Farmers from different villages across the state formed a self-help group called Swasraya Karshaka Samithi (SKS)

As a member, 25 farmers are responsible for the procurement and marketing of products.

Unlike several other trading sites in the country, no union is responsible for loading and unloading products from vehicles.
Farmers must do it themselves, or they can do it with their own labor.
At present, 600 farmers are members of SKS, and about 150 non-member farmers have also taken advantage of the benefits of SKS.
Traders are notified every day to inspect the products on site.
At present, there are no storage facilities for these products, mainly bananas and vegetables.

Selected in each samithi and trained to lead each group.
They lead farmers in the fields of production, credit and marketing.
Membership enables farmers to receive credit, training and technical advice from council staff, but the benefits have gone beyond aspects related to production.

\"The concept of group marketing has been developed with a focus on empowering farmers and facilitating more effective decision-making for their product marketing.
This helps farmers to have a lot of goods and thus be able to negotiate better with wholesalers to \"optimize their Returns \".
