India Friends Association

🌱 Society Shapers Network is now live in Madhya Pradesh, and the early momentum is encouraging.

9 new Fellows have joined the network, with each Fellow working in their own village and supporting 15–20 surrounding villages. Plans for 10 new hubs are already underway, while the Program Director and 6 Alumni Samaj Shilpis are mentoring and training the next generation of changemakers.

🚜 New Age Farming initiatives led by Samaj Shilpis Pramod Kumar Yadav and Subrat Malik are gaining traction. Through their ongoing roadshow, 40 farmers have already adopted climate-adaptive farming techniques, and plans are underway for a Farm School that will support 500 farmers annually.

From strengthening local leadership to improving livelihoods and sustainable farming practices, this is grassroots transformation in action. More exciting developments ahead. 🌾
