Boosting Farmers' Incomes: The Gandhi Approach

Indian social activist Mayank Gandhi, founder of Global Vikas Trust, suggests that shifting from grain to fruit crops can substantially increase farmers' incomes. Operating in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, Gandhi's initiative has reportedly raised farmers' earnings tenfold. Additionally, his reforestation efforts aim to improve the environment and reduce farmer suicides.

In a game-changing move for India's agriculture sector, social activist Mayank Gandhi proposes a shift from grain to fruit crops to significantly boost farmers' incomes. Gandhi, the visionary behind the Global Vikas Trust, focuses on transforming drought-hit villages in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.

Speaking to PTI, Gandhi highlighted the urgency of the state's supply-demand gap, projected to hit 42 percent by 2030. His organization provides training and market assistance, resulting in a tenfold increase in farmers' incomes. 'From Rs 38,700 to Rs 3,93,000 annually,' Gandhi noted.

Recently, during a U.S. tour, Gandhi connected with Indian Americans to raise awareness for his groundbreaking project. He emphasized that improving farmers' incomes could lead to a significant economic boost for the country. Gandhi also revealed the substantial decrease in farmer suicides in Marathwada due to his efforts and announced the establishment of a world-class farmer training center.
