Sunni Malla Singh lives in Chotajulwaniya, which is 5 KM far from Thandla Tehsil, Jhabua. She has 2 bigha agricultural land, which is very less for having a prosperous life. She had 5 children and whole family depends on agriculture for their livelihoods. When Jeevika team first started its activity in Chotajulwaniya, Sunni was very shy and hardly participated in its activities. But after continuous motivation, she found it interesting and started to participate in each activity of Jeevika.
After joining Jeevika, she formed her SHG and started taking new initiatives. She was so motivated for model farming, which enforced us to select her as model farmer. She also motivated her husband Mr. Malla Singh to join Kisan club of Chotajulwaniya. She showed her leadership skills, when she went to Jhabua jansunwai for submitting application for well, Hand-pump and village road. She has also planted fruit plants at their farm land. She told us that she will plant more fruit plants in next season, because it will give her more sustainable income.
She has been also started to take benefits of government schemes and keep herself regularly in touch of agriculture department. She has also started to adopt organic farming in this month, on small scale. She told that since it is very risky to adopt organic farming completely, because her livelihoods completely depends on it, but if it will give them positive results, she will adopt it completely. She is illiterate, but after listening Radio at VIC, she found it useful and decided to buy her personal Radio. She also motivates others to buy one, so that people learn useful things about health, education and agriculture. Her positive attitude, to learn new things and readiness to adopt it, always inspires others.
