Agricon is very new to this initiatives and we are being hand held by Bapu Trust Pune for carrying out the project for inclusion. Our identified project staff are keen to give their best but we need a start-up fund for a year to pay our project staff and recurring expenses like stationary etc.

Your generous support to the program will help us meet our project goal of $ 25,000, that will ensure that the cost of field and Project staff for a year. In time we will be able to increase the number of volunteers and personnel serving for this campaign. Your support will enable us to: Give Salaries to our identified Project Staff for a year.
