Tamarai, a 45-year-old widow and mother of three, owns 2.5 acres of land which she received after her husband’s death. (Her husband died in an accident when he was climbing a tree to pluck leaves to feed their goats and cow.) 

Tamari and her sisters, who are also widows, are all small farmers. She used to work as a sugarcane cultivator but now practices ecological farming

She has attended Women’s Collective conferences and has learned farming techniques which she has been able to put into practice on her land. She is very interested ecological farming and has a strong understanding of its benefits. 

On her land she has cultivated millet, a variety of mung beans, rice, and sugarcane. She is also raising goats and cows whose manure she uses to fertilize the crops.
