A while back, we put out a call for case studies/ stories of resilient women farmers/collectives across the country, who were dealing with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown in innovative and sustainable ways. The objective of this call was to collect stories of women engaged in agriculture, forestry, fisheries, livestock, wage labour or similar activities, in terms of the solutions they found to cope with this crisis and thereby, share the successes with others to adapt or modify.
We received nearly a hundred pitches from 12 states, including Arunachal Pradesh, Odisha, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Assam, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand and chose the following 17 case stories.
This publication is currently available in English and the Hindi version is being translated and will be up here soon.
