Pragatisheel Vandhan Limited

Our office is located in Panabaras village, which is part of the Mohla area in Rajnandgaon. It’s quite a distance from the main city, but we like it that way. We are a small group of people who started this company to handle local forest and farm products. In this part of Chattisgarh, we have a lot of natural resources, and we thought it was time we organized ourselves. Most of us grew up in these hills and know the trails well. We don't have any big marketing plans or fancy logos. We just gather what the season gives us and try to sell it for a decent price. It’s honest work that keeps us connected to the village and the people living here. Some days we are out in the woods, and other days we are sitting in the office in Panabaras dealing with the ledger books. It’s not always organized perfectly, but we get the job done. We’ve had to learn a lot about the business side of things as we go along. It's been a learning process for everyone involved, and we make some mistakes. We don't use complicated language to explain ourselves. We are just local people trying to make a living from what the land provides. It’s a slow life, but it’s a good one, and we are proud of being from this corner of the district. Every day we just try to do a bit better than yesterday.
