The paper provides an overview of the FPCs and their functioning, followed by an analysis of the marketing strategies adopted by them. The study also highlights the challenges faced by the FPCs in implementing these strategies and suggests measures to overcome them. The research is based on primary and secondary data collected from various sources such as FPCs, government reports, and academic literature.
