Dear friend,
Yes ICCOA intends to offer such intervention. We may start step wise as follows;
1. a project in Sangla valley on Organic farming based agro tourism
2. Organic policy of Himachal Pradesh which ICCOA intends to take up if there is interest in the Govt departments concerned. We are already discussing that.
3. If there were local organisations, NGOs and Farmers groups who cover a sizable area ( a village, valley, Panchayat etc) and wish to convert to roganic, ICCOA can plan for them and execute the project as well. Financial support is available from several sources to such farmer led projects.
DO YOU HAVE ANY INTEREST AND PROPOSE TO JOIN HANDS WITH ICCOA. Tej Partap
