Patheja Chair in World Religions and Ethics and Valparaiso University associate professor of theology and international studies. Through this exhibition, Professor Pati shares the fruits of his research conducted during his recent sabbatical and in addition provides valuable insights into sacred objects, sites, and practices in India. Professor Pati’s photographs document specific places but also reflect a creative eye at work; as an artist, his documents are also celebrations of the particular spaces that inspire him and capture his imagination. Accompanying the images in the exhibition are beautiful textiles and objects of metalware that transform the gallery into its own sacred space, with respectful and reverent viewing becoming its own ritual that could lead to a fuller understanding of the concepts Pati brings to our attention. Professor Pati and the Brauer staff wish to thank the Surjit S. Patheja Chair in World Religions and Ethics and the Partners for the Brauer Museum of Art for support of this exhibition. In addition, we wish to thank Gretchen Buggeln and David Morgan for the insights and perspectives they provide in their responses to Pati's essay and photographs.

Proposed DFC Loan $10,000,000 All-Source Funding Total $19,280,000 Policy Review U.S. Economic Impact No Analysis Required. Developmental Objectives This Project is expected to have a highly developmental impact through supporting the expansion of operations and facilities of a growing milk processor in India. India is the largest milk producer and consumer in the world. The production of milk is largely undertaken by smallholder farmers many of whom are women. The Project is expected to have significant developmental impacts through its inclusive and innovative business plan, which sources milk primarily from over 60000 low- income smallholder farmers in underdeveloped rural areas of India. Major challenges affecting the smallholder-farmer milk production include low genetic potential of Indian bovines, lack of nutritious and balanced feed composition, and inadequate veterinary services. The Project aims to overcome these challenges by supporting smallholder farmers with a technical assistance facility offering field extension agents, animal husbandry trainings, and a digital financial inclusion campaign. Environment and Social ENV Assessment: Assessment SCREENING: The Project has been reviewed against DFC’s categorical prohibitions and has been determined to be categorically eligible.
