Empowering women Geeta Jethva, Mundra (Gujarat) Geeta Jethva, a single mother of four children, is reaping the benefits of her consistent hard work on her farmland. Her late husband was the first farmer to start farming Dragon fruit in the Kutch region and she has taken it to new heights with her daughter. Currently she has 3,200 plants of dragon fruit, which she wants to expand to 5,000. She also learnt about natural farming, drip irrigation, crop rotation and marketing through various trainings and exposure visits. This helped to reduce the costs incurred and enhance the quality of the vegetables she cultivates, which fetch higher returns. Today she is earning H40,000 per month. “After my husband passed away, I did not know how I would make ends meet and planned to sell my farm. But the capacity building support from the Adani Foundation gave me courage to scale up my husband’s dragon fruit farm and turn to completely natural farming,” she says.
