#Transforming Dairy Farming Through #Knowledge: The Impact of #Shwetdhara Shwetdhara, supported by IDFC FIRST Bank 's CSR, is revolutionizing dairy farming in rural India—not just by #enhancing #productivity but by #fundamentally changing how farmers #approach their work. Key #Impacts: 1. #Training programs are changing behaviour among farmers. Many now proactively seek #veterinary care and adhere to hygiene standards, resulting in healthier #livestock. 2. Through our #ArtificialInsemination programs, farmers access superior #genetics, leading to a 25-30% increase in milk production per animal. 3. Tailored training on #BalancedNutrition has improved animal #health. Farmers are implementing ration balancing techniques, enhancing cattle #vitality and #milk output. 4. Local women trained as #GramSakhis are becoming vital #CommunityResourcePersons. Over 43,000 farmers across 880 villages have been directly impacted, ensuring knowledge dissemination within communities. Real-World Results: - Reduced #Intercalving Periods from 5-6 months to just 2-3 months, improving breeding efficiency - Farmers are experiencing #calving increases from 6-7 to 8-9 times over an animal's lifespan - Maintaining a 20%-25% #immunity rate during disease outbreaks ensures livestock survival and stability for families. #Conclusion: Shwetdhara exemplifies how #investing in training can lead to profound changes in behavior and practices among dairy farmers. By focusing on #education, we empower communities to thrive #sustainably. Let’s continue supporting initiatives that uplift our farmers and drive meaningful change in rural India! #DairyDevelopment #RuralEmpowerment #Training #SustainableAgriculture

The latest news coming from Odisha highlights the struggles that farmers face when it comes to receiving aid after crop damage. A dearth of agriculture officers in the region has led to a delay in conducting crop loss surveys, leaving many farmers without the assistance they desperately need. As a result, farmers are forced to watch their waterlogged fields with no hope of saving their crops. What do you think can be done to address the shortage of agriculture officers and provide timely support to farmers in need? #abutispinach #Agvocate #AgroDiplomacy 🌾🌱💦

Advancing Climate-Smart Livestock Management and Livelihoods A three-day Pashu Sakhi Training Programme was successfully conducted from 4th to 6th December 2024 under the Climate Smart Village Development Programme, sponsored by ITC Limited, at Sonkatch, Dewas, Madhya Pradesh. The Programme aimed to empower 30 Pashu Sakhis with advanced knowledge and practical skills in sustainable livestock management and climate-smart practices. The training was facilitated by Dr. Lata Sharma, Training Head, BAIF Central Research Station, Urulikanchan, Pune. The training aims to build the capacity of Pashu Sakhis to provide essential animal healthcare services, promote sustainable livestock management, and enhance livelihoods through entrepreneurship. Post-training, they will deliver veterinary services, guide climate-resilient livestock practices, support fodder cultivation, and conduct awareness Programmes. This initiative is expected to generate an additional monthly income of ₹3,000 to ₹4,000 for each Pashu Sakhi, contributing to improved socio-economic conditions in rural households.

We are thrilled to share the latest updates from the #Urvarasa Model Farm in Pisarve (Saswad, Maharashtra). It’s truly rewarding to see the steady progress of our crops as we continue our experiments in the field. The results so far have been fascinating! The untilled land has worked entirely to our advantage, already containing the necessary nutrients for seed germination. As a result, we didn’t need to add any extra nutrients when preparing the land for sowing! We are confident that this project will have a transformative impact on farming in India. We’re eagerly looking forward to collecting data and observations from the farm, as well as conducting surveys in the surrounding community. This will help us develop solutions grounded in local realities, rather than simply reacting to global discussions on unsustainable and exploitative farming practices. India, with the world’s largest cattle population and only 2.4% of the planet’s landmass, faces unique challenges. This makes it even more crucial for us to tackle these issues head-on. Through the #Urvarasa initiative, we are committed to proving that a plant-based farming model can thrive, ensuring that farms remain productive and secure—even in the absence of livestock. https://lnkd.in/dZTw55SJ
