This initiative attempts to de-risk farmers from erratic weather events through the promotion of climate smart agriculture in order to stabilise farm incomes. During 2019-20, 6.54 Lakh acres area was covered under sustainable agricultural practices. 4,786 Farmer Field Schools (FFS) and 2,079 Choupal Pradarshan Khets (CPKs) disseminated advanced agri-practices to farmers. 353 Agri Business Centres (ABCs) delivered extension services, arranged agri-credit linkages and established collective input procurement and agricultural equipment on hire. The company had entered into a partnership with NITI Aayog in April 2018 to improve agriculture and other allied services in 27 aspirational districts of 8 States (Assam, Bihar, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh). In the year, 864 block level agri-officers qualified as Master Trainers (MT), who in turn trained 5,147 village level personnel as Village Resource Persons (VRPs) to train farmers directly. These VRPs have so far trained 9.73 lakh farmers in package of practices appropriate to the dominant crop of the region.
