In a stride for agrarian innovation, Aloka Rani Mahato redefines sustainable farming.

JAMSHEDPUR – Breaking the society’s thinking towards women, Aloka Rani Mahato of Tamakpal village of Ghatshila block has emerged as a source of inspiration for women.

She started farming in the old way, but today she is earning profit by farming with new techniques.

To solve the problem of irrigation, solar powered pumpsets were given from Johar Project.

Garma Moong was cultivated in 1 acre and they are being made skilled by including them in technical training programs.

So that they can provide proper guidance to other nearby farmers also.

The DC of East Singhbhum Manjunath Bhajantri has lauded the efforts of Aloka Rani Mahato and the results that she has achieved with her hard work.
