Ugna Farmers Producer Company Limited

Our base of operations is at Nikhil Chandra’s house in the village of Garhsisai. We are tucked away in the Garhsisai Tola within the Vidyapatinagar block. It is a small setup but it serves the purpose for what we are trying to do. We are mostly focused on helping the farmers in our village get their produce to the market without getting cheated by middlemen. We know how hard the work is because we are out there in the fields ourselves most of the time. The company is just a way for us to have a bit of a voice in how things are run around here. We don't have any fancy brochures or big advertisements. Most people hear about us through word of mouth while they are working their land or at the local tea shop. We keep our records in some old ledgers and try to make sure everyone gets their fair share of the profit. It is not always perfect and sometimes we make mistakes with the paperwork but we always try to make it right. Life in Garhsisai moves at its own pace and we try to keep up with the seasons as they come. We are just a group of local people trying to make a decent living off the land. It’s practical work and it doesn’t need much more explanation than that for the people in Vidyapatinagar.
