Sustainable Development |
| SPMESM started working with healthcare projects three decades ago but it always had a holistic development approach. While working for rural health, SPMESM came across the various root causes and decided to work on them, too. The region has its share of adverse agro- climatic conditions. Additionally, climate change effects, socio- political problems and volatile markets for agro produce have been contributing towards the Agrarian Crisis and hampering the agro- based livelihood of the small and marginal farmers. Over 15 years, SPMESM has been finding sustainable solutions to these problems with strong community involvement in each of the projects. Farmer Producers’ Companies, Agricultural Extension projects, Market linkages and backward and forward linkages to agro produce, Energy initiatives, Soil Carbon improvement and various other initiatives have now taken shape as a movement. The Sustainable Development Department of SPMESM covers over 100 villages from 2 Districts and 5000 small and marginal farmers.
