PJRB SPARCA Message From
Our Founder
In villages, many younger generation youth are unwilling to take up farming as a profession since they believe that agriculture is not profitable. The root cause – lack of water and information, access or the ability to adopt water efficient, resource efficient, high income generating methods of farming.

What We Do
Education & Training
To spread awareness and knowledge about water and resource conserving, yet profitable agriculture, we offer a bouquet of knowledge enhancement options such as certificate courses, short term training and community outreach programs. The topics are designed to help trainees avail of the opportunities in the current markets.
Research and Policy Think Tanks
To support information based decision making, particularly by policy makers, we conduct research, consultations, conferences and expert think tanks. Inputs from experts, our ground-level interventions and all relevant stakeholders are compiled to give a 360 degree view of agriculture related issues in India.
Innovation & Entrepreneurship Support
The immensity of the food and water crisis requires out of the box ideas that bring about transformative change. These ideas when implemented by social enterprises, scale up impact and make the change sustainable. Through Living Learning Laboratory programs and Incubation, we offer support to innovators and entrepreneurs working for efficient, profitable, resource conserving agriculture. We have partnered with our sister organization – FORCE Institute of Social Innovation (FISI) for this service.
Certification & Advisory Services
We offer ‘BforWater‘ Certification for farm output & agro-products created through processes that minimize wasteful use of water. The certificate for a product is also a de-facto assurance of low chemical fertilizer & pesticide use in growing that product. We also train BforWater surveyors in the certification process & BforWater advisors for guiding farmers for water efficient farming. Our panel of experts guide and support farmers, professionals & entrepreneurs make the transition towards Profitable, Resource Efficient agriculture.
