The BC Jindal Foundation has announced that its Farmer Livelihood Enhancement Programme has benefited more than 5,514 marginal farmers across 1,168 villages in 13 districts across Maharashtra. As part of this large-scale initiative that is focused on horticulture development, crop diversification, and capacity building for marginal farmers in Maharashtra's Marathwada region, the foundation has made a cumulative investment of Rs 21 crore so far and allocated Rs 5 crore in FY 2026-27.
Implemented in partnership with Global Vikas Trust (GVT), the initiative aims to enhance farmers’ incomes through sustainable, agriculture-based livelihood interventions.
"BC Jindal Group’s Farmer Livelihood Enhancement Program is committed to the socio-economic upliftment of marginal farmers through agri-based livelihood intervention. The initiative promotes a shift from traditional cropping systems to high-value horticulture and sericulture, supported by technical guidance, market linkages, and modern farming practices in the Marathwada region. We hope to continue bringing a positive change to the lives of farmers in the region through this programme. The initiative stands as a testament to the BC Jindal Group’s enduring commitment to inclusive development, community empowerment, and social equity, contributing meaningfully to building a more equitable and progressive society,” said a BC Jindal Group spokesperson.
