Atmanirbhar Indira Farmers Producer Company Limited

Our setup is located in Indira village, right in the Hatiya post office area. Sukumar Mondal is the one who looks after things here at his place. We are a group of farmers from this specific part of the region. Many of us grew up watching our fathers and grandfathers work these same fields. The company is a way for us to stay independent, which is why we have Atmanirbhar in the name. It basically means we are trying to stand on our own feet. We deal with whatever crops are in season. The work is steady but never really finished. There is always a fence to fix or a field to prep. We meet up at the house to discuss who needs what and how the harvests are looking. It is a very local operation. We are not trying to be some big corporation; we just want our local farmers to have a better chance. Sometimes we struggle with the rain or the heat, but that is just how it is here. You can find us in Indira easily enough if you ask around for Sukumar’s place. It is a quiet village where everyone knows everyone. We take things one day at a time and try to make sure we are doing right by our members. There is no secret to it, just a lot of patience and physical work. We usually have tea together while we figure out the monthly plans.
