Hindustan Zinc’s Initiative

Hyderabad: Hindustan Zinc took up Samadhan initiative to promote sustainable agriculture, collective enterprising, and innovation. For this, it engaged with over 30,000 farmer families across Rajasthan.

The initiative’s five Individual Farmer Producer Organizations (i-FPOs), with more than 6,900 shareholders, collectively generated nearly Rs 5 crore in revenue during FY24. By fostering micro-enterprises like dairy and mineral mixture units, Samadhan is creating economic ripple effects that enrich lives and build stronger communities, the company said. This initiative equips farmers with tools and knowledge to embrace modern farming techniques.

“Recognising the pivotal role farmers play in the nation’s holistic progress, the Samadhan Initiative equips them with tools and knowledge to embrace modern farming techniques, adopt sustainable irrigation methods, and integrate profitable practices like cattle rearing and horticulture. Since its inception, the initiative has trained over 5,000 farmers in advanced agricultural practices and benefited 10,000 farmers through convergence programs.
