Education is not just about degrees

Haatnow aims to provide relevant and practical education. Education that make them more equipped to face the real world challanges of existance and growth

Improving the Supply Chain

Sellers need to improve the way they operate their business.The Increased penetration of information has lead to higher level of expectations among various stakeholders of the supply chain and particularly the buyer. Sticking to the same old methods of supply is not sustainable. Modernisation is required in the way buyers are engaged and products are delivered.

Environment Friendly Practices

The care and sensitivity for environment is the basis of sustainable rural ecosystem. Improvements in practices for increased efficiency should not come at the cost of degradation or disregard for the nature.  e.g burning of stubble is an easy way out to get rid of old crop residue, but it leads to progressive degradation of soil quality and pollution of the air.  Education is also about adopting ways to ensure that practices lead to improvement of surroundings and nature and not otherwise.

Knowledge is Power!

There are many schemes, policies and framework by the Government that are useful to the producers. Schemes exists for providing finance, insurance, weather forecasts, pricing etc which  producers can use to improve the standards of farming practices. Various researched practices of crop disease preventions also exists that can minimise losses. HaatNow! also aims to dessiminate such knowledge to the producers.

Social Advancement

Many parts of rural India is also prone to social evils and beliefs that has taken the form of culture. Be it discrimination against girl childs towards acquiring education, infanticide of girl childs, addictions to alcohol or tobacco, or be it beliefs in sorcery for curing diseases. Education is required to create an improved outlook in the minds of people that is based on correct facts and principles.
