Alignment with OLM :

As per the discussion with OLM DPN , the mission shakti is promoting PGs in the block in which the Saharapada FPC is located . In the next phase , they will release money for PC promotion in the same block, at that time Saharapada will be eligible for the grant and this grant will take at least 6 months from now . CYSD as the promoting institution will facilitate this grant . CYSD has already received this grant for a different FPC in different block . OLM has facilitated the working capital loan to Saharapada through SHG federation . A working capital loan of 2 lakhs is being facilitated .

Meeting with NABARD:

Nabard will not be able to facilitate CEO for the FPC, as this policy has been withdrawn . Nabard now is facilitating only through CBBOs . As saharapada is CYSD promoted and CYSD is not receiving any fund for the institution and capacity building of the FPO so Saharapada FPO is now acting a an independent FPO. We can have a discussion with CBBOs in Odisha to know the requirements . Nabard can provide Working capital to the FPO through their subsidiary Navkisan at a subsidized rate of 9 % followed by grant for institution and capacity building .

Meeting with KVK :

In a meeting with MR. Sukanta,Scientist from KVK we discussed with him bout the problems faced by the BODs in managing the Nursery and the immediate requirements . A training was planned on 13.09.2022 with the BODs and some workers in the nursery .It was discussed to have a whtsapp group where the photos can be shared and advisory can be given to them immediately at the same place.
