60-year-old lady's success story in diversified farming

60-year-old Sangeeta Deol was stricken by polio when she was a child, but her determination and strong will did not let it affect her desire to succeed. Today her success in diversified farming is an example for others to follow.

She is a first generation farmer who has set-up, and run a huge enterprise that deals in bee-keeping, dairy farming and even deals with some scientific agricultural processes.

"Women farmers should make efforts to start their own venture. Initially, they might find some opposition, but once they start generating profits their living standard would improve that will also remove all the obstacles. I think women farmers should fight for their rights. They should have the confidence that they can do everything," she said.

Her introduction of 'honey extraction machine' has helped sort out problems of small beekeepers in the area. She helps in extraction of honey and further supplies it to manufacturers of natural honey and herbal products.
