Field Exposure

On 06th April 2024, the Kross staff engaged with one of the partner organizations CODP at Thalapady, Mangalore, for a dynamic interaction. 40 women from SHGs participated, marking a significant stride in the Women Empowerment Project. The team had an opportunity to interact with the women in the field, this engagement provided valuable insights into the challenges faced by the women and highlighted the importance of providing targeted support and resources.

In the afternoon, the KROSS team participated in an interactive session with another partner organization at the Kaup Farmers Producer Co. Ltd, SAMPADA Udupi, exchanging knowledge and experiences on organic farming practices. The session enriched the team's understanding of best practices, market dynamics, and opportunities in the organic farming production. Overall, the field visit was instrumental in deepening KROSS staff’s understanding of grassroots-level challenges and opportunities in organic production, paving the way for future initiatives aimed at empowering SHG women in the state.
