Welcome to Chhattisgarh SMKUPCL (Swarnupaj)
About Us
Swarnupaj Mahila Kisan Utpadak Producer Company Ltd. (SMKUPCL) is a women-led Farmer Producer Company operating across Khairagarh-Chhuikhadan-Gandai, Rajnandgaon, and Kabirdham districts in Chhattisgarh. We are committed to building self-reliant rural women entrepreneurs through sustainable agriculture, fair market access, and collective action.
Established under the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana – National Rural Livelihood Mission (DAYNRLM) and supported by FDRVC and the Chhattisgarh SRLM (Bihan), Swarnupaj focuses on enabling women farmers to take charge of their livelihoods and thrive economically.
OUR MISSION
• Strengthen rural women through collective farming and agribusiness
• Promote digital and transparent procurement practices
• Facilitate value addition and processing of agri-commodities
• Enable access to quality inputs, training, and government schemes
OUR VISION
To build a self-sustaining, women-led enterprise that enhances the income, dignity, and decision-making power of rural women farmers through inclusive agricultural practices and fair market linkages.
Success Stories
Lakhpati Didi Program: Before intervention, only 5% of members earned over ₹1 lakh/year. Today, that number has grown to 13%. These empowered women are not only earning more — they are leading community decision-making and inspiring others.
WHAT WE DO
Procurement & Aggregation
We aggregate and procure key crops like chana, soybean, arhar, and masoor through 70+ Digital Collection Centers (D3Cs), ensuring transparent pricing and instant payments
Processing & Value Addition
Our upcoming Chana Dal processing unit will boost local value addition and generate rural employment
Agri-Input Services
We provide doorstep delivery of certified seeds, fertilizers, and bio-inputs, reducing costs and increasing access for remote farmers
Drone-Based Services
Our "Drone Didi" initiative trains local women in drone operations for crop monitoring and precision spraying—boosting productivity and reducing costs.
Farmer Capacity Building
Over 15,000 women trained in modern practices, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy— many have now reached “Lakhpati Didi” status.
Our Impact (As of FY 2024)
Looking Ahead
• Operationalizing our Chana Dal processing unit
• Expanding to e-commerce via Amazon, Flipkart, BigBasket
• Launching a certified seed business
• Deploying mobile procurement units for last-mile aggregation
• Scaling to Dongargarh, Rajnandgaon, and more FPO tie-ups
