Greenply Industries Limited has launched Kisan Saathi, a structured farmer-engagement programme designed to put expert know-how directly into the hands of the communities it works with. Through Kisan Saathi, farmers around its manufacturing units receive hands-on guidance on which clones and species to plant, fertiliser and soil management, and FSC/FM certification requirements — delivered jointly by its own field experts and specialist third-party institutes. The programme is active around its plants at Tizit (Nagaland), Vadodara and Rajkot (Gujarat), Sandila (Uttar Pradesh), and Kriparampur (West Bengal), and will extend to the upcoming Semiliguda (Odisha) facility.
Kisan Saathi goes beyond training: It provides quality planting material of various suitable species, including high-yielding clones, and guides farmers on intercropping with locally adopted seasonal agricultural crops to generate additional income during the plantation cycle. Periodic farmer meets and participation in large farmer expos keep the partnership active throughout the year, turning a one-time intervention into a lasting relationship and building mutual trust—a key to success.
Sanidhya Mittal, joint managing director, Greenply Industries Limited, said, “Kisan Saathi reflects a true partnership with farmers around our manufacturing units. Crossing 90 million trees and moving closer to our 100 million goal reflects the trust we’ve built with them, and we remain committed to deepening this collaboration in the years ahead.”
