After finishing her household chores, a 37 years old Suman Rani from Hisar in Haryana is all set her hand at doing mechanized farming in the small landholdings of her in-laws. The mother of two kids is bringing change in the Khapland by way of ploughing the fields and driving tractor-trolley to
Grains market and supporting her in-laws in several other related farm activities. She is one of the rare cases in Haryana State which is dubious for its skewed sex ratio. Suman Rani, a graduate, is penning altogether a different story. Her husband is very supportive and helps her in assembling farm equipment for doing farm operations. In this kind of farm trade, she is for the last 10 years and is now well-trained in doing farm mechanization in the tiny land of her in-laws.
Additionally, she is also doing some social and cultural activities by ferrying other women of the village in her tractor-trolley to the temples and nearby villages to attend festivities and wedding ceremonies. Her helping hand to the family has given opportunities to her husband to venture out and tap additional source of income. This is how this “Tractor-Girl” is deriving the change in the khap region. She is the fit-case in whose situation this “Customs Hire-Purchase Services Project” can best be lodged. She is the potential sustainable Village Avocator we were looking for. This is also the way to provide self-employment to rural women and unemployed rural youths. The Philanthropists and Corporate Houses, therefore, should come forward to dispose of their Corporate Social Responsibilities in funding this kind of Projects. This is socially & economically a sustainable viable R&D Project.
