- 57.6%of women in Telangana have anaemia.
- 70%of children below five in Telangana have anaemia.
- 54%of farm land in Telangana depends only on rain.
- 70%of the profit in Indian farming is made after the crop leaves the farm, in trade and processing.
So we process the crop close to the village, and more of that money stays there.

What we want to change
Food made in the village. Money that stays in the village. A reason to stay in the village.
Today
- The crop leaves the village raw.
- The value is added in the city.
- Young people follow the work.
Our way
- The crop is dried and packed in the village.
- The money comes back to the village.
- There is a reason to stay.
- 70,000+people left Kurnool district to find work in the 2026 drought.
- 57%of Telangana is expected to live in towns by 2036. In 2011 it was 39%.
