A Farmer Producer Organisation (FPO) in Varanasi, established as the country’s first under the Central Sector Scheme for Formation and Promotion of 10,000 Farmer Producer Organisations launched by the Government of India, is setting new benchmarks in agricultural development with the support of the National Cooperative Development Corporation (NCDC).
The organisation is emerging as an example of how institutional support and collective efforts can strengthen farmers’ economic prospects and create new opportunities in the agriculture sector.
Its Chairman, Amit Singh, has highlighted how NCDC’s assistance has played an important role in the organisation’s growth, helping it progress while contributing to the prosperity of its member farmers.
The initiative demonstrates the potential of farmer collectives in improving agricultural operations, strengthening rural enterprises and empowering producers through collective strength.
The Varanasi FPO’s journey represents another significant step towards the government’s vision of Sahkar Se Samriddhi, with institutional backing helping farmers move towards greater economic independence.
