During the meeting, CAO launched the Farmer Producer Organization saturation drive from Marwah, specifically targeting the FPOs of the Kishtwar District.
Members of the Himalayan Rajmash Farmers Producers Cooperative Ltd. actively participated in this significant initiative. The CAO Kishtwar's visit to the Marwah subdivision was part of his scheduled activities to monitor the overall development initiatives aimed at the socio-economic upliftment of the area.
