This is Sankar Mahatho - the leader of our Farmer’s Group in Bajudih, Bokaro:
-video of Sankar talking about farming- Our farmers are determined to ensure a good harvest by working together as a community and using environmentally friendly agricultural practices.

Most of rural India earns a living through the informal sector, as migrant workers, daily wage workers or as agricultural labourers. With the lockdown, the loss of a source of income has hit those at the Bottom of the Pyramid the worst.

Several farmers have been unable to sell their produce at district/city markets, forcing them to feed their perishables to their livestock. While the agricultural sector has been exempted from the lockdown, farmers are lacking the physical resources (informal labour) to help them with the
harvest.
