Dear GlobalGiving Supporters,
Today, I would like to share a story of Jyoti.
Before 2023
Jyoti Shinde from Vaduz worked on her 3-acre farm and earned extra income by selling milk from a single cow.
2023–24
After attending an organic farming workshop from Business School, she was inspired to convert her land to organic cultivation. Her mentor introduced her to the interest-free Annasaheb Patil Scheme by the Maharashtra Government. Motivated, Jyoti decided to expand into dairy farming. With support from the Chamber, she secured necessary documents like Udyog Aadhaar and income certificate and applied for the loan with her mentor’s help.
2024–25
Though her membership ended, guidance continued. A loan of 8.95 lakhs was sanctioned, enabling her to build a cowshed, purchase a Kadbakutti fodder-cutting machine, and buy 10 lactating cows. Following her mentor’s advice, she uses cow dung as fertilizer and cultivates fodder (Kadba) along with other crops. She ensures timely vaccinations and insurance for her cows, fulfilling loan conditions.
2025 onwards
With an income of 40,000 per month, Jyoti is confident about repaying her 7,000 biannual EMI. Encouraged by her progress, she is determined to expand her dairy enterprise further.
Thank you so much to all Mann Deshi Foundations supporters!!!
