The Sashya Shilpa Abhiyan, a sustainable livelihood program, initiated by Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Vedanta, has been adopted in the Lanjigarh area of Kalahandi district, to increase agricultural productivity of the farmers resulting in enhancement in their quality of life. This program includes training of farmers in commercially viable & sustainable agriculture, organic farming, irrigation management by diverting streams or by using the water lifting procedure and use of integrated pest management methods. Material help in terms of seed, bio-fertilizers, & pesticides are also provided.
Today thanks to the Sashya Shilpa Abhiyan program, the farmers in Lanjigarh have increased their household income by 200 percent. This is proof of the fact that agriculture & industry can mutually complement each other to promote integrated growth of the society as a whole.
