Pilot Project on Responsible Use and Container Management in East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh
I appreciate the staff of CropLife India for implementing various meetings in our village. The
staff of CropLife India are very cordial and friendly with the farmer's community. They are
conducting meetings with all types of farmers, especially the farmers who are using
pesticides regularly. The programme is very useful to the agricultural community for their
safety and security. The staff recently conducted a big meeting in which all our local leaders
and our MLA, Shri S.V.S.N Varma participated.
In this connection I thank CropLife India for selecting our village for this excellent
programme.
Thanks and Regards,
Mr. Satyanarayana

PM concepts which are very essential to the farmers, are being implemented by field staff of
CropLife India and are good and appreciated. Field staff of CropLife India are conducting
awareness programmes on protection measures taken while applying pesticides with
farmers at village level regularly. Farmers are also responding in a positive manner and they
frequently request the supply of protection material. It is a good programme and it is very
useful to the farmers. If possible conduct more number of awareness programmes in
different villages which may help the farmer community.

I am very happy that Croplife India selected our village for this project. Our Village farmers
are gaining knowledge on how to buy and handle pesticides. We are also learning how to
store and spray pesticides. Our village farmers have gained knowledge from the Croplife
India master trainers. We have learnt about different nozzles and using them for spraying.
We are gaining valuable information from this project
