Erjik: How Smart Sakhi is Transforming Women’s Lives Through Group Farming

What is Erjik (Group Farming)?

Erjik, or group farming, is a powerful concept where farmers — especially women — come together to cultivate the land collectively. Instead of working in isolation, they share resources, labor, and knowledge. This approach not only increases productivity but also builds a sense of unity and financial stability.

At Smart Sakhi, Erjik is more than farming — it’s a movement to empower women and create sustainable, organic food systems.

🌸 How Smart Sakhi Handles Erjik

1.    Collective Power of Women: Women from rural communities join hands to farm together. With shared responsibilities, no woman feels alone in her struggle.

2.    Training & Skill Development: Smart Sakhi provides workshops on organic farming methods, soil health, crop rotation, and sustainable practices so women can farm smarter, not harder.

3.    Farm-to-Jar Model: The crops — turmeric, jaggery, pulses, and more — are harvested collectively, processed naturally, and transformed into products like A2 Ghee, turmeric powder, and organic staples.

4.    Fair Wages & Independence: Every woman involved in Erjik farming earns a fair income. This income directly supports her household, children’s education, and her dignity.

5.    Community Support: Group farming builds trust, cooperation, and a strong support network among women — making them independent, confident, and future-ready.
