Bhopal. Sometimes such opportunities come in life which one never thought of. The same happened with Lakhpati Didi Sangeeta. Sangeeta got the opportunity to have a face-to-face conversation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Lakhpati Didi Sammelan held in Jalgaon (Maharashtra) on 25 August. This was an unforgettable moment of her life, which she will never forget.
Lakhpati Didi Sangeeta, a resident of Bicholi village of Ichhawar block of Sehore district, is very excited about the direct discussion with Prime Minister Shri Modi. She says that the Prime Minister came to know about our work, understood it and praised it. Sangeeta told the Prime Minister that the Government of India had started a scheme to prepare 10 thousand Farmer Producer Organizations (FPO) in the year 2021. Under this scheme, we formed the Atmanirbhar Mahila Farmer Producer Company in 2021 itself. In the very first year, more than a thousand farmer women joined our company. Everyone’s hard work paid off. The company did a business of 2 crore 48 lakh rupees in the first year itself. More than two thousand Kisan Didi have joined our company so far. Out of these, more than 1200 Didi have become Lakhpati Didi. The Prime Minister praised Sangeeta and her Farmer Company and congratulated them.
Sangeeta and all other Kisan Didi are very happy with the success of their Farmer Company. Her company is working on the purchase of wheat, soybean, maize and other grains as crop seed collection and output business. The company has done a business of 5 crore 43 lakh rupees (annual turnover value) so far. Due to the progress of her farmer group, Mrs. Sangeeta was invited to Jalgaon as a company representative in the Lakhpati Didi Sammelan. Sangeeta, who has been handling the business of Farmer Producer Company from a simple housewife, has now become a full-fledged business woman. She expresses her heartfelt gratitude to the women and farmer friendly Madhya Pradesh government and Ajeevika Mission for giving her the opportunity to talk to the Prime Minister.
