<p>Farmers are very enthusiastic to share their experiences and technique with others over radio and many give talks voluntarily. Once broadcast, the farmer is approached by others who want to know more from him. In doing so, he becomes a peer to the rest of his community. <br />There are about 20,000 listeners of this Community Radio&ndash; a testimony to the popularity of the Community Radio. Farmers are adopting updated technologies like drip irrigation and integrated crop management practices.<br />Farmers have accrued better remunerations from farming due to access to market intelligence.

Remuneration to women from produce from self-help groups has also had visible impact on their economic independence.</p>
