Note the small settlement and rice cultivation at such great heights

Indian Farmers Hope for Snow
in northern India. CHAN: Little snowfall and rain in India's northern state of Uttarakhand is causing huge worries among farmers. Besides the life-giving water, Little rain and snow spells doom for farmers in northern India.

CHAN:
Little snowfall and rain in India's northern state of Uttarakhand is causing huge worries among farmers. Besides the life-giving water, the snowfall takes a toll on the pests and helps the manure-compost to set well. Normally there is more than enough water for cultivation. But this year the situation is grim.

[Santosh Singh, Farmer]:
"Since there are no fruits we cannot make ends meet and we will die of starvation...Now it is difficult. Maybe if there is some more snowfall it might be of some help to us... snow should have fallen at least one month back."

The farmers are still hoping against hope. Farming is what most people do in these parts of the Himalayas. (more) (less) Added: 1 day ago

See 
What I observed when I deeply studied these pictures was that the major dependency is on wheat , paddy crops which require a lot of inputs as well as water and returns from them can never be matched with the yields farmers get in plains conditions.
Atleast 25% of the land holdings should be converted to fruit crops .This will not only prevent land erosion but will be a source of cash crop and lesser water as well.

Well,
I have some plans in coming few years to get back to hills as presently I have some project commitments which I can not dishonour midway.
Out here a strong feeling of guilt engulfs me when I am applying some fruitful techniques out where, which I know for sure can help our rural population to mint money and increase their living standards.
Do you know any body (please not a government one) working on this aspect with whom I can involve myself may be online to give my input and later work offline with them.

Welcome back Sir.

What you say is 100% correct.

Arvind Da,

This is great idea. As we can see in some photos, it is not possible to have good farming in high altitude areas. Growing of fruits like apple etc would be a good option and people will also get some emloyment also. Secondly, in valley areas there is urgent need to make the agriculture easier by introducing portable trackers etc. Manual farming is really tough there.

Mehta Ji,
Much is being talked about the power tiller,but again I will point out that it will not be feasible for one farmer to buy it because of lesser land holdings as well as occasional use ,as it will be in use only when tilling for new crop is required.
However it can be used to lift water also if a small pump is attached, from rivers or wells for irrigation.
It can be bought by a cooperative or gram panchayat and then be rented out as per needs or land holdings.
This way maintainance cost can also get reduced and optimum utilization will also be there.
It may give employment to atleast one ITI passed local youth who can be responsible for running and maintaining it.
In fact, after studying this discussion I am feeling as to why am I not investing few lacs in buying 5 power tillers and renting them out as per requirements.Why not start working on this.Is any one there who is trying to understand what I am conveying.Any one with gujrati enterpreneur mindset .
It can be a huge opportunity waiting to be explored.
