In the sun-baked fields of Bihar and Assam, where unpredictable rains and shifting seasons threaten livelihoods, smallholder farmers—especially women—are finding new ways to thrive. Launched in November 2025, this 36-month initiative is more than a project—it’s a lifeline for resilient futures.
In Phase 1, it co-creates state-specific climate-smart models with the governments of Bihar and Assam, drawing on proven pilots to introduce resilient seeds, biofertilisers, and water smart practices tailored to local crops.
Phase 2 rolls out these innovations through FPOs and CSOs, embedding women-led market
linkages and tracking gains in soil health, farmer incomes, and social capital. Digital tools MaaRs integrate with AgriStack and Vistaar, powering chatbots, precise credit, and data driven advice right to farmers’ phones.
By Phase 3, it will scale lighthouse models, mentor agri-startups, and build a compelling
business case for climate adaptation—proving that private investment can unlock sustainable livelihoods.
