This model has continually evolved into the current 3 Fold Model, marked by profound engagement with farmers and their organisations. Vrutti's outreach extends to Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, concentrating on rainfed regions within Government-designated districts, providing essential support to socially and economically marginalized communities such as scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, and small-scale farmers.
