Across 63 Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs) supported by the Department of Mission Shakti in the APC blocks, Annual General Meetings (AGMs) have brought members together to reflect on progress, discuss priorities, and plan for the year ahead.

The meetings provided a platform for farmers, Board members, and other stakeholders to review achievements, share perspectives, and take collective decisions. They also strengthened transparency, accountability, shareholder participation, and institutional governance, while encouraging greater involvement of members in the functioning of their FPCs.

Alongside these discussions, the AGMs also featured cultural events and award recognition, celebrating the participation and contributions of members. Through these platforms, women led institutions continue to strengthen their foundations.
