Yashwardhani Mahila Farmer Producer Company Limited

Yashwardhani Mahila is our group here in Manrad, which is part of Shahada taluka. We operate out of Brijalal Murar Patil’s house at number 255/3. This area is known for being quite hot, especially in the summer months, which makes farming a real challenge. We are a group of women who decided to join forces to manage our farm produce better. It’s a local effort, and most of us have known each other since we were children. We meet at the house to go over the numbers and talk about which seeds we should buy for the next season. The office is really just a corner of the home where we keep a few ledgers and a mobile phone for business calls. It’s not very formal. You’ll usually hear the sound of cows nearby or tractors passing on the road while we work. We focus on the crops that grow well in the Shahada soil. There are days when the paperwork feels like too much, but we help each other through it. We don't use big words or have fancy titles. We are just farmers who happen to be women, trying to make sure our families have a steady future. It’s hard, honest work and we do it together as a team. Sometimes the rain fails us, but we still show up at the house to plan for next year.
