UNDER SDG 1 & 2 : NO POVERTY AND HUNGER

IRDRP is working to reduce poverty and hunger through Sustainable Agriculture. We encourage farmers to do natural farming by not using Chemical fertilizers and Chemical Pesticides. We give small cash awards to farmers to produce black Gouwni rice which has good protein and controls diabetic diseases.
