Farmours

"I never knew a woman could sit on the board of a farmer's company. I thought it was only for men with big lands. Now, we negotiate directly with the mandi."

FPO Chairperson, Kanker

Testimonial FAQs

Are these testimonials real people? +
Yes, they are real and attributed to named individuals. With prior consent, contact details can be shared with journalists or researchers who wish to verify.
Are speakers paid for their quotes? +
No — payment would compromise independence. We do compensate speakers transparently for the time spent on the interview and reviewing the transcript.
Can a speaker withdraw their testimonial? +
Yes, at any time. The slot on the page is then marked 'withdrawn by speaker' — we do not silently replace it.
Why are all ratings five stars? +
Because we only publish testimonials from speakers whose experience was positive. Negative feedback is captured separately in our complaints process and annual report.
