    Our immersion report gives a deep insight into the various economic and operational efficiency dimensions of one of the most significant initiatives taken by the Gujarat Livelihood Promotion Company (GLPC) at Navsari, Gujarat, namely the Community Hire Centers (CHCs). The CHCs have been thought as one of the leading tools to empower rural farmers by providing them with essential farm machinery and equipment, which are further helping them to introduce modern farming methodologies and significantly improve their agricultural productivity. Estimation of the economic benefits and effectiveness of CHCs in terms of such factors as costs pertaining to the use of CHC services, role of Self-Help Groups in its management, the performance of the Agriculture Equipment Provider Scheme, among other things, and the potential feasibility of replicating a model of successful CHCs.Introducing CHCs has led to significant improvements in farm productivity and economic outcomes for small and marginal farmers. CHC services reduce costs associated with machinery ownership, labor, fuel, and maintenance. Additionally, farmers report an increase in crop yields after adopting CHC services, along with a substantial rise in income. Self-Help Groups (SHGs) have played a pivotal role in managing CHCs, offering a community-driven alternative to private or shared community machinery models. SHG-managed CHCs provide affordable, reliable, and efficient services, emphasizing regular equipment maintenance and quick turnaround times. These centers have been particularly beneficial in rural areas, promoting social inclusion and economic empowerment, especially for women .

This effort also raises money for RA patients. The objective is to create an emotionally engaging RA awareness campaign based on personal experiences and insights to improve understanding, diagnosis, and support for those impacted by RA.
