agri seva
TRANSCRIPT
Presented by: Dr. Sanjeev Sable
Intro to Agriseva
Agriseva works with small & marginal farmers for their
empowerment of their current socio-economic condition
through innovative ways of farming.
In present times, the word “farmer” refers to a man
surrounded with infinite mental trauma, who has to deal with
many uncertainties and ends up with negligible revenue or
commits suicides.
Agriseva stands with these farmers to minimize uncertainty &
mental trauma and to maximize revenue by use of innovative
ways of farming and by providing support resources offered by
government. Agriseva team is committed to use their diverse
experience, knowledge and skills to understand the issues
faced by farmers by starting work at the grass root level.
Vision
Therefore go and
teach all nations,
baptizing them in
the name of the
Father and of the
Son and of the Holy
Spirit, teaching
them to observe all
things, whatever I
commanded you.
And, behold, I am
with you all the
days until the end of
the world. Amen.
(Mat 28:19-20)
