Last week saw us harvesting paddy in addition to completing additional sowings, weeding and regular farm activities.
As in most parts of the country, combine harvesters do the job of reaping the paddy and separating the grain from the chaff in one operation. We had to do manual harvesting with women labour in a small wet patch where the harvester had trouble going through. We are currently sun drying the grain, protecting from the occasional rain we are seeing.

Dear Sir
Is it profitable for the input Vs output

Good question! 
We grow organic, retail to end customers and are trying to match things out. Doing it for wholesale market is a definite tight rope walk.
in the pictures, you have only planted near the valley/furrow. How are you going to use the middle empty area?
This spacing is mostly for gourds and melons. The vines grow and cover the land.
For crops with lesser coverage, we plant closer.
