"A woman farmer spends 3,485 hours in a year on one hectare of farmland," says Neha Upadhyay, the 'Eco-Village Lady of India'.
She is empowering women farmers by introducing solar drying and eco-friendly practices in Ladakh through her initiative, Guna Organics.
This initiative provides these women with the tools and knowledge to succeed and helps them establish a deep connection to their land and traditions.
From cultivating organic crops to harnessing renewable energy, Neha's holistic approach transforms farming into a vehicle for empowerment and environmental stewardship.
“There have been days I have hugged the villagers, telling them that we would come out of the situation,” she says, adding that creating eco-villages in their lands is like fulfilling that promise.
Today, as better toilets, improved livelihoods, and sustainable farm practices keep the flag of Ladakh flying high and proud, Upadhyay sees this as a collective win.
