We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our collaboration with the Government of India to empower tribal communities through sustainable integrated farming. An MOU has been signed with ICAR-CPCRI in Kasargod, Kerala, to promote various government schemes that support agricultural communities through coconut farming.
Our primary focus will be on tribal communities, particularly in the central and western regions of Odisha, where we aim to implement several initiatives. We will encourage coconut and cocoa farming and provide training for creating value-added products, hoping to make a substantial impact on agriculture in Odisha.
As a token of appreciation, a handcrafted momento made from coconut shell was presented to the Director, who was genuinely impressed by the beautiful craftsmanship. We remain hopeful for a successful partnership, guided by the grace of Lord Jagannath. 🙏🙏🙏
CPCRI, over 100 years old, is a leading research organization under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and specializes in coconut breeding, value addition for coconut and cocoa, and germplasm preservation.
