As with all of The PRASAD Project’s programs, the human element is key to the PRASAD Chikitsa Farmers Clubs. By working together, farmers are building partnerships with institutions such as the Indian National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development. As a result, the Farmer’s Clubs are able to secure loans that are not generally available to individuals.
With those loans, the clubs buy seed, fertilizer, and equipment at bulk rates. The farmers also help one another harvest and transport their crops to market. In addition, as the farmers prosper on their own lands, they become more invested in protecting the environment.
