Mahima Organic technology is a group of farmers who have joined together to the cause of organic farming. The majority of the land under the project is in Dhar District of M.P. this area is a traditionally low chemical dependent area. In recent years, the farmers were finding it tough to maintain fertility of soil apart from facing an increased cost of cultivation. Amidst this, after 1996 a new concept of organic farming was introduced (although this was followed decades ago) to get harvest from natural resources. The initial years were tough and the yields were abysmally low. But gradually, with the help of improved procedures and with the guidance of technical experts, the yield has started improving.
