As a member of the Ponnamaravathy Kalanjia Jeevidam Farmers Producer Company Limited, my journey has been truly transformative. Through their support, I gained access to high-quality black gram seeds at an affordable rate, which made a huge difference in my snack production business. Earlier, I could only produce 15 Murukkus per kg of flour, but with the superior seeds provided by the FPO, I now produce 17 pieces per kg. This has significantly increased my profitability and confidence as an entrepreneur.

The support didn't stop there. The monthly grocery kits and knowledge-sharing sessions offered by the FPO have empowered me and many other women like me to pursue sustainable livelihoods. The savings of ₹20 per kg on seeds have eased our financial burden and motivated us to scale our businesses.

Thanks to PKJFPCL, I am not only earning better but also learning the value of collective action and entrepreneurship. I look forward to seeing this initiative grow and benefit more women in our community.
