Chaitanya Rural Development Society

This program aims to facilitate microfinance for Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in rural areas. The issue at hand involves the challenge of directly providing loans to individual beneficiaries, thus the approach involves disbursing loans through SHGs to reach the intended recipients. CRDS is actively involved in offering doorstep loans and providing guidance on the effective utilization of these funds.

The program's aim is to implement a Watershed program and establish Farmers Producer Organizations (FPOs) to facilitate market access for farmers. The key issue identified includes challenges such as depleted underground water levels, poor soil quality, and a lack of advanced agricultural and marketing knowledge among farmers. CRDS is actively working to address these challenges by ensuring farmers receive fair prices for their produce, supplying quality seeds and fertilizers, and offering guidance on the adoption of modern agricultural techniques.
