From Corporate to Farm: Subhana Hazarika's Sustainable Pickle Empire
Subhana Hazarika, a former corporate employee, has transformed her ancestral village in Nazira, Assam, into a thriving model of sustainable agriculture. She now earns up to Rs 25,000 per month through her value-added products, proving the profitability of the pickle business.
Subhana's journey began when she returned to her village and turned her dream of farming into reality. She started with a two-bigha plot and transformed it into a chemical-free farm using organic techniques. She built a polyhouse and two fisheries, demonstrating her commitment to sustainable living.
Subhana's farm stands as a testament to her belief in leaving behind a better world. She advises young women to have confidence in their abilities and pursue new ventures. Her methods have inspired nearly 1,000 women, including those from Below Poverty Line (BPL) families, whom she trained for free in post-harvest processing and preservation techniques.
Subhana's products, including oil-free preserves like tomato murabba and lemon peel candies, remain fresh even in Assam's humid climate. She aims to reintroduce traditional nutrition into modern families by creating natural chutneys and pastes using indigenous herbs and traditional vegetables.
