Project Objectives
Reduction to drudgery of women through simple and affordable crop management and post-harvest operations; Farmer participatory interventions with agronomic practices
for increasing the productivity and production of local food grains such as small millets (finger millet, little millet, foxtail millet, and barnyard millet) and grain amaranth; Women-centric farm-to-market value chain with value
added product developed from local crops for enhancing household income and women empowerment; Improving the nutritional status of the rural households
through nutrition education to women and children.
