Programs

  • E - Charcha Programme

    Transforming lives by raising awareness on adolescent issues like child marriage, child protection, and nutrition is the focus of the digital platform "E-Charcha," supported by UNICEF India. Particularly prevalent in rural areas of Rajasthan and Haryana, early marriages perpetuate poverty, gender inequality, and health risks. FDI, with UNICEF-Rajasthan's backing, launched the website "E CHARCHA" to educate stakeholders and spur action. Workshops and orientation sessions engaged grassroots journalists, while online media campaigns amplified awareness efforts. Awards recognized exemplary reporting, fostering a culture of impactful journalism.

  • Farmer Training Programme

    Training farmers on safe agro-chemical application is crucial to prevent accidents and ensure sustainable agriculture. FDI, in collaboration with the PI Foundation, launched a program aimed at increasing awareness among farmers about adhering to safety guidelines. Conducted in Lucknow with support from the Department of Agriculture, Uttar Pradesh, the program emphasized the use of safety kits and compliance with label instructions. Approximately 1,500 farmers benefited from the training, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to apply chemicals safely and prevent potential casualties.
