One million small and marginal women farmers in India are part of the 60% of population but account for a mere 14-15% of the GDP* and most of their work remains unrecognized. We at ALC India, aim to reimagine the livelihoods of these women farmers through Operation Beehive.
Be a part of this journey through SIO-II, which aims to fund the incubation and acceleration of enterprises with 100,000 women farmers for phase-1 of Operation Beehive. It is possible if the best minds with appropriate resources come together to create viable and sustainable solutions.
