UTMT SOCIETY

At UTMT Society, not only are we committed to improving the lives of marginal farmers, but also advancing sustainable community-based beekeeping with indigenous bees. Inspired by the first National Commission on Agriculture's (1976) recognition of the role of beekeeping in increasing agricultural productivity; we measure the impact of indigenous beekeeping on crop production. Through community outreach programs, advocacy and policy recommendations, UTMT Society reaches out to citizens and policy makers to ensure the well being of our farmers and our ecosystem through beekeeping... UTMT Society founded in 2009 is registered under the Societies Act and the Maharashtra Public Trust Act. UTMT Society promotes beekeeping with indigenous bees like "Apis cerana indica" and Trigona to increase agricultural productivity and enhance biodiversity, incomes and livelihoods of marginal farmers in India.
