From singlehandedly managing the agricultural activities along with household chores to work in Anganwadi center, Mrs. Sindhu Surira has seen the struggles whilst earning a livelihood and providing for her family. She used to be among those women whose day starts before sunrise and  continues after sunset. These are the  women farmers of India, whose contribution and hard work often go unnoticed. To establish an identity of their own they  face enormous challenges in a patriarchal society. We need to understand this, if we talk about a progressive nation, recognizing women’s contribution is crucial.

 

Now as the chairperson of the cooperative society named VISHWANATH GHATI MADHUMAKHI PALAN SWAYATT SAHKARITA, Mrs. Sindhu Surira envision a better quality of life for more than 300 farmers associated with the society through a business of SUSTAINABLE BEEKEEPING.
