About Project Sampad

Project Sampada is a structured agri-processing initiative promoted by Jai Jawan Jai Kisan Agriculture Society (JJJKAS) with the objective of creating replicable, quality-driven processing clusters for high-volume agricultural produce in Bihar.

The project has been conceived as a long-term institutional effort—not a short-term commercial venture—to strengthen farm-linked value chains, reduce post-harvest losses, and enable disciplined agri-entrepreneurship in the state.

The Context

Bihar is one of India’s leading producers of fruits and vegetables, yet a large proportion of its produce is sold in raw form, resulting in:

Project Sampada addresses this gap by establishing cluster-based processing ecosystems that combine infrastructure, skills, quality systems, and market linkages.

The Jjjkas Approach

Project Sampada follows a phased, conservative, and validation-first approach. Rather than immediately creating multiple independent units, the project begins with an operator-led cluster model, where in:

Processing infrastructure is owned and governed by JJJKAS
Operators (local youth and ex-servicemen) are engaged under structured, performance-linked arrangements
Quality control, compliance, and financial discipline are centrally managed
Skills and confidence are built before independent entrepreneurship is encouraged

This approach ensures operational stability, quality assurance, and risk mitigation during the formative stages.

Step Phase – Building The Foundation

The current focus of Project Sampada is its STEP Phase (Structured Transition for Export-ready Processing).

This phase is designed to:

Validate technical and commercial viability
Establish Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
Implement food safety and compliance systems
Train operator teams through hands-on operations
Build institutional confidence among buyers and partners

The STEP Phase focuses initially on tomato and banana processing, two crops with strong production bases and processing demand in Bihar.

Cluster-based Development

Project Sampada is anchored in industrial cluster development, beginning with BIADA industrial areas (starting with BIADA Bihta, subject to approvals and allotments).

The cluster approach enables:

Over time, successful operators may graduate to establish independent units within the cluster ecosystem.

Values-aligned Collaboration

Project Sampada is guided by the belief that economic development must be value-based and inclusive. The initiative draws inspiration from the ethos of The Art of Living (AOL) ecosystem—particularly its emphasis on:

JJJKAS intends to nurture a long-term, values-aligned collaboration with AOL as the project demonstrates operational traction and maturity.

Funding & Governance Philosophy

Project Sampada follows a responsible funding philosophy:

Phased capital deployment
Preference for CSR and philanthropic support during validation stages
Transparent accounting and statutory compliance
Independent audits and reporting
No premature scaling or excessive leverage

Governance is structured to ensure credibility, accountability, and long-term sustainability.

The Promoting Organization – Jjjkas

Jai Jawan Jai Kisan Agriculture Society (JJJKAS) is a not-for-profit organization working at the intersection of:

JJJKAS acts as the institutional backbone of Project Sampada—providing governance, operational oversight, and continuity beyond individual units or locations.

Our Long-term Vision

Project Sampada envisions:

A network of professionally governed agri-processing clusters across Bihar
Hundreds of trained operators and entrepreneurs
Stable, value-added markets for farmers
Reduced wastage and improved price realization
Bihar emerging as a credible hub for processed agricultural products

Growth will be steady, disciplined, and evidence-led.
