but if project might be failed than 20 lakh Rs. Is remain
used for another project plan.
 Another plan is Integrated farming system (IFS).
 Agriculture + Horticulture + Livestock production +
Pasture management + Poultry
 Organic farming
 Mushroom production

20. Evaluation
 Project plan is cent per cent efficient.
 Our aim and objective is full filled by this project in 5
year (2022) as data mention in Cost benefit analysis.
 So, this plan is useful for further development by third
