Chandrashekharagro Farmer Producer Company Limited

Rajeev Kumar is our main contact person here in Risia, specifically in Brhsanti Nagar. This is where we run Chandrashekharagro. Nanpara is a place where agriculture is the main way of life for most people. We are just a collective of local farmers who wanted to have a better way to sell our produce. Dealing with the markets can be very frustrating when you are just one person. As a group, we have a little more strength. We don't have any fancy marketing budgets or anything like that. Most of our work is just physical labor out in the sun. We grow various crops and try to keep up with the changing seasons. The weather can be a real challenge around here, but we do our best. We don't have a big office building; we usually just meet up at Rajeev’s place or out by the fields to discuss what needs to be done. It’s a very practical way of working. We share our tools and our knowledge about the land. If someone has a problem with their tractor, there is always someone nearby who can help out. It feels a lot better than trying to do it all alone. Everyone brings something different to the table. We are just honest people trying to make a living from the ground. We don't need any corporate jargon. We just focus on the harvest and making sure our families are taken care of. That’s what matters most to us in Risia.
