Jagdishpur Village – Machines That Built Collective Strength

Community Voice

Nov 11th, 2025

In Jagdishpur, long hours of manual labour once defined farming. Through MVDP, villagers formed the Aadarsh Krishak Hit Samuh and created a Machine Bank stocked with threshers, sprayers, weeders, and wheel hoes.
The results were immediate:
• 30–40% reduction in labour costs
• Timely farm operations
• Reduced drudgery
• Higher net income
“These machines don’t just work faster — they make us stronger together.”
The Machine Bank is now a model of collective ownership and rural self-reliance.
