knowledge institutions and allied partners. This is being done through optimal interventions across Agriculture,

The program is designed to help the local people identify their problems, co-create solutions, and then implement
the same on their own with professional support from team Samuday, thereby, lending the dimension of
sustainability and ownership to the vision of development. Currently implemented in 11 blocks of Uttar Pradesh,
HCL Samuday is operational in 1299 villages from 287 Gram Panchayats, comprising more than 165,000 households
