A Woman Farmer's Journey From Adversity To Prosperity
The New Indian Express Vijayawada
|January 05, 2025
Breaking free from the constraints of societal expectations, Bommishetty Bhanumathi has become a beacon of hope and resilience for women farmers in Andhra Pradesh.
The 45-year-old, hailing from Proddatur, has not only turned her life around but has also championed the cause of sustainable agriculture, receiving the prestigious "Rythu Nestham" award from former Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu.
Born as the seventh of 10 siblings to daily-wage labourers at Kuppuruvaripalle village in Kamalapuram mandal, Bhanumathi's early years were far from easy. Losing her mother at a tender age, she managed to complete her education up to Class 10 before being married off at just 16. Her husband, a tailor, struggled to make ends meet, pushing Bhanumathi to do odd jobs while they lived in makeshift shelter.
