Words, deeds, and inspiration

कृषी विकास और FWWB का काफी पुराना रिश्ता रहा है। कृषि विकास द्वारा बनाए गए FPOs को पिछले कुछ वर्षो में FWWB द्वारा लोन देकर उनकी व्यवसाय वृद्धि के लिए सहायता की है। शुरुवाती वर्षो में नए FPO को लोन प्राप्त करने में काफी दिक्कत होती है। ऐसी परिस्थिति में FWWB की आर्थिक सहायता की वजह से क्रेडिट हिस्ट्री तैयार करने के लिए भी काफी मदत हुई है।
