Prakashi Devi Farmer Producer Company Limited

We set up Prakashi Devi Farmer Producer Company Limited because farming alone in Badvaminivethana was getting a bit complicated for most of us. You can find us over at Ranveer Singh’s place here in the village. It is not some big office with glass windows or anything like that. It is just a spot where we meet up to talk about the crops and how the season is going in Aligarh. Most of the people around here have been working the soil for generations, so we figured why not put our names together on paper. The address says 202002, and that is where we do our paperwork. Sometimes the rains are good and sometimes they are not, but being part of this group makes the bad days a little easier to handle. We handle seeds and try to figure out where to sell the harvest without getting a bad deal. It is hard work and the sun gets really hot in the summer months. Ranveer helps keep things organized so we don’t lose track of who brought what. We are not some big corporation from the city. We are just local folks from this part of Aligarh trying to make a living off the land. If you walk down the main path in Badvaminivethana, anyone can point you toward where we gather. It is simple living and we just keep at it day after day, hoping the crops turn out well for everyone in the group.
