About Basanta
Hailing from Jhargram, West Bengal, Basanta Mahata is an agricultural entrepreneur who has been trained and groomed to play a key role in his village’s agriculture extension program. Ever since the outbreak of the pandemic and the effective lockdowns, many small farmers in his village are finding it hard to access the essential seeds and fertilizers ahead of the sowing season. As a result, Basanta is seeking a lump sum of credit which he will distribute to the 250 farmers he is in charge of. The fund will enable the farmers to access quality agri inputs at their doorsteps to help them prepare for the sowing season. Invest in Basanta as he supports her community.
