Farmer producer companies : past, present and future

Eighty-seven percent of agricultural households in India are small and marginal producers, cultivating small plots which generate low returns. Their average monthly income is Rs 6426, making farming on small plots economically unviable (NSSO 2014). Therefore, policy makers and practitioners are turning to producer collectives as a means for improving the economic situation of small producers

Theoretical Examination of Transfer Cavities in a Standing-Wave Free- Electron Laser Two-Beam Accelerator

Recent analysis of the Two-Beam Accelerator (TBA) by Wurtele, Whittum and Sessler has shown that the transfer cavities, both in the relativistic klystron version (RK/TBA) and the standing-wave free-electron laser version (SWFEL/TBA), can be characterized by a simple coupling impedance. In the two cases the radiation process is very similar: Only the modes that couple to the electron beam are different. As a result, computer programs that are able to handle realistic cavities (with beam ports and coupling ports, etc.) can be employed to evaluate the performance of either version of the TBA. We have employed the code URMEL to study the proper coupling impedance for a number of realistic cavities for a SWFEL

Farmer producer companies report II: inclusion, capitalisation and incubation

This report examines the changes in the producer company landscape in the last two years by analysing data on producer companies registered in the country from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2021. The report examines changes in geographical spread and capitalization of producer companies in the last two years, in order to determine the extent to which the gaps in the previous promotion efforts have been addressed. It also analyses recent policies to understand their impact on the producer company ecosystem. The report identifies five focus areas to enable the sector to reach its full potential in enhancing the incomes and reducing the vulnerabilities of small producers
