Gram Bharti Atmanirbhar Kisan Producer

Our little group is based out of Kamta’s place in Semri Baghrai. It is a typical rural spot where everyone knows their neighbor's business. We put this together because we wanted to be more self-reliant. The name says it all but we don't make a big deal out of it. We are just farmers who are tired of being the last ones to know what is happening with the prices. It is a humble setup. We meet under the shade or in the main room depending on how hot it is outside. There is always a lot of talk about the soil and which seeds are doing okay this year. We don't have any fancy equipment in the office, just the basics to keep track of who brought what and when the next truck is coming. People in Semri Baghrai work hard and we wanted a way to make that work count for more. It is not always easy and sometimes we disagree on things, but that is just how people are. We don't have any polished scripts to read. If you ask us what we do, we will probably just show you the fields or the bags of grain. We are just trying to stand on our own two feet without needing too much outside help. It is a slow process but we are getting there day by day. Most of us have been farming since we were kids.
