Resource Organizations (ROs)

Resource Organizations (ROs) are the critical pillar of the BRC ecosystem framework. These are agencies with relevant experience in Bio-Input Resource Centres (BRCs) and strong outreach in their respective regions.

Organizations such as civil society organizations, Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs), technical institutions, and experienced entrepreneurs can serve as ROs.

In addition to providing training and mentorship, ROs also act as regional anchors for the BRC ecosystem by facilitating coordination among BRCs, enabling knowledge exchange, supporting quality standards, and strengthening linkages with markets, institutions, and government programs.

What Resource Organizations (ROs) Do

• Support BRC Entrepreneurs: Provide technical guidance, mentoring, and handholding to new and existing BRC entrepreneurs.
• Host Capacity Building Programs: Organize trainings, demonstrations, and exposure visits using their technical, logistical, and human resources.
• Strengthen BRC Operations: Support quality assurance, standard operating practices, and problem-solving for functional BRCs.
• Enable Regional Coordination: Act as regional hubs to connect BRCs, Working Groups, experts, and institutions.
• Build Market & Institutional Linkages: Facilitate connections with markets, input supply chains, research institutions, and government programs.
