With this success ratio of our project execution under CSS in IA-UPDASP, we were further awarded 10 more FPOs under the Atma Nirbhar Krishak Sambhanvit Vikas Yojna a State Sector Scheme of Govt. of UP with 7 in Unnao and 3 in Kasganj District in the year 2023 but these were not under the organic farming system.

In the same year, we also secured an additional 10 FPOs to be developed in Sitapur Districts 1 Blocks under IA-State Agricultural Management Institute (SIMA) in the middle of 2023.
