Useful Intel
The land is ready with the FPO for construction.
Got an approval letter from the DoH for construction.
Attended a few meetings with other FPOs as well, and the demand has been for the same asset across FPOs. One good use case might help other FPOs to get support too.
There is no paid staff in the FPO. BoD members are doubled up as treasurer, secretary etc. ( Volunteers)
There are small committees like the marketing committee, and asset management committee to manage the operations. ( They have a Tractor and Truck as shared assets).
FPO would submit the final plan ( trying to leverage few other donors) by 30th June ( +one week)
They have procured 13 MTs of Cashew from 350 farmers.
Cashew, Tamarind, Hill Broom, and Turmeric are major crops.
Plan is inclusive of few basic equipment as well
