The document discusses sustainable agriculture practices in Andhra Pradesh, India that reduce the use of pesticides. It describes programs run by NGOs from 1997-2011 that promoted non-pesticidal management and pesticide-free villages. Studies found lower costs, higher yields, and economic benefits from using these natural pest control methods compared to conventional pesticide usage. The programs were later scaled up across the state covering millions of acres of farmland.

Second Workshop –1998-the NPM experience was appreciated by scientific communities,farmers and govt. agencies as the cost of cultivation came down dramatically due to the use of indigenous methods with less external input.

Second Phase of NPM program-1998-01 is implemented with partners: MARI, Warangal CROPS, Janagaon NAVAJYOTHI, Ramayampet SWARD, Siddipet KVK-Jalina, KVK-Bableshwar, KVK-DDS, Pasthapur CAFORD, Markapur SPEAKINDIA, Puligilapadu PEACE, Bhuvanagiri Improvement of the program-by recording of predatory and parasite population ,cost of cultivation& cost benefit analysis as compared to check farmers (Non-NPM) was made with gender analysis In 2001 the NPM program was evaluated by HIVOS.-and they were happy to extend the project with some suggestions. CWS made itself to go beyond pest management program and address larger issues in Agriculture. The year 2001-02 is considered as a transitional period from Non Pesticidal Management to Sustainable Agriculture Fifteen Partner groups came into the fold: CROPS, Jangaon MARI, Warangal NAVAJYOTHI, Ramayampet CEAD, Nirmal PEACE, Buvanagiri SWARD, Siddipet DDS, Pasthapur SVDS, Ankapalli GMM, Solipet SECURE, Palvancha TREES, Mulugu PILUPU, Turkapalli SPEAKINDIA, Puligilapadu VIKASAM, Parigi REEDS, Kodangal Program implementation was in 95 villages-1735 ha,involving 1920 farmers
