Husband- Rama Jhodia

Block/Village – Kashipur

District- Rayagada

Number of family members: 6 Person

Mrs. Rukuna Jhodia, despite her age she has a keen interest in farming. Her children are living separately, both husband and wife believes in an ancient farmer’s code by which farmers should live in their farm, hence both of them live at the end of the village near their farm.

She came across with a small gathering where, Agragamee Staffs were talking about the Millet Mission in her village, by hearing this, Mrs. Rukuna Jhodia was listed as a Millet Mission farmer in the project of Odisha Millet Mission in her own land and was listed as a Millet Mission farmer and cultivated Ragi as SMI on her 0.5 acres of land in January 2020.

Mrs. Rukuna Jhodia and her husband Rama Jhodia claimed that their Ragi production on the respective land were approximately 4 quintals. They kept what they need and sold rest of the production what this half-acre plot of land had offer to them, also they bought some new clothes and necessities with that money.

She now realises that Ragi cultivation is a lucrative crop. She even said that in this farming, all of our farming brothers and sisters will be able to produce more by using less effort through organic at a lower cost, by harvesting it and selling it to the government at a higher cost, to support our families.
