Various initiatives by the Tata Trusts have helped empower rural women across the country

Monica Soy is a tribal farmer who lives in a Naxalite-affected region in Jharkhand. Seeking the opportunity to improve her children’s lives, Ms Soy became a part of the Trusts’ Lakhpati Kisan Initiative. She learnt scientifically validated practices to enhance agricultural productivity and began implementing them. Ms Soy soon began marketing soil-less saplings, along with her husband, which changed her fortune. She was able to expand her business, hire three women to help her and even enrolled her children in a good school.
