JOURNEY OF TRANSFORMATION

Stories of Real Change

"This is just the beginning, and I'm ready to soar towards a better tomorrow."
— Sarabjeet Kaur

Stitching a Future with Hope and Empowerment

Sarabjeet words reflect the resilience that has carried her through life’s struggles. Living in Punjab’s Sadda Singhwala village with her husband, a daily wage labourer, Sarabjeet found herself trapped in a cycle of financial hardship. The weight of barely meeting basic needs left her feeling powerless, unable to secure a brighter future for her children.

That changed when she joined Project TARA’s stitching training program in July 2024. What began to support her family quickly grew into something much more, a path to self-empowerment. The skills she gained not only gave her the ability to contribute to her family’s income but also ignited a spark of confidence she had never known before.

From a quiet, reserved woman, Sarabjeet has blossomed into a leader at TARA, inspiring others with her newfound voice and strength. Today, she stands as a symbol of hope, with dreams of giving her children a future full of opportunity, a future she once thought was out of reach.

Sarabjeet’s journey is a powerful reminder that when given the right support, anyone can rise above their circumstances.

"The continuous support and handholding have truly made a difference."

Sowing Change: Jagjit Singh’s Journey with Navi Disha

When Jagjit Singh first joined Project Navi Disha project in 2021, he set out with a simple goal — to grow chemical-free vegetables for his family. A progressive farmer from Punjab, Jagjit was open to new ideas, and with regular guidance from Talwandi Sabo Thermal Plant Project Navi Disha’s field staff, he slowly began to transform his approach to farming.

What started as a kitchen garden soon grew into something much more. Jagjit established a vegetable nursery and expanded his crops to include cucumber and sponge gourd. This shift not only ensured healthier food on his family’s table but also saved him around ₹45,000 over the past year in input costs across his 4.5 acres of land.

Encouraged by his progress, Jagjit took another leap, this time into onion seed production, supported closely by Talwandi Sabo Thermal Plant, Punjab. Through Navi Disha’s market linkage initiatives, Jagjit now sells directly in local markets using canopy stands provided under the programme, ensuring better returns and a stronger connection with the community.

“The continuous support and handholding have truly made a difference,” he says. Jagjit Singh’s story is one of many. Through Navi Disha, farmers like him are building more sustainable livelihoods and inspiring a quiet revolution in agriculture, one field at a time.
