Kodagu:
It is said that we can achieve anything if we have determination and nothing can hinder our growth. You don’t have to go somewhere, you don’t have to study a degree to achieve such an achievement. No need for money. Even so, the women of Makkandur village of Kodagu district have shown that success story can be done! Not only that. The CEO of Kodagu Zilla Panchayat has also made a fuss. This is the story of rural women who never dreamed of promotion (Kodagu Success Story) who suddenly became famous!
Holy Women Shakti Sangh
Yes, the women who were home, doing their house work, garden work had formed the Holy Women Shakti Sangh a few years ago. Leelavati, who was a member of the same association, was selected as the agricultural sakhi of Makkandur Sanjeevini Union.
In-workshop training
Under the Mahatma Gandhi National Employment Guarantee Scheme, a training workshop was given to the selected G.P. Sanjeevini Unions in Watekadu Ilakha Planta Kshetra Social Forest Zone of Hoddur G.P. in collaboration with Horticulture and Forestry Department. Makkandur Sanjeevini Union’s Krishi Sakhi Leelavati also participated in the workshop. Practically got information about making nursery.
Nursery Planning
Later, a group of nature producers was formed by Makkandur Gram Panchayat. A total of 12 members, including 8 members from Pavitra Stri Shakti Sangha and 4 members from other Sangha, proceeded to the nursery work.
Appreciation for women’s achievements
Thus the central government’s NRML scheme to promote women’s empowerment and economic empowerment is progressing successfully in Kodagu. G.P.M.CEO Bhamwar Singh Meena, who personally visited the place, expressed his appreciation for the women’s achievements. He promised to provide all kinds of cooperation and stood in support of the development of the first nursery in the district.

Variety Plant Nursery
Nut, 3 types of coffee, kachampuli, lemon, butter fruit and black pepper plants have been planted in the nursery. There are already about 15 thousand plants and in the near future there is a plan to make a nursery for cardamom and various fruit plants.
A good plant
In addition, Leelavati’s half acre land was taken on lease through a group of producers and a nursery was made in that place. Plant nutrition is done by mixing good quality soil, sand, organic manure, sowing seeds of good variety, planting vines, providing water, spraying medicine.
70 thousand spent so far
In the beginning, the women paid for the facilities of the nursery at their own expense, and recently an installment of money has come. 70 thousand has been spent so far including salary.
Everyone has cooperated in this work of women and they are eager to develop the nursery further. Soon Makkandur Gram Panchayat is ready to sell plants at a discount price.
The women in the group will also be paid by the government.
The road to self-reliance
All the members are actively involved in the work activities and contribute to the achievement of the association. The Sanjeevini Union was started in order to show the path of self-reliance to the women of the village, and the women of Makkandur village have benefited from it.
Necessary loan facility is also available from the association. Rural women have shown that if you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything. This is the first nursery in Kodagu district and recognized at the state level as well. Apart from benefiting from the central government scheme, she is also a role model for other women.
