Bidichung Farmer Producer Company Limited

In the small village of Gojapara, you will find the main office for Bidichung Farmer Producer Company Limited. We are staying at Purandhar Rabha’s house, which is in the Dwarka area under the Lakhipur police station. It is a very rural setting, far away from the city noise. To get here, you have to travel through some narrow roads that wind through the trees. Purandhar is a local man who offered his space so we could have a place to meet. The office is basically just a room with a concrete floor and a few benches. We have a big map of the local area pinned to the wall. Most days, someone is here to handle the paperwork, but we are often out visiting the different farms in Lakhipur. The village is quiet and everyone knows each other’s business. We drink a lot of water because it gets very stuffy inside during the afternoon. There is a large tree outside where we sometimes sit if the office gets too hot. We don't have a computer yet, so everything is written down in large register books. It is a bit old-fashioned, but it works for us. The post office at Dwarka handles our mail, though it takes a while for things to arrive. We are just a group of people trying to make things work in Gojapara. It is a humble place, but we have enough space to do what is necessary for our members.
