IS IT TOO LATE TO REVIVE EMPOWERMSME ?

Dear SNS,

Following news report talks of a “ CSR initiative “ by tractor manufacturer TAFE , in the form of launch of a Mobile App

TAFE goes national with its tractor-sharing platform 

Extract :

Farmers who own small parcels of land across India can now hire modern farm equipment for their farm productivity needs.

Farmers looking to rent out their existing tractors and farm equipment are linked directly to farmers seeking to hire them at no extra cost.

‘Farmer-to-Farmer model’ (F2F) of JFarm Services app enables them to contact farmer entrepreneurs, negotiate rental prices and fulfil their requirements.

“The nationwide launch of JFarm Services as a CSR initiative is aligned to TAFE’s vision of cultivating the world and our commitment to the economic well-being of Indian farmers,” Mallika Srinivasan, Chairman & CEO – TAFE, said in a statement.

In developing www.EmpowerMSME.com  ,  we too , had a similar motivation , viz :

“ Enabling 50 million MSME to look up and download ( non secret ) documents , uploaded by the large Companies belonging to the organized sector and thereby empowering themselves with the knowledge / expertise developed by the donor companies over the decades “

Is it too late to revive this project of NATIONAL IMPORTANCE  ?

With regards,

hcp
