Agragamee

For many tribal women in Odisha’s Kashipur block in the Rayagada district, making and selling brooms is the primary source of income and livelihood. Exploited and taken advantage of, the women finally decided to take matters into their own hands to secure their futures.

Vidhya Das is the founder of Agragamee, and the popular tribal women's collective, AmaSangathan. Her untiring efforts in the field of tribal development have led to a sea-change in the socio-economic conditions of countless tribals in Odisha.
