Ekomkar Women Farmer Producer Company Limited

Ekomkar Women Farmer Producer Company Limited is based at House No. 19 in Village Fatehgarh Viran. This is part of the Chamkaur Sahib block in Rupnagar. We are a collective of women who decided to pool our resources and farm as a group. It’s not always easy to get things organized when everyone has so much going on at home, but we make it work. We grow what the land allows and try to find the best way to get it to market. The village is a quiet place, but we keep ourselves busy with the fields and the paperwork that comes with running a company. We don't have a big staff or a corporate building, just our homes and the land. It’s a lot of manual labor, from sowing to harvesting. We help each other out when someone is falling behind or when the weather turns bad. Rupnagar is a beautiful area, but the farming life is tough. We didn't start this for any grand reason, just to have a bit more security and to work for ourselves. Most of our time is spent outdoors or sitting together figuring out the expenses. It’s an honest way to live. We are just a group of local women trying to do our best with what we have. It’s not perfect, but it’s ours and we are proud of the work we do. Every day is a learning experience for us all as we grow together.
