The 'MFOI VVIF Kisan Bharat Yatra', powered by Jain Irrigation System Ltd., is progressively weaving through the heartlands of India.

Celebrating the Unsung Heroes of Agriculture

The 'MFOI VVIF Kisan Bharat Yatra' is not just a journey across the geographical expanse of India; it's a mission to celebrate and recognize the unsung heroes of agriculture.
