MaolKeki Foundation is pleased to announce the start of the third batch of Agri Entrepreneurship Development Program in Manipur!
Over the last few weeks, our team spoke to all the applicants to learn more about them, their motivations, commitment to the program, and future plans. The successful applicants then participated in demo sessions to familiarised themselves with the use of Zoom platform, iron out connectivity issues and troubleshoot any other issues before formal classes began.
Agri Entrepreneur Growth Foundation - AEGF led online training program started today, which will continue for the next 40 days. Following this, those who successfully complete the online training will participate in a week-long residential training program before the top ones are identified and provided grants to pilot their ideas and concepts.  
Anaha Trust plays an important role in kick starting this training program through their generous funding for the second time to support the Agri entrepreneur development program. We are also grateful to Sattva by managing the grant for proper implementation!
Dr. Shachi Gurumayum, trustee MaolKeki Foundation welcomed the participants and encouraged them to make the best use of this unique opportunity, during the launch event hosted by Ms. Shama Afrin from AEGF. He shared how the AE Development Program started with only nine participants from a few districts some years back and has grown to 50 participants today with trainees from across the state. He also highlighted to the participants how the learning journey will not always be easy and urged them to persist as the experience will be worth it. Mr. Surjeet Luwangcha, Master Trainer, Ms. Nirupa Sanjenbam, Head of Projects, and Ms. Themshingphi Konghay, Project Manager, also each welcomed the participants and assured them of their continuous support over the course of this learning journey.

The team is very proud of all the participants and wish them the very best!
