Corteva Agriscience

Kiran Devi, a woman farmer from Jharkhand, achieved her highest seasonal income by joining the Budhibir Samriddhi Mahila Kisan Producer Company Ltd, an innovative woman-led FPO. With doorstep seed delivery and strong support from Samunnati and government schemes, she reduced costs and saved time. Improved access to agri-inputs like vegetables, maize, and paddy transformed her farming. She now takes the lead to support other women in her community.

Meet Archana Kumari from Uttar Pradesh, a passionate student pursuing Horticulture with a vision to transform farming in India. With support from the Corteva Agriscience Scholarship Program in collaboration with Buddy4Study, she’s overcoming financial barriers and pursuing BSc (Hons) in agriculture. She aims to become an agricultural scientist.

Archana plans to empower farmers by introducing scientific farming methods, educating them on market trends, and helping them boost yields and profits. Her journey is a powerful example of how investing in women’s education can uplift entire communities.
