Surguja Women Farmers Bloom With Marigold Cultivation Under Bihan Scheme Support

In a heartening display of rural entrepreneurship, two women farmers from <b>Sakalo village</b> in Surguja, <b>Chanchal Singh</b> and <b>Chandni Mandal</b>, have successfully transitioned to commercial marigold farming. By leveraging the <b>Bihan scheme</b>, which provides essential financial support and loans to rural women, they have moved beyond traditional subsistence farming to create a sustainable source of income. This initiative highlights how targeted government assistance can empower local farmers to tap into high-demand festive markets. By diversifying their crops, these women are not only securing their own financial independence but also setting a practical example for others in the region to follow, proving that small-scale agricultural ventures can indeed flourish with the right institutional backing.
