Daughters of the Soil : Meet the fiery Dalit women working to preserve millet biodiversity

- This is the story of the Sanghams of Zaheerabad, Telangana who have been working to preserve grain and millet biodiversity for more than thirty years now. With the help of the Deccan Development Society, an organisation working to uplift triply marginalised Dalit women they are also proud climate warriors now. They have fought against all odds to reduce gender discrimination in their society, caste hierarchies and also the domination of monoculture. In the arid regions of Telangana which has always received scarce rainfall, millets survive well. They are hardy and resilient to changes in climate patterns today. Moreover, since they also save seeds it protects them from low quality seeds of the market and fluctuations that take place in prices. While the money these women make might not be as much as cash crops like sugarcane or wheat, they have managed to end hunger and ensure food security for themselves.

Thank you!
Highly appreciable work
Bringing stories of "Dalit" achievements is necessary. I am sure there are many more of them.
Yes, many of them!
Govt should take initiative to introduce these millets to poshan scheme
I'm feeling proud to be from this region... my home town is inspiring to other parts of the country...in terms of agriculture and way of life. In rural areas..
A opportunity exists for other like minded people to support and to continue the work of these women. Think and act Positive and all will be great.
Thank you DTE , you're the light at the end of the tunnel
I am from Chhattisgarh.
Here, due to state as well as central govt sponsored programmes, millets are the new trend for us.
I live in one of the cities of Chhattisgarh, here nowadays nobody talks about oats or whatever diet conscious people would prefer eating.
Almost everybody atleast people of my circle are switching to more indigenous n more nutritious options of the FMCG hyped products like ragi cookies, kodo upma, ragi malt, etc.
I wont say that this is all because of govt sponsored scheme alone, but yes, the awareness n channeled system they provided for these grains to come out to mass, in more organised and more processed way is definitely an advantage for the millet farmers.
Inspiring 🙏
A very happy news❤

Telangana ❤
Well explained on mixed farming

❤🙌🙏
👍👍
Very good work , but I don’t understand why they have started building concrete houses .. people in the cities now are going for mud houses because it’s eco friendly and better for health . 🙏
There are no younger generation in these video so after them no body gone do farming not even there children's😢😢😢😢
Sad reality bro... But before pointing our finger at their children we should check ourselves " Are we willing to do farming? "
Actually, these women run horizontal information dissemination mechanisms. Knowledge is passed on from mothers-in-law to daughters-in-law. So it will go on for decades. Another video on that soon!
@@D2E I don't think so
Do elaborate on your views. We will take all feedback into account.
@@D2E do a video on younger generation below 25 and how today agricultural practices effecting atmosphere and water bodies and how these gmo and hybrids are ruling the soil
why did you mention dalit women
a request to not use 'dalit' word as it appears to be derogatory. In sanatan dharm, dalit word does not exist you can instead use 'hindu' word if you have to specify religion or cast or you can write her name as well directly. Im your loyal follower from past 1 year and this i didnt expect from you guys as you are arent mainstream media. Kindly take note of this in future.
I would say better to call them 'harijans'.
@@kau_shal.18 Why so ? Is it necessary? Aren't they enough as human beings? We like to divide ourselves and so others are taking advantage of such division. The word harijan or dalit doesn't matter as both words are meant to divide and point at that lower caste.
😂 good joke brother.Treat them as humans first and then consider them as hindus.it's my request for people like u.
@@hedhi2610they did not divide themselves. They were forced to
This tag will forever remain
Upper castes should be reminded that theyre evil
The best thing is that the communities that Indian society has ostracized for thousands of years are now leading the Country towards a more sustainable future 🫡
Very true. ......but hardly given any importance or recognition. This is true measure of our mindset. Some people are believed to do the hard work without any honour or appreciation.
