Farming, the new way to women empowerment

Forty women have initiated farming of Mentha (mint) in Shuklaphanta, Kanchanpur. Trained by Needs organization, they learnt the techniques of faming and divided themselves into seven groups called Boradahi . The women have managed to earn one lakh fifty six thousand in less than three months, by packaging the oil they produce from the crops. “Since I’ve begun working, I manage the house budget and also give an allowance to my husband, He provided for me before this”, said Bhotani Chaudhry.
