Chhayank Farmer Producer Company Limited

Working out of Nagla Garha in Burrakalan is a quiet experience. Mukesh Babu is the one who handles the daily activities here at the village level. It’s a small place, and most people around here know each other since childhood. We don't have a big corporate sign or a fancy lobby. Our office is just a room where we keep the registers and some samples of what the local farmers are growing. The road to get to Burrakalan can be a bit rough after the monsoon rains, so things sometimes slow down during that time. We focus on the farmers in our immediate area, helping them work together instead of everyone doing their own thing separately. It involves a lot of sitting around and talking through problems, often over a glass of water or some chai. We don't have any marketing brochures or big promises to make. We just handle the administrative side of the farmer producer company because someone has to do it. The records are mostly hand-written or kept on a basic laptop. It’s a bit messy sometimes, with papers piled up on the desk, but we know where everything is. We just want to keep things moving for the growers in Nagla Garha. It’s not a high-tech job, just a local necessity that we manage as best as we can with the tools we have available in the village. It is hard work but we are used to it.
