Counselling for ryots’ groups

BANGALORE: For the first time in the country, the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) has taken up a programme in Karnataka for training select farmers’ groups to provide counselling to other farmers in distress against resorting to suicides. Under the programme, members of some of the NABARD-sponsored farmers’ clubs have been provided a short-duration training on counselling. The districts where the training on counselling had been provided include Belgaum, Chitradurga, Shimoga, Hassan and Chikmagalur.

Reserve Bank of India Regional Director Devaki Muthukrishnan said there was a need to have inclusive growth to ensure sustainable overall growth of various sectors.
