Replicating Amuls, Anand Pattern Cooperatives, required an ecosystem of institutions servicing: AMUL, later its state federation, GCMMF, and primary dairy cooperatives, unions and federations across the states, and national federation NCDFI; IRMA, now TSU, may be NDRIs, Indian Dairy Association, IDA; and Dairy Board, NDDB, its famous spearhead teams, its associate entities including IDC (which got merged into Dairy Board when it became an Institution of Excellence of Parliament, under NDDB 1987 Act), Mother Dairies, Indian Immunologicals, IDMC, HPCL, BVP etc. Dr Kurien as the vision champion lasted some 50 years in AMUL, GCMMF, NCDFI, Dairy Board and IRMA, and his second line leadership teams.

Going N-way – N farming, N living hand-in-hand – requires ecosystem(s), something similar. RySS, NMNF, NRLM, PMPRANAM et al; Self-help organizations of women – groups and federations, FPOs, SRLMs, Civil Society, Marketing Organizations, Partners et al; Data, Traceability, Certification, Digital Platforms et al; Academy, NF University, Other Universities, Research Organizations, NCNF et al. How do we build these disparate elements of ecosystem(s) into a coherent whole, loose, informal or otherwise? Who will be Sutradhaar(s)?
This ecosystem architecture needs a variety of support(s) or it needs to co-opt support organizations, teams, from within and without. These include: Model builders across farming situations, micro-nano farming situations; production-value-addition-consumption-nutrition local model builders, demonstrators; innovators, science explainers and researchers to the farming, consuming, and research community; module developers, makers, writers; campaigners, communicators, articulators, influencers, media, advocates; handholders, troubleshooters, on field, off-field, online participation, field-centric trainers and learning facilitators; data capturers, analysers, reporters, verifiers, tracers, certifiers, knowledge repositors, platform operators; value-chains players, enterprise supporters; monitoring-evaluation- assessment-learning teams; human, tech and financial resource-partner managers; vision-strategy-systems-scaling integrators; movement builders, evangelists, and so on. May include working with communities, civil society, research and learning establishments, bureaucracies, political systems too. On viral scale across. ~20 years to go.
Can we join in? Can we add more of us into this? Can we build, nurture, mentor, deploy, support leadership-management teams, generalist teams, and focussed teams around one or more of these aspects? From across AP, India, and outside. Can we source resources? Partners? Can we offer a rewarding tenure for the young girls and boys, professionals and community professionals?
Yes, we can. If we coexist, flowing. Embedded in N-eco-sys-architecture In N? krtiyoga for 7L.
