Overcoming poverty through Organic farming – Pramila Oraon

Mrs. Pramila was married at an age of 15 in a poor family. Her family has 7 members including 3 children. Although her family owns 1 acre of land, the produce is not adequate enough to meet her family round the year need. This situation compelled her husband to migrate to Assam to work as a labour in the tea garden to sustain his family. In order to produce more from this her land she applied chemical fertilizers and pesticides in her farm but to little avail.
