HOW VTE DEVELOP VILLAGE? IS IT REALLY POSSIBLE?
There are so many, many boundaries for every half a acre or acre. These boundaries would be removed. These removals of boundaries will give at least 10% more output in the crop.
VTE will get a big Image like a Reliance Company or HLL or like a small company since it become big organization for the village. VTE holding a village for its own forever. Village Management can go for different kinds of crops, vegetables, fruits, mango & lime gardens and whatever it is which will give good return on the investment and make more profits for the raising of living standards of village people.
VTE get all kinds of loans from government, banks and financial institutions. VTE can also get subsidies and grants & tax reliefs from banks and government. VTE get seeds, fertilizers without payment before the crop and they will be paid after crop sold. It is not a individual farmer and it is a big giant company or enterprise. VTE can construct godown to stock the crops for geeting good price for selling in later date.
VTE will pay to farmers after the crops sold like what they are getting earlier and VTE is for getting more outputs from the best practices, technologies, adoptions of technical inputs, marketing tie ups.
VTE would pay interest for the investment to government for the investment and some amount will be put in Reserve for future payments. VTE will get more investment from government or loans from banks if they are really working well. This means VTE is doing well for the welfare of the farmers and making profits for the development of village.
VTE will not do in a normal way like as it is and it will adopt best management practices, adopting technical inputs, expertise before starting seeds to get more output of crops in the land. It is like commercial enterprise and always think of getting more profits and outputs from the existing land. Adopting technologies, good seeds, good practices, using fertilizers, cutting loses in operations, minimizing risk from calamities by insuring the crop, etc.
VTE may establish its own Farmer Bazaars, Shops for the selling of crops, outputs. They can have tie-ups with existing Bazaars for getting better price for the products by removing mediator and agents.
After making more crops, VTE gets more profits from first year itself. 60% of profits are reinvested for livelihood technologies for village people mainly for raising the standards of living in the village. Adopting small technologies making, papads, grading, cleaning vegetables, packing, pickles, fruits, masalas, powders, etc to make more profits and especially giving more wages to village people and creating more man days by involving different activities related village agricultural products. They can establish poultry, pig, fish, rabit farms for getting more profits and creating more working man days for the village people. More creation of working days will raise the living standards of village people. They need not go to towns for employment. This is mainly for raising the living standards of village people.
After making and adopting livelihoods technologies, in second part, community development technologies like construction of roads, water tanks, community halls, school buildings, bio-gas plants, check dams, canal repairs and many other community development related works. These works would be undertaken after raising living standards of village people.
In the third level, VTE will become a real Giant and raising its hand to start industries in the village itself for the future educated generations. VTE can create more employment for young and educated generations by establishing medium and large scale industries in the village by adopting most advanced technologies.
HOW VTE AND VILLAGE MANAGEMENT WORKS
For example, One village called “AMARAVATHI” started Amaravathi Village Technology Enterprise. Now Amaravathi VTE has taken whole village as commercial enterprise. At first instance, VTE has removed all boundaries among the agricultural fields which can give more outputs for the VTE. This removal of boundaries output itself can sufficient to pay the interest for investment by the Government. This village has 500 farmers and total population of 5000 people and 1000 acres of agricultural fields. There is no change in the private individual ownership.

FUTURE OF VILLAGE TECHNOLOGY ENTERPRISES
The future of VTE would be very bright and outputs from VTE will be definitely 25-50% more than the previous years. New technologies will be adopted for more outputs. VTE will share their profits with the local governments for the development of infrastructural facilities like roads, water tanks, water shed management, community constructions, etc. Village Panchayats will bid for the development of village like a Private Investor since they can have 100% profits for the development of village. Technology Manager would become Private Investor since they actually run the VTE business to get the profits for their own. If VTE is not successful, Government will go for 100% privatisation and It is continuous successful, Government can allow as a Public Limited Company to issue shares to public and go for big ventures like exports.
