Pragati Sparsh Agro Producer Company Limited

We are out here in Village Diyabali Khalsa, which is part of the Hasanpur Block. If you know Bijora, you know it is mostly fields and a few dusty tracks that get muddy when the monsoon finally hits. Pragati Sparsh Agro Producer Company Limited isn't some big operation with a glass building. We work out of the space provided by Omwati. It’s just a regular house where we keep our registers and talk about what the ground needs this year. Most mornings start with tea and a look at the sky to see if the clouds are moving in or if it is going to be another dry spell that makes the dirt hard as stone. People come by to discuss the crops or just to see what is happening with the paperwork. It is a slow process sometimes, dealing with the government forms and the reality of the harvest. We don't have fancy chairs or a lobby. There is just a table and some stools where the local farmers sit down to figure out how to get things from the fields to the market without losing too much money. Hasanpur has its own way of doing things, and we just follow that rhythm. The village is quiet except for the tractors and the birds. We spend a lot of time just waiting for the right moment to plant or sell. It’s not complicated, just hard work and a lot of patience in Bijora.
