Farmers Programmes
Farmer's Welfare Programmes
Agriculture also has to provide food and nutritional security to the largest population on this planet. However, if this objective has to be achieved in today’s context, it must encompass policies that also protect the basic resources of this planet, say soil, water, air, and biodiversity.
RSS has played the vital role to improve the farmer’s socio-economic conditions, so that they can survive a healthy life. We conduct many programmes to provide modern agricultural information & practices among Indian farmers to improve Food security and nutrition, water and soil quality, biodiversity, and sustainable livelihoods. These Programs are –
- WADI Programme
- Farmers Producer Companies
- Farmers Training & Capacity Building Programmes
- Improved Agriculture
- Promotion of Organic Farming
WADI Programmes
The WADI project is an integral part of its natural resource management policy. It emphasizes supporting holistic development of poor communities with orchard cultivation as the core element. The central focus of the project is the development of a wadi (small orchard) together with suitable soil conservation, water resource development measures and other measures for improving the quality of tribal life such as community health and sanitation, women development, institutional development, etc.
The WADI programme is not only a programme for providing food security and ecological restoration, but it is also a strong foundation to build the local capabilities to initiate other community development programmes for socio-economic development. It is a programme demonstrating the feasibility of ecological restoration with poverty eradication. The impact of this programme is to be measured in terms of additional employment generation, increase in the family income, and reduction in migration, food security, good health, improved literacy, greater awareness and high values as well as provides sustainable income, clean environment and better quality of life.
