Virangana Lakshmibai Mahila Kisan Producer Company Limited

Virangana Lakshmibai Mahila Kisan Producer Company Limited is focused on the women farmers here in Urra, in the Bahraich district. We are based at Abhimanyu's house, number 134. In our part of the world, women do a huge amount of the work on the farms, but we don't always get the credit or have a say in the money. So we started this company. It’s named after the Rani of Jhansi because we need that kind of strength to get things done. We are just local women who know how to plant, weed, and harvest. We handle the goats, the grain, and everything else that needs doing. Bahraich can be a tough place with the floods and the heat, but we've lived here forever and we know the land. We don't have any corporate training or fancy degrees. We just know how to work the soil and take care of our animals. We joined up so we could buy things like seeds in bulk and maybe get a better price when we finally go to sell. It's not a fancy operation at all. It’s mostly just us sitting together after the day's chores and cooking are done, talking about what we need for the next season. We want to make sure our hard work actually pays off for our families. We aren't looking for fame, just a bit of respect and a way to make ends meet through our farming. It's about looking after our own.
