Khejri Mahila Producer Company Limited

This group, Khejri Mahila Producer Company Limited, is mostly women from around Khaidi Malik. We run things through the Gram Chetna Kendra. It’s a local spot where people meet and discuss village matters. The Khejri tree is really important to us here in Rajasthan, so that is why we picked that name for our company. It stands strong even in the desert, which is how we see ourselves. We are not some big city business with a lot of money. We are just local women working together to make a difference in our lives. Life in the village means you have a lot of chores, but we find time for this work too. We produce different things, maybe some farm goods or small crafts, depending on what the season allows. Working together gives us a bit of independence that we didn't have before. It's not always easy to manage everything, like the kids, the house, and then this business work. But we help each other out. If someone is busy with family, another sister steps in to help. We don’t have a polished office with desks. Our meetings usually happen at the Kendra. We talk about what to sell and how to make things work for everyone. It feels good to have something that belongs to us. We don't use big words. We just want to make sure our families are doing okay. It’s a very practical thing for us to be doing in Khaidi Malik.
