CSR activities:
Farmer ProgrammeOur charity does not stop at Red & White Bravery Awards, there’s more; there’s always more to do.The Company realized that there is no better way to ensure that the industry flourishes by helping the people who are at the very heart of it, the tobacco farmers.
Godfrey Phillips helps create awareness amongst the farming community about the benefits of adopting approved agricultural practices. Infact, it imparts training and knowledge to farmers in tobacco producing areas of northern light soils, southern light soils, Karnataka light soils & light soils of Dharwar Burley, ensuring the transfer of technology from lab to land. By taking their problems back to the lab to look for ideal solutions, Godfrey Phillips helps produce tobacco leaves that are comparable to the best in the world.They are supplied healthy seeding at the right time. To make technical know how available to all farmers, Godfrey Phillips is involved with them at every stage, making their farms and lives better. It was satisfying to see the fruits of your own labour, as the demonstration plot started yielding over 50% more tobacco through improved farm practices. This has created real interest amongst the tobacco farmers, who now want to use these methodologies to achieve higher productivity and higher realisation of their produce
To further encourage them, we have instituted the Best Growers Award in 1994-95, to facilitate farmers in achieving higher yields and realising higher returns on their investment.
