India's agriculture is
composed of many crops, with the foremost food staples being rice and wheat.
Indian farmers also grow pulses, potatoes, sugarcane, oilseeds, and such
non-food items as cotton, tea, coffee, rubber, and jute (a glossy fiber used to
make burlap and twine). Despite the overwhelming size of the agricultural
sector, however, yields per hectare of crops in India are generally low
compared to international standards. Improper water management is another
problem affecting India's agriculture. At a time of increasing water shortages
and environmental crises, for example, the rice crop in India is allocated
disproportionately high amounts of water. One result of the inefficient use of
water is that water tables in regions of rice cultivation, such as Punjab, are
on the rise, while soil fertility is on the decline. Aggravating the
agricultural situation is an ongoing Asian drought and inclement weather.
Despite the fact that agriculture accounts for as much as a quarter of the
Indian economy and employs an estimated 60 percent of the labor force, it is
considered highly inefficient, wasteful, and incapable of solving the hunger
and malnutrition problems. Despite progress in this area, these problems have
continued to frustrate India for decades. It is estimated that as much as
one-fifth of the total agricultural output is lost due to inefficiencies in
harvesting, transport, and storage of government-subsidized crops.
We started new Mission for awaiting the mass people who do not have access to and control over their resources, say adopting Income Generating Activities to attract self employment among rural educated poorer youth and farmer community, generating awareness about agriculture. We express separately about the programs in our annual reports every year, which are available for all at our offices, who are interested for reading and knowing about our journey, we always welcome them with sincerity. We are also conducted a series of Rural Entrepreneurship Development Program, Farmer’s training and exposure etc. Beyond that the regular program along with new schemes which is under the processing and waiting for sanctioning approval from the concerned authority.
After successful completion of its glorious journey
since a couple of years, Trinetra has been able to provide good performance.
For the very infancy stage, followed by slow growth to unparallel and unmatched
scaling up, the organization has been striving hard within its limited
resources, taking up on challenge after another, aiming to make rural society a
better place to live in. However it puts the credit of success to all
stakeholders without whose support and co – operation it would not march
towards progress.
This
is also an occasion to acknowledge the contribution of our Trustees and
Advisors who have been always helpful in our efforts in Rural Development.
Also, the real credit for our achievements during the reporting year should go
to our village partners and our dedicated staff members, who have been sticking
with us for a long period despite strong attractions elsewhere.
