Project Overview

A smallholder farmers rural project that emphasizes cooperative strengthening and sustainability is pivotal for fostering agricultural resilience and economic stability in rural areas. By organizing smallholder farmers into cooperatives, these projects can enhance collective bargaining power, facilitate access to affordable inputs, and improve market linkages. Cooperative models also promote knowledge sharing and collaborative problem-solving, enabling farmers to adopt sustainable farming practices that boost productivity while conserving natural resources. Through training programs and capacity-building initiatives, farmers can learn about crop diversification, soil health, and climate-resilient techniques.
Dashboardshows gives information to management in real-time, about project implementation and progress, thereby aiding them to make informed decisions.

  2. Female Farmers Onboarded
  3. Youth Farmers Onboarded
  4. Onboarded Cooperatives
  5. Onboarded Mega Clusters
  6. State-by-State Performance (% achieved)
