Pramila Naik as a member of the SHG started participating in every training and meeting. In the training she heard of Onion farmers of village Khaliapalli, tons of onions being sold by the farmers to PPCL and acres of cultivation in summer. Inspired she convinced her husband on cultivating at least .25 acres of onion as an experiment. After her initial successes,
In December 2017 they cultivated .25 acre by purchasing NASIK RED seeds @Rs250/-per kg from the Horticulture department.
