Mission Statement

Our Mission: Adopt Poor Farmers and support them towards Sustainable Agricultural Development.

Our Support Plan: Fund 90% for each Farmer’s self sustenance Idea and request the Farmer to contribute 10% to create responsibility. Our Goal: Develop a working model to make Poor Farmers self-sustain. Involve in Policy advocation at District or State level that supports small farmers.

Our Story:
We have been seeing lot of farmer suicides in the news headlines and we thought "Can we do something to save Farmers", which led us to Adopt-A-Farmer initiative.
