Gramputra Jaivik Sheti Mission Farmer Producer Company Limited

Gramputra Jaivik Sheti Mission Farmer Producer Company Limited is run out of the home of Mr. Narayan Devraoji Sarode. We are located at Khaparwada, which is near the Durgwada Center in Murtizapur. It’s a very local setup. Since we are in a village, we don't have a formal office building. We just use a part of the house to keep our files and hold our meetings. It feels more like a community gathering than a business meeting most of the time. We focus on organic farming, which is what "Jaivik Sheti" means. It’s a lot of work because you can't just use the easy chemicals. We have to be more careful. Murtizapur is our main hub for getting supplies. The road to Khaparwada can be a bit bumpy. We spend a lot of time visiting the different farms to see how things are growing. It’s a lot of walking and talking. We don't have any company cars or anything. We just use our own bikes. Sometimes the rains make it hard to get around and the mud gets everywhere. We are just a group of people who want to do things a bit differently. It’s not always profitable right away, and we have had some tough seasons. But we stick together. Mr. Sarode’s place is always open if someone needs to talk about the company. We just take things as they come. Sometimes the goats from next door wander into the yard while we are working.
