In our state of Bihar, agriculture is the true capital of the 81% rural population. Our farmers are mostly marginal and small who is resource poor too. The role of women farmers in maintaining Small Farm Agriculture has immense potentialities in Bihar. It is difficult for them (especially women farmers) to go away from their village to attend training program etc leaving aside their daily farm and home works. If marginal, small and women farmers take up the program such as raising of vegetable nursery, growing short duration, quick growing, early vegetables, aromatic herbs and organic turmeric, they will be able to get regular income which will make them to live with dignity. Inductus Foundation is dedicated for economic development of marginal and small farmers in general and women farmers in particular.
This project has been launched with a view to deliver the valuable technologies at door step because in Bihar, above 90 percent farmers are either small or marginal or landless share croppers. They are very resource poor. It is difficult for them to go to district headquarters or State capital at Patna leaving their work aside. Keeping above view in mind, Inductus Foundation has been working in this field only to help the farmers and for easy adoption of technology. This programme has been appreciated by the farmers as well as media but it needs Govt. / Corporate support too. The present project is pioneer project in Bihar.
