Increasing productivity leads to better capacity utilization of the factories and for farmers it means better income. “Under this Meetha Sona project, we have prepared a programme for the capacity building of the firms. For this we have taken help of about seven subject matter specialists, experts who are renowned specialists in this area. We have prepared the training calendar, which is now being implemented rigorously. We are covering our farmers, giving them training from time to time on all aspects of sugarcane cultivation,” says Tamak.

Dr A D Pathak, Director, Indian Institute of Sugarcane Research, Lucknow said, “DCM Shriram Ltd has been actively promoting sustainable agronomic practices in the sugarcane crop of their catchment areas and this has resulted in conserving 574 billion liters of water in the last five years which has been verified by the scientists of our Institute. We truly believe that such initiatives are important to fulfil the long term goals for sustainability and climate change and these should become industry benchmarks.”
