Support to Farmers who are in distress

Over 50% households of our country are directly and indirectly dependent on agriculture. But Indian farmers, especially small and marginal farmers are struggling to make both ends meet. According to India’s National Crime Records Bureau, since 1994, one farmer commits suicide in every 41 minutes. This happens because farmer takes loan for cultivation, cultivates in the absence of irrigation & modern farm facilities and technology. And when he sells the produce, the price of produce does not cover cost of input which was invested by the farmer for cultivation. NCT through NABARD supported Tribal Development programmes (TDF) made an effort to ensure the sustainable livelihood for tribal famers. NCT is working with around 22000 tribal farmers across the three states and making efforts to educate them in modern cultivation techniques, link farmers to govt. programmes, provide farm equipments, etc. Corporate entities can support small & marginal farmers on a community use basis by providing financial assistance for well construction (Rs.100 to 150 thousand), bore well (Rs. 100 to Rs. 120 thousand), pump-sets with plastic pipes (Rs.30 to Rs. 60 thousand) etc. It will be ensured that your support reaches poor and needy farmers by which he/she will able to increase production and improve his/her economic condition as well.

Water Resource Management an initiative for Climate Change mitigation

Low rainfall, high temperature, rugged and fragile terrain, high soil erosion rates due to rain water, short growing seasons and limited availability of suitable agricultural land leads to low agricultural productivity as well as scarcity of water. Water is also being consumed at a rate faster than the rate of replenishment. Since inception NCT has implemented Watershed Development Projects which harmonies the use of soil and water resources between upstream and downstream areas within a watershed toward the objectives of natural water conservation, increased agricultural productivity and a better standard of living for its inhabitants. NCT has implemented such 5 Watershed Development Projects in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh & Chhattisgarh since 10 years with funding from NABARD's Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh Regional Offices. Corporate entities can support such Nobel initiative by supporting us for taking up watershed development projects. As per Government of India Guidelines, watershed treatment cost is Rs. 18000/- per hectr. This amount covers the soil conservation measures, drainage line treatment, training of the community, women empowerment etc. NCT has expertise and experience in successful implementation of watershed projects. Normally a watershed is implemented over a period of 3-5 years. After the completion or during the mid-term, the funding corporate entity can get the evaluation and impact study from any external agency.
