About us
Who we are
We are a team of change-makers who believe that every helping hand can raise a Farmer and create a better future for them.
The peasant movement during the British period is the product basically of the new feudal system introduced by the British colonial rulers. And the feudal system is closely related with the Permanent Settlement of 1793.
This was a settlement made with the landlords; Lord Cornwall’s started a decennial settlement in 1789, which was completed in 1791. It was completed in 1793.

Several peasant revolts such as the Sanyasi Revolt, Indigo Revolt, and tribal uprisings emerged across India as farmers resisted colonial exploitation and excessive taxation.
1918 – Early Kisan Sabhas Formed
The first organized farmer groups and Kisan Sabhas began emerging in regions such as Uttar Pradesh, bringing farmers together to demand rights and policy reforms.
