This is a new avenue for us and there is a lot to
learn and achieve.As a group we have not realized any tangible gain as presently we are at a nascent stage.
We have to give extra effort amidst all our personal engagement to make it a success.

Forming Producer Group had been convenient for us. Earlier, we used to carry our produce individually to Narayanpatna and sell it at Rs. 18/- per kg plus it incurred us other expenses like transportation cost and buying some consumables. Now, with no extra expenses incurred we have a considerable amount at hand.

Since its inception, NAWO has been actively engaged in promoting human development. Initially, it focused on organizational and awareness programs addressing women's issues, violence, and rights. Over time, its efforts expanded to emphasize gender inequality, gender-based violence, and the protection of women's rights. Recognizing that members of the LGBTQ+ community, including transgender individuals, also face significant challenges and are often denied dignity within the social system, NAWO acknowledged their right to live with respect and equality. This understanding drives the commitment to work towards a more justice and inclusive society for all genders.

Earlier we had no idea of market, whatever price the trader used to quote, we sold our products in same price.
Now, we are learning to do business. Now, we don’t get cheated and check weighing process as well as negotiate price.
We are also trying.

The Feminist Leadership Training on Gender, Development, and Human Rights, organized by NAWO, was my first exposure to a platform where brilliant minds came together to discuss the profound impact of gender on every aspect of our lives. As a development professional, I found it both inspiring and enriching to be part of this program. It equipped me with valuable skills to analyze gender roles, understand their effects, and apply these learnings in my field of work.
