International Women’s Day 2022: Meet Foolmati, A Farmer Who Changed The Face Of Agriculture In Her State

. March 8, 2022

New Delhi: In Godbahra, a small village in Madhya Pradesh’s Singrauli District, the livelihood of the majority of people depends upon agriculture and farming. As farming was viable to earn livelihood only during the monsoons, especially due to the increased challenges posed by climate change, Godbahra farmers usually used to migrate to distant places and work as daily labor to earn wages. There were times when eating two meals a day seemed a luxury for them, and Foolmati Panika and her family’s life was no different.

Foolmati and her husband are farmers and have suffered from the same fate as their fellow villagers when she decided to enroll for an orientation workshop on Agriculture Entrepreneurship with the NGO PRADAN (Professional Assistance for Development Action), while she was pregnant with her second child.
