RINKU RANI’S STORY
A few years ago, Rinku Rani
wanted more.
Rinku was a full-time homemaker and
devoted mother of two. Her husband,
Taposh Kumar Dey, was a hardworking
farmer.
But Rinku wasn’t satisfied. She wanted to
contribute more to her family’s financial
and nutritional well-being.
In 2013, Rinku participated in a training
program organized by IFDC’s AAPI
Walmart Foundation Activity (WFA)
project. She learned best farming
practices such as using good quality seed,
maintaining spacing between plants
and crop rows, using proper amounts
of fertilizer and, most importantly,
employing FDP instead of broadcasting
urea.
