agriculture based on chemical components in the village.
This change has occurred in the village

Which crops grow farmers
Currently, Katar’s farmers grow eight hectares of land using natural farming systems such as wheat, barley, maize, peas, potatoes, soybeans, Rajma and ragi. Villagers say that this method is very useful, in which agriculture is mainly dependent on cow dung and cow urine. These things are easily available because each house is a own cow.
