Bridging the Agriculture Gap through Innovation and Collaboration in Meghalaya
|
||
|

Meghalaya is a largely agrarian state that is yet to trade agricultural commodities at its fullest potential. The agriculture sector is informally organized. Most farmers have very low land ownership, with an average of 0.6 acres of land, and tend to sow, grow, and sell independently. This self-reliance has meant that farmers have little to no negotiation powers with bulk buyers and cannot build their material capacity over time. This is true of any farmer with smaller land holdings across the globe. Our goal at Smart Village Movement is to introduce top-notch agricultural practices to the rural areas of India, particularly Meghalaya. We recognize the challenges that farmers experience in accessing reasonably priced, high-quality agricultural supplies. To address this issue, we have established Farmer’s Development Centers (FDCs) that have proven invaluable in assisting farmers in underserved rural communities in Meghalaya. Farmers can find all the support they need from FDCs, which act as a One-Stop-Shop offering advisory services, opportunities for scaling, finance, and market linkages. |

Apollo Telehealth Centre Touches Lives in Meghalaya’s Rural Heartlands

A quiet revolution is underway in the remote villages of Meghalaya, as Apollo Hospitals and the Government of Meghalaya’s Smart Village Movement join forces to transform healthcare access. This remarkable collaboration not only brings hope and healing to rural communities but also paves the way for greater acceptance of technology and innovation in healthcare. The partnership between Apollo Hospitals and SVM has birthed a unique healthcare model that blends tradition with technology, providing a lifeline for those residing far from urban medical facilities. This initiative is not only bridging the healthcare gap but also inspiring communities to embrace the potential of technology in improving their well-being. Imagine a world where a doctor’s expertise is just a few steps away, even in the remotest corners of the state. This seemingly impossible dream has become a reality thanks to Apollo Hospitals and the establishment of five Digital Dispensaries. These state-of-the-art clinics bring quality healthcare services, including teleconsultations with experienced doctors, diagnostic tests, and affordable medicines, right to the doorsteps of rural villagers. |
