DSCL created an out-reach program for sugar cane farmers to alleviate their fears and understand their concerns. This outreach program was to be driven on ground by Gramin Ganna Sevaks where we were asked to train them so that they could drive the purpose of educating the farmers on the benefits of sugar cane faming, new schemes launched by DSCL to promote an incentivize farmers as well as understand their concerns / challenges so that the same could be appropriately addressed.
