Soruda has played a significant role in ensuring that our local farmers and the community at large receive essential resources, including seeds, knowledge, and support. This assistance has enabled them to cultivate a variety of crops, from vegetables and wheat to various fruits and trees, ultimately contributing to the rejuvenation of our forest cover.
After several sensitization and awareness programs, our seed dealers now operate with minimal or no supervision in supplying and supporting all received seeds while also passing on their knowledge to our farmers and the broader community. This represents a significant milestone.
