Fodder Crops

Under our ongoing fodder demonstration program, we conduct 1,000 regular field demonstrations annually, directly engaging with farmers to enhance their forage practices. In partnership with NGOs and State Government organizations, we also organize 25 Farmer Days and 25 Training Programs each year.
