Vijaypurna Mahila Farmer Producer Company Limited

Vijaypurna Mahila Farmer Producer Company Limited. Karanja, Wardha. This is a women-led farmer producer company based in Karanja, Wardha. Meetings happen in a room at Shri Satish Hade’s house on the main road. Wardha is a place with a lot of history, and we wanted to start something that specifically helps the women who work on the farms here. Often, women do most of the work but don't have much say in the selling part. Our group is changing that. We gather together to talk about the crops, mostly cotton and soyabean which are big here. It’s not just about the money; having a place where we can share our problems is important too. The office is small, just enough for a few chairs and the registration papers. Running a company properly is something we are still learning. There are many forms to fill out and taxes to understand. Sometimes it feels overwhelming. But having each other makes it easier. Discussions about the seeds we use and how to get better yields without spending too much on chemicals happen weekly. It’s a very down-to-earth operation. Big words or corporate strategies aren't used here. Making sure our hard work in the fields pays off for our homes and children is the focus. Being independent and strong as a group of women in our village is our reality. A website doesn't exist for us yet. Hard work is all we have.
