Letβs hear from Kajol from Udalguri, who shifted her farming strategy with Kalong Kapili under SGP after paddy cultivation failed.
Her story inspires us to never give up and shows that with the right support and determination, one can transform setbacks into new, sustainable beginnings.

Meet Hamson Daimary, whose dream was to have a fishery pond (pukhuri) one day. He has been digging and developing it over the past eight years with patience and determination.
With support from Kalong Kapili under SGP, Hamson has found renewed hope. He has started fishery activities and is now practicing integrated farming. Grateful for the opportunity, he continues to learn new techniques and apply them on his farm, making steady progress toward a better livelihood.
