Leverage Small Capital, Grow Collective Livelihoods

We, the sisters of our group, have many ideas for how to secure our future. If we receive a small amount of financial capital, say 20,000 rupees, we can start so many ventures together. We talk about pig farming, poultry farming, and goat farming. We can also make bricks in the village to sell to housing beneficiaries or start a bamboo utensil business, even purchasing Mahua to support our community. Beyond new ventures, we are deeply committed to our traditional ways. We already practice zero-irrigation farming, which is crucial for our land, and we always conserve our indigenous seeds. This isn't just about food; it's about making sure our culture remains alive for future generations, so our tribe does not become extinct. By working together and combining our skills, a small financial push allows us to diversify our income, strengthen our food security, and ensure our traditions thrive. It's about building a strong, self-reliant village where everyone has basic facilities like education and health, moving towards a 'Viksit Bharat 2047'.
