We also collected documents from farmers who were interested in starting small scale industries, particularly in the food processing sectors such as puffed rice, chuda and bakery. We have submitted the paperwork to DIC for connections under PMEGP programs.

We have actively engaged in meeting and advocacy with various stakeholders such as the IPO (DIC). Bankers and PRI s to establish linkage and coverage initiatives. During these meetings, we provide updates on the status of Nuapada Nutri Rice Cluster (NPNRC) program. By building this important relationship, we hope to continue to strengthen the program and its impact.

In preparation for July 2023, we have developed a comprehensive plan for capacity building activities & exposer visit aimed at farmers. These activities are designed to provide farmers with the necessary skills and knowledge to improve their yields, increase, productivity, and boost income. Through these capacity building efforts, we aim to support the long-term sustainability of the program and empower farmers to achieve success.
