Recognising the transformative potential of Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) in strengthening India’s agri-value chains, the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Government of India (GoI), launched the Central Sector Scheme for the Formation and Promotion of 10,000 FPOs to empower small and marginal farmers by organising them into collectives.​ NABARD acts as one of the primary implementing agencies for forming FPOs and enabling a robust ecosystem for them. A key intervention under the scheme is the establishment of a dedicated Credit Guarantee Fund for FPOs, jointly contributed by the GoI and NABARD. This fund aims to enhance credit access, reduce lending risks, and empower FPOs to scale sustainably, fostering collective strength, market access, and improved livelihoods for farmers across the country.​ The data presented here pertains to the Credit Guarantee Fund for FPOs formed under the Central Sector Scheme Formation and Promotion of 10,000 Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) with the GoI as the Settlor and NABSanrakshan as the Trustee.

आज देहरादून में नाबार्ड पॉलीहाउस योजना के अंतर्गत Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) के माध्यम से अनुदान वितरण प्रक्रिया का विधिवत शुभारम्भ किया। CBDC के माध्यम से किसानों को मिलने वाली सब्सिडी सीधे डिजिटल वॉलेट में पहुंचेगी, जिससे न केवल धनराशि का सही उपयोग सुनिश्चित होगा बल्कि भुगतान प्रक्रिया में पारदर्शिता आएगी। 'अपुणि सरकार' पोर्टल पर योजना के लिए आवेदन से लेकर सत्यापन तक, पूरी प्रक्रिया को डिजिटल एवं पारदर्शी बनाया गया है। हमारी सरकार पूर्ण पारदर्शिता एवं तकनीक के उपयोग को बढ़ावा देकर मा. प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेंद्र मोदी जी के किसान भाइयों की आय दोगुनी करने के संकल्प को सिद्ध करने की दिशा में संकल्पबद्ध है और CBDC को अपनाना इसी का प्रमाण है।

India’s agriculture largely depends on rainfall, making it highly vulnerable to irregular monsoons, water shortages, and the growing impacts of climate variability.​ To strengthen the resilience and sustainability of rainfed farming, NABARD, in partnership with KfW, has undertaken an initiative that complements existing watershed projects with targeted soil and water conservation measures. This effort, aligned with the One World – No Hunger (SEWOH) initiative of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, aims to enhance land productivity and ensure long-term water security.​ Watch the video to learn more about the interventions and their impact: youtube.com/watch?v=81nCYO… ​ @KfW_int @KfW_FZ_int #NABARD #SoilConservation #Watershed #ClimateAction

JIVA–NABARD Agroecology Workshop Guwahati, Assam The JIVA–NABARD Agroecology Programme workshop convened key stakeholders to deliberate on pathways for scaling sustainable, community-led agroecological systems. The session, led by Shri Krishna Rao (#NRO Head) with support from Shri Shanlang Lyngdoh (COO) and Shri Pawan Kalyan (State Anchor), underscored the #RySS model as a robust and scalable framework for advancing agroecology. The programme places strong emphasis on the farmer learning continuum and internal transformation processes, while systematically building social capital through well-structured cadre systems such as ECRPs and ICRPs. The implementation model of the Meghalaya State Rural Livelihoods Society (MSRLS) was highlighted for its institutional depth and community-driven approach, ensuring seamless convergence from the state level to grassroots functionaries. Deliberations reaffirmed that agroecology extends beyond a set of practices, representing a comprehensive behavioural and systemic transformation. This transition necessitates a phased approach, sustained field-level handholding, and continuous capacity building. The critical role of “seeding the project” through trust-building, on-field demonstrations, and initial support mechanisms was emphasized as foundational for long-term adoption. The MSRLS framework ensures effective last-mile delivery through strong community institutions, while the contextual adaptation of #APCNF principles in Meghalaya reflects a nuanced convergence of scientific methodologies with rich local traditional knowledge systems. This integrative approach has demonstrated measurable positive outcomes over the past three years. @vijaythallam @AndhraPradeshCM @ap_agriculture @icarindia @AgriGoI @NITIAayog @rajbudithi65 @MeghalayaNFryss @Meghalaya_agri #Agroecology #SustainableAgriculture #FarmerEmpowerment #CommunityDriven
