ABOUT THE FOUNDER:
Nilima Jorwar is a woman living in the Sahyadri Mountains of Maharashtra, India, who is widely recognized as the "millet lady" in her community.

She is also the Managing Director of the Kalsubai Millet Farmers Pro.Co.Ltd, located in the Akole taluka of the Ahemadnagar district in Maharashtra.

For many years, farmers in the region practiced market-driven farming, utilizing hybrid seeds and chemical fertilizers to cultivate rice all year round. However, Nilima acknowledges the harmful effects of this method and has taken steps to promote natural farming practices, including rotating rice with millets and legumes, which sustains the natural ecosystem and provides highly nutritious produce for the community.

Through her company, Nilima works with 250 marginal, dry land, tribal farmers to conserve millets, traditional rice seeds, pulses, and other vegetables. She ensures that the organic produce from these farms reaches well-formed markets to create sustainable profits for the farmers themselves. Nilima's efforts have been fruitful, and she is witnessing a revolution in sustainable farming practices.

She has authored two Marathi language books- BAKHAR RANBHAJYANCHI, a book on Wild Vegetables, and MILLET JADUI DHANY, a book on ancient grains-Millets. She also organizes Millet Festivals, Nature camps, and Cooking shows to promote Millets and Tribal Food Culture.

Nilima is proud of the impact she is making on her community and knows that her work is not done. She will continue to champion sustainable farming practices and promote natural farming methods to ensure a better future for the environment, the people, and the farming practices of her region.
