00:00Right now, I am at the Delhi hut in Janakpuri, where the Delhi government has organised the Mega Mango Festival.
00:06Do you know how many varieties of mangoes have been brought by the farmers who have come here to do the festival?
00:17We have brought 40-50 varieties.
00:19So, what is the reason for bringing 20 varieties this time?
00:22The mangoes for the last week of June are about to finish.
00:29We have brought 2-3 varieties of the famous Himsagar and Lengda.
00:37Lengda is one variety, but the Fajliya Rasina and Amrapali are some varieties, but they are about to finish.
00:47That is why we have not been able to bring many varieties.
00:52This mango weighs 5 grams and this mango weighs 1 kg.
00:58So, this mango weighs 1 kg and the smaller one weighs 5 grams.
01:06This year, we have brought about 250 varieties.
01:09Previously, we used to bring up to 400 varieties, but this year we have brought only 500 varieties.
01:16So, what is the reason for reducing the number of varieties?
01:20This year, the yield was very low in Malihabad.
01:23The yield was only 20% and not more than that.
01:26That is why we were able to bring so few varieties.
01:28Is it because the farmers are not coming to Bagwani as much as they used to?
01:33No, no. In Malihabad and Lucknow, people are more interested in Bagwani.
01:38They are not as interested in farming as they used to.
01:41But we prepare the plants and make everyone aware
01:44so that the old varieties don't get overgrown.
01:48I have been coming to Delhi for the past 3-4 years,
01:51but my father used to come here.
01:53He has expired, so he is not coming anymore.
01:55So, when your father used to come here,
01:57how many varieties did he bring for the first time?
01:59He used to bring about 300 varieties.
02:01And how many varieties did you bring this time?
02:03This time, we have brought 82 varieties.
02:05Why is the number of varieties decreasing?
02:07The number of varieties is decreasing.
02:09People are not coming to Bagwani as much.
02:11The old varieties are also getting overgrown.
02:13So, what is the reason for that?
02:15Some varieties are getting overgrown,
02:17but we are taking care of them.
