From Despair to Prosperity: Raghunath’s Journey to a Better Future

Raghunath Hembram, a marginal farmer from the small village of Mandam in Baunshanali panchayat, Jashipur, had long struggled to provide for his family. With just 1.20 decimal of land, the meager harvest barely lasted six months, forcing him and his wife to migrate in search of daily-wage labor for survival.

Their hardships deepened as they watched their children suffer—frequently missing school due to financial constraints, unable to afford even the basic necessities of education like books, uniforms, and fees. The burden of poverty weighed heavily on Raghunath, leaving him feeling helpless and hopeless.

 

Amidst this despair, a ray of hope emerged when SAMBANDH, a local organization working for community development, took notice of Raghunath’s plight. Through its dedicated Community Mobilizer, the organization introduced him to the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) method—a revolutionary approach to paddy cultivation promising higher yields. Skeptical yet desperate for change, Raghunath decided to take the leap.

Skeptical yet desperate for change, Raghunath decided to take the leap.

For the first time, Raghunath felt a sense of security and optimism. No longer would he have to leave his home in search of work. His children could now attend school regularly without the fear of dropping out. He and his wife were overwhelmed with gratitude, vowing to continue this method in the coming years. With newfound confidence and a sustainable livelihood, Raghunath Hembram’s story became a testament to resilience, transformation, and the power of timely intervention.

 

Forever grateful, Raghunath acknowledges that SAMBANDH did not just help him grow crops—it helped him reclaim his dignity and dreams.
