Project Title : Participatory Technology Application and Multi-stakeholder Convergence for Market led Agripreneurship and Sustainable Rural Livelihood

Organisation :
Lead Organisation : ICAR-IARI, New Delhi

Objectives :
1.   To assess and integrate economically viable and socially compatible technological options for profitable cropping systems and integrated farming systems

2.   To assess suitable technologies for farm women to address drudgery reduction, income enhancement and livelihood security

3.   To design suitable networks, linkages, and convergence models for improving the overall access of farm households to information, technology, input and market.

4.   To analyse the impact of the interventions under the project and suggest a strategy for up-scaling and out-scaling.

6 IARIMobilization of Small Farmer’s for Group Actions• To motivate farmers to farm farmer clubs so that they get organised and benefit from collective strength. • Farmers need to be organised as they are not organised to reap benefits of government schemes. NABARD has been specially assigned the task of forming farmer clubs leading to farmer club clusters and farmer producer organisations. • Farmers get exploited at two ends: first while buying retail inputs for farming as they buy at higher prices fixed by sellers; while selling wholesale their agricultural produce at lower prices fixed by the buyers the wholesale merchants. This can be corrected through farmer's organisations. • Training farmers through simulation exercises was done to stimulate their interest in organising themselves. Their personal strengths were identified and their achievement motivation was enhanced. Farmers showed interest in coming together and in forming farmer clubs.FarmerHaryana, Palwal, Dadhota500 12/29/2017
