Nuture's Urja

I always dreamed to work for our society, especially for women’s empowerment. I feel that it is a good idea to start this by involving villager women in food processing by providing and giving them technical training and support. It may help to boost their confidence and financial status. So I started to work with women of my village at first. By giving them technical training and support we made different types of apple products together. After this, I started to organize training camps under the banner of Nature’s Urja at different villages for self-help groups of women and Mahila mandals. I also conducted workshops on food processing with the agriculture department. So in this series, I trained approximately 500 to 600 women in food processing and the journey is still going on. After this, I started to give a platform to products and local produce for trained women under the banner of Natures Urja by organizing exhibitions on different occasions. In these exhibitions, they can present and sell their processed products, local and heritage produce (crops, grains), handicrafts, etc. and it is a great satisfaction for me when I see their smiley and confident faces.
