Meet the Devis!
Our next award winner to be featured in the Devi Awards countdown series is Ekta Jaju!
Ekta Jaju has worked relentlessly over the years to build a sustainable ecosystem that can help rural India thrive. She became passionate about building an organic and resilient community, when she came to realise that finding a fair and reliable market is a steady challenge faced by small organic farmers. Ekta set up ONganic Foods to provide integrated and holistic solutions for the challenges in agriculture sector. ONganic handholds the farmer right from procurement of seeds to access to the premium markets. Apart from benefits of reduced cost and premium prices, organic farming improves soil quality, promotes bio-diversity, and is extremely nutritious and climate-resilient. Jaju’s vision aspires for better livelihoods for farmers, and a more streamlined wellness for consumers as well.
The Devi Awards will be held for the first time in Kolkata on 31st August at the ITC Royal Bengal.
