Profile of Krishi Janani’s Farmer-Member Network
As part of our occasional post on our network profile, here is what our network looked like at the end of 2017. And yes, it is April already. While on that topic, we are woefully short of staff on the communication side and are looking for a Marketing & Communication Associate. Know anyone who might be interested? Please send their resume over to info@krishijanani.org.
Here are the numbers and charts from Krishi Janani’s membership database as of Dec 31, 2017.

Member Stats
Given how delayed these numbers are, we are published the raw numbers without any additional analysis or editorializing. Except for one note re 2017 — Tamil Nadu was caught in a historic drought in 2017. We hope rain gods are kinder in 2018!
