Shree Atma Nirbhar Adivasi Mahila Khedut Utpadak Producer Company Limited

Shree Atma Nirbhar Adivasi Mahila Khedut Utpadak Producer Company Limited is run out of the Waghai cluster office. You can find us at Ajaybhai Surti’s house, which is right across from the ICDS office. It's a place where the local tribal women come together to figure out their farming work. Since it is a house, it feels more like a community spot than a corporate office. There is usually a lot of talking and planning going on when everyone gathers here. We focus on the things the women are growing in the fields around Waghai. It’s not always easy, but having this central spot helps us stay organized. The office is simple and gets the job done. We spend a lot of time on the phone or meeting in the front room to discuss the next steps for the harvest. Being near the ICDS office makes it a landmark most people know. We deal with all the practical parts of being a producer company, like paperwork and making sure the crops are accounted for. It's a grassroots kind of thing, started by people who actually live here and work the land. We don't use big words or have fancy presentations. We just sit down, look at what we have, and try to make things work for the women in the group. It is honest work and we take it one day at a time. The local rains usually dictate our schedule more than anything else does. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we just sit outside and talk instead of doing computer work. It is part of life here in Waghai.
