AVANI: The Indigo Harvest
Mohani Devi has been harvesting indigo with Avani for two years, providing her with an independent source of income. Mohani lives in Chachared, a village with five households down a steep slope from the main road. Mohani carries the indigo she harvests up the slope to the road where the Avani truck can pick it up. This year, Mohani, along with help from her daughter-in-law Kabita, has harvested 116kg of indigo, worth about 2,359 rupees. Read the full story on the Avani blog
