It was a pleasure joining the Reflection Workshop on 25 years of @WASSANIndia. I exhorted the new generation of CSO leaders to play the role, that was envisaged by the exemplary civil servant and founder of WASSAN, Mr B N Yugandhar, to bridge the gap between community & Government, and make meaningful interventions for the poor and marginalized.

Custodian farmers, women and farmer collectives would now be supported by research organizations to maintain the purity and seed multiplication of these landraces.

[କୃଷି ବିଭାଗ, ଓଡ଼ିଶା @krushibibhag]

Odisha becomes the first State to formally release four Millet Landraces (traditional cultivars conserved in-situ by custodian farmers) as varieties.

[Arabinda K Padhee @arvindpadhee]

Feel extremely delighted with this outcome, and proud to have been a part of the initiative, that aimed to respectfully recognize the smallholder farmers, mostly tribals, who have conserved the rich agro-biodiversity of the region for centuries.

Malnutrition is one of the daunting challenges for the policy space. Nutrition at Doorsteps is a unique initiative to tackle malnutrition and micronutrient deficiency in a sustainable way. ⁦@krushibibhag⁩ https://t.co/2wP8y4Wpmy
