Pankajini Das, a determined entrepreneur from Basudebpur, Bhadrak district, has transformed agricultural practices in her village.

After completing a 16-days training in agri-input marketing under the AEPS-OIIPCRA scheme, facilitated by APICOL, she partnered with the Better Life Farming Alliance (BLF) to establish a one-stop agri-solution center.

This initiative provides services in agri-inputs, mechanization, credit, and market linkages. With support from the agriculture department, she secured licenses for seed and fertilizer sales, enabling her to successfully run an agri-input business, benefiting local farmers.
