JAIPUR: An illiterate, Madhu Nagar (31) living in a nondescript Hemra Village in Jhalawar is earning Rs 8,000 per month from beekeeping—producing and selling honey through a self-help group.
Belonging to a landless farmer family, Devi for years worked in a wheat field earning less than Rs 100 a day for 12 hours. She is not alone whose life has changed under the Rajasthan Grameen Aajeevika Vikas Parishad program introduced in November last year. Later, the project was included in the Madhusakhi Jhalawari Sahed (MJS) program.
