YourStory covered #HDFCBank #Parivartan's Farm Field School (#FFS), initiative in #Bihar's #Vaishali district. The program launched under #HRDP helps the rural and marginalised communities there lead #sustainable lives. Through this initiative, the bank is partnering with #Farmers to transition them from cultivating #cereal crops to #cashcrops or #vegetable farming, leading to a sell-out yield and better income. Under FFS, the bank helps equip, train, and facilitate #farmers who own big land parcels from each village with new farming techniques, vermicompost, irrigation, and intensified vegetable seed cultivation.

Through HDFC Bank Parivartan we have been able to successfully install and run a weather forecast station at #Anjanapur, a village in #Maharashtra where we have our initiated an #HRDP project under Parivartan. The #farmers here face a lot of uncertainty due to the unpredictable weather and the app will send out regular rain and windfall updates to these farmers. This will help them catch the right weather so that they can plan their crops more effectively. “We thought the farmers needed very specific information in regards to their geography. The idea of putting up a weather station emerged when we were scouting on the type of technology we could use & how would we disseminate information.”- Ms Nusrat Pathan, Head - CSR, HDFC Bank.
