People from remote and under-served communities do not often have easy access to information about different scientific means and practices of alternative livelihoods. We create awareness among these communities about scientific agricultural practices and different livelihood schemes that can help them to improve their yields.

Volunteers
Farmers and cultivators are not formally organized in most of the areas but their participation in collectives is growing over the last few years. Our volunteers engage with the farmers and cultivators through farmer collectives as well as broader community meetings, encourage them to ask questions and seek information from the subject matter experts.
Experts and partners
We are collaborating with different partner organizations to provide relevant and contextual information to the farmers and cultivators to improve their produce.
Impact Pathways
Information and Awareness
Our change agents motivate farmers and small holders in the community to ask questions using our platform which gets redirected to the subject matter experts for a response. As these responses are accessible for all the people active on the platform, it addresses many other unspoken concerns as well. Other than the question answers, experts also share contextual information related to schemes and entitlements, scientific development and best practices to motivate people to take the benefits of the relevant information.
Behaviour change
The impact of our behaviour change programming is measured through people’s testimonies and impact stories shared on the media platform encourage other users to adopt practices relevant to their context.
Systemic Change
Access to information on the ground has resulted in systemic change in multiple geographies. This includes improved access to Natural Resource Management (NRM) services as a part of the MGNREGA and making informed decisions around crop management.
