Puja Naik, a bright 16-year-old tribal girl studying in 10th grade, lives with her family in a remote village. Her father, Nakula Naik, works as a daily wage laborer, struggling to provide for the family’s basic needs. Despite her circumstances, Puja dreamed of building a better life for herself and her family.

One day, she learned about Nutri-gardens through a community development worker from SAMBANDH, an organization dedicated to improving lives in her village. Curious and eager to learn, Puja approached the worker to understand more. She was shocked to discover that the vegetables her family consumed daily were often grown with harmful pesticides and inorganic practices, slowly deteriorating their health and well-being.

Determined to make a change, Puja sought guidance from SAMBANDH’s agricultural experts. With their support and strategic advice, she decided to establish her own Nutri-garden and poultry farm. Understanding her family’s financial difficulties, SAMBANDH provided essential resources and ongoing mentorship to help her get started.

The journey was challenging, but Puja’s resilience paid off. Her Nutri-garden now flourishes with fresh, organic vegetables that provide her family with safe and nutritious food. Meanwhile, poultry farming offers a consistent supply of eggs and meat. Selling the surplus at the local market allows Puja to cover her education expenses and contribute financially to her household.

Her parents are overwhelmed with pride and relief. They gratefully express, “Our daughter is becoming self-reliant. She no longer depends on us, and we feel relieved and thankful to SAMBANDH for their invaluable support. Their guidance has truly transformed our lives.”

Puja’s inspiring story reflects the power of knowledge, courage, and timely intervention, proving that with the right support, dreams can indeed flourish.
