Kalpana is 29-years-old. She lives with her family in the Kisanganj district of West Bengal. Her household comprises herself, her husband, and her three children. Both she and her husband work in the agricultural fields and take care of cultivation on the land. Together they make a monthly income of INR.25,000. This is not enough for them to sustain their family of five.
Thus they want to expand the paddy cultivation, for which, they will need to purchase more seeds and fertilizer from the local market. Two other women join Kalpana in applying for a loan of INR.155,000. All women in the group are engaged in agribusiness and seek funding to invest in the expansion of their respective agribusinesses. They thank their lenders in advance.
In this group: Prati, Sandhyarani, Kalpana
