KRIBHCO has, over the years, benefited millions of farmers across the country through fertiliser supply, agricultural advisory services, and farmer-centric initiatives.
The national conference being organised in Panchkula will prove to be an important step towards providing a new direction to the cooperative movement under the International Year of Cooperatives -- 2025.
