"When I got married in the year 2004, I found my husband and his family with no tea plants unlike other villagers. I uncovered that my father-in-law did not want tea in his farm, probably because he did not know its value. I successfully approached my father-in-law to allow us plant tea in our farm. We planted about 0.2 acres of land, which provided us with significant and consistent income. Accordingly, my father-in-law realized the importance of the tea, and offered more land and manual support for planting more tea. He further encouraged other people in our family to plant more tea. I feel that was my greatest achievement since tea serves as our main source of income." (Campaign: UBI)
