FICCI Ladies Organisation (FLO) Hyderabad launches ”Centre of Excellence for Training Women Vegetable Farming” in Ravalkole Village, Medchal District, on the outskirts of Hyderabad.
The training program aims to train women to cultivate, manage, and harvest nearly 50 different hybrid varieties of vegetables and greens.
FLO Hyderabad and East-West Seed Knowledge Transfer Foundation inked an MoU to train 100 women farmers in commercial vegetable farming. These women will not only be the learners but will also become trainers.
FLO will also focus on developing entrepreneurial skills among the 100 women farmers through digital and financial literacy classes.
The program is not just about empowering women in agriculture but also creating a ripple effect by enabling them to become trainers themselves, thereby spreading knowledge and expertise within their communities
This pioneering year-long agriculture initiative, actualized with the scientific collaboration of East-West Seed Knowledge Transfer Foundation, marks a significant step towards FLO Hyderabad’s endeavor to build women’s capacities at the grassroots.
“Resilient Roots, our Agriculture Initiative for the year 2024-25, aligns perfectly with FLO’s mission of ”The Power to Empower.” We believe that by empowering women in agriculture, we are creating avenues for financial agency among them and addressing gender disparity by fostering inclusive growth and development. Social impact initiatives at the grassroots not only transform individual lives but also contribute to the broader socio-economic development of our communities,” said Priya Gazdar, Chairperson, FLO Hyderabad.
