At 62, Chemiben Gamit chose to begin again.

Today, her farm is more vibrant, more productive, and full of life, transformed by the quiet work of pollinators. 🐝

With the beekeeping project supported by @DCBBank, her farm has revived, and future security has returned.

Pongal and Makar Sankranti are festivals of gratitude: for the sun, the soil, and most of all, the farmers who make every harvest possible.

At UTMT Society, we walk alongside these farmers, helping create sustainable livelihoods and healthier ecosystems.

withstand pests better and lower production costs. Combined with the pollination benefits from beekeeping, this is improving farm yields and building greater confidence among farmers. An example of how integrated, nature-based approaches can strengthen livelihoods at farm level.

🐝🌾 What started with beekeeping is now strengthening entire farming systems.

@DCBBank and Under The Mango Tree Society's work in Parasia block, Chhindwara district (Madhya Pradesh) is supporting a broader shift toward low-cost, natural farming among 100 project farmers.

[UTMT Society @SocietyUtmt]

Alongside managing bees, farmers are preparing their own organic inputs—improving soil health, strengthening crops, and reducing reliance on chemical inputs. Practices like seed treatment using beejamrit and on-farm vermicompost are helping crops grow healthier
