Pench Ajivika Mahila Farms Producer Company Limited

We are located at the BRC Building within the Janpad Panchayat. This is where the Pench Ajivika Mahila Farms Producer Company Limited runs things. It is not a very fancy place, honestly. We share space near the Block Manager’s office, which is part of the MP Day SRLM program. A lot of us women from the Pench area come here to figure out our farming work. We usually have a lot of paperwork spread out on the old wooden tables. Sometimes the fans don't work and it gets quite hot in the afternoon. We started this because we wanted to have a bit more control over what happens with our crops. It is mostly grain and some vegetables that the women grow in their small plots. We talk about seeds and how to get a better price at the market. It’s a lot of back and forth between the village and this office. You might see us sitting on the benches outside waiting for a meeting to start. We are just local people trying to make a living. It’s not like those big companies in the cities. We know each other's families and the problems we face in the fields. The Block Manager helps when they can, but mostly it's just us figuring it out day by day. We don’t have any fancy posters on the walls, just some maps and lists of names. It feels like a real community effort here.
