A Better Tomorrow

Stories, Practices, and Solutions

Located in a rain-fed area with limited water availability, residents say farming in Bhaironkonda has become particularly precarious in the last few years, owing to changing climatic conditions, and increasing costs of agriculture. Distressed, and desperate for solutions, some farmers started participating in Farmer Field Schools (FFS) organised by WOTR in 2019, as part of Axis Bank Foundation’s Sustainable Livelihoods Programme.
In the face of climate change challenges, farmers in Appireddypally, Telangana, were struggling with dwindling yields and migration. The Rural Livelihoods Project by Axis Bank Foundation and WOTR brought hope through the formation of a Mutual Aided Cooperative Society (MACS). Despite initial hesitation, farmers united to establish the ‘Sri Jeevanadhara Paraspara Rythu Sahakara Sangam Limited’ MACS.
