A large-scale program near our Mukutban plant, that trains farmers on climate-smart cotton cultivation, helping 4,000+ farmers improve yields and adopt sustainable practices that meet global buyer requirements.
Livestock & Animal Husbandry Programme
Artificial insemination, vaccination, fodder promotion and veterinary camps increase livestock productivity and farmer incomes, improving herd health across multiple districts with 700+ cross-bred animals introduced and 20,000+ animals receiving vaccination.
Horticulture & Kitchen Gardens
Kitchen gardens and horticulture plots diversify household diets and income. The programme improves nutrition and creates surplus for sale. 315 kitchen gardens developed in Satna & Chittorgarh
