Women-Led Initiatives Empower Rural Livelihoods and Agribusiness in Madhya Pradesh

In Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, women-led initiatives are transforming rural and agribusiness landscapes by empowering hundreds of women across multiple villages. The Gram Art Project in Pardasinga promotes sustainable farming, eco-sanitation, and community livelihoods through art residencies involving local materials. Separately, women like Haseena Bano and Surabhi have built agribusiness ventures, expanding from small groups to hundreds of members, addressing challenges such as fair pricing and market access for farmers.
