Jaivik Krishi Vikas Producer Company Limited

Jaivik Krishi Vikas is based at number 28, right near the Tibetan Colony in Nai Basti. If you’re familiar with the Cement Town area of Dehradun, you’ll find us easily enough. We are a producer company that focuses on organic ways of growing things. "Jaivik" means organic, and that’s what we’re all about. We don’t like using all those chemicals that people put on their crops these days. It’s a bit more work to do things the old-fashioned way, but we think it’s better for the ground and the people eating the food. The office is in a pretty quiet part of the colony, though you can hear the bustle of the town nearby. We spend a lot of time talking to farmers about how to switch over to organic methods. It’s a big change for some of them, and we try to make it easier. We have stacks of bags and samples lying around the place. It’s not the cleanest office in Dehradun, but it’s a working one. We track our members and help them get their produce to people who actually want clean food. There’s a lot of paperwork involved with certifications, which is the boring part, but someone has to do it. We’re just a group of regular people trying to make the local agriculture a bit more natural and sustainable for the future.
