Mrs. Monjuma Begum is a farm woman who
inspired many lives with her strong will, determination, hope to excel and make
a better living. She has completed her education and got married to a gentle
man named Anuwar Hussain. Life was easy, simple and happy with two loving
children on her lap. All her needs and wants were fulfilled by her husband.
But, everything washed off in a blink of eye after her husband’s demise in the
year 2004. She was only 24 years old at that time. She had to face serious life
struggles to raise her children. Her parents couldn’t see her in such distress
and took her back home. One day, she noticed a book in her home andstarted
reading. The book was, “Kheti Koru Ahok” authored byMr. Pabitra Kalita which
gave her new insight about farming. She thought, “Opportunities never happen,
you create them”. And this thought became a guiding light to a whole new
destination.
Concomitantly, she got in contact with Krishi Vigyan
KendraGolaghat and attendedvarious trainings on “Scientific cultivation of
Kharif and Rabi Vegetables”, “Low Cost Vermicomposting”, “Scientific
cultivation of Potato” etc. These broaden her vision to start vegetable
cultivation in a proper scientific manner to cater the needs of the market with
good quality seed and proper doses of fertilizers. She started going to her own
farm lands from 2005-06 and commercially engaged in farming from 2009. She also
got in contact with ATMA, District Agriculture Office, Golaghat and Sugarcane
Research Station (Buralikson) in the year 2014-15 and got their support in her
farming. Looking at her passion, various demonstrationswere held in her farm
land which not only benefitted her but a group of farm women in her locality were
mobilized by her. Gradually she became famous for her works in her locality. She
purchased a tractor with her own hard earned money in the 2018 and this
extended her capabilities manifolds.
