Agriculture Coordinator In The Sewa Trust At Ahmedabad

I work as the agriculture coordinator here, based out of Sontoshpur in the Howrah district. Even though the trust is linked to Ahmedabad, my actual day-to-day happens right here in the village. Most of my time is spent talking to people about their crops, the soil, and how the season is looking. My office is basically a small room near the post office, but honestly, I'm outside more than I am inside. The roads here get quite muddy during the monsoon, so getting around takes a bit of time on my old bicycle. I’ve lived in this part of West Bengal my whole life, so I know most of the families around Sontoshpur quite well. We don't have a lot of fancy equipment or a big staff. It's just me and a few others trying to keep things moving. Sometimes the paperwork piles up on my desk, and I have to spend a whole day just sorting through forms and reports. It isn't a high-tech operation at all. We rely on what we know about the land and the local weather patterns. People drop by without calling first, usually just to ask a quick question or share some news about their farm over a cup of tea. It’s a very informal way of working, but it fits the village life. I don't wear a uniform or anything like that. Just regular clothes and a pair of sturdy boots for walking through the fields. It’s honest work, and we just take it one day at a time here.
