Kisani Urjaa Pvt. Ltd. (KUPL), an Agritech initiative under Gruner Renewable Energy, recently hosted a two-day CSR outreach event in Vijayawada and Rajahmundry, impacting over 1,000 farmers. Focused on health and sustainability, it addressed healthcare access issues and encouraged eco-friendly farming practices. The event provided free consultations with general physicians, eye exams, and screenings for blood pressure and sugar levels. It also included pediatric and gynecological assessments, along with nutritional counseling tailored to farmers, who often face chronic conditions and occupational hazards.
Workshops highlighted mechanized stubble collection to reduce pollution and create income from agricultural waste, underscoring sustainable transformations in agriculture. Emphasizing efficient crop planning and income diversification, the initiative aimed at boosting profitability and promoting a “Waste to Wealth” approach. Through the Kisani Didi initiative, women farmers were empowered to engage in micro-entrepreneurship and leadership roles.
A key development was the introduction of the Kisani Mobile App, designed to streamline feedstock collection while offering market linkages and crop advisory, thus providing farmers with real-time resources. KUPL’s commitment aligns with India’s vision of a healthier agricultural sector, and encouraged by the success in Andhra Pradesh, similar programs are planned throughout India, supported by the government’s focus on holistic farmer welfare. This diverse approach seeks to enhance the agricultural landscape through innovative solutions and educational outreach.
