Ganjar Bio -Energy Farmer Producercompany Limited

Ganjar Bio -Energy Farmer Producercompany Limited is run by Maneesh Kumar, who is the son of Hari Charan Mishra. We are set up in the Shivpuri Isanagar area. It’s a local operation through and through. The whole idea behind the company was to take the bio energy concept and make it work for the farmers right here in our village. We don't have a big corporate headquarters; we mostly work out of the spaces we’ve always used. It’s a lot of talking to neighbors and trying to convince them that the waste from their fields can actually be worth something. Shivpuri is a quiet place for the most part, but we stay busy trying to figure out the logistics of collecting and processing materials. Maneesh spends a lot of time on his feet, either out in the fields or dealing with the administrative side of things which can be a real pain. We have to deal with the local weather, the state of the roads, and the fact that machinery always seems to break down when you need it most. It’s not a glamorous job. There’s a lot of dust and manual labor involved in everything we do. We aren’t trying to be the biggest company in India, we just want to make this bio energy thing work for the people in our own community so they can have a little extra security. It’s just practical, local business that keeps us occupied.
