    Rural Development and Sustainability Assessment: A Comprehensive Study of CSPC Initiatives in Rajula
    (MICA, 2023) Dhawan, Arshia; Mankodi, Bharg; Noronha, Pierre; Gugliani, Prakriti; Ravi, Rama; Sanghvi, Saloni
    CSPC acts as an essential channel for sharing knowledge about agricultural strategies that are suited to the particular requirements of coastal agriculture. By keeping lines of communication open, CSPC can make sure that farmers have access to the most recent information and resources. To make well-informed decisions in agriculture, timely updates on weather patterns, soil conditions, and best practices can be communicated more efficiently. Furthermore, through increasing mutual trust and understanding, better communication between CSPC and the farming community can promote a cooperative approach to sustainable farming practices. In the end, a cohesive CSPC improves coastal agriculture's resilience, protecting livelihoods and guaranteeing the region's water security.
