00:00 I wanted to work in the society, from childhood.
00:03 I didn't learn it in school, but I learned it in my father's farm.
00:06 There were no 8th generation children.
00:08 Today, I have 18-19 generation children.
00:10 Because of these chemical fertilizers and medicines,
00:13 the disease started in the house.
00:15 The cow dung is raw.
00:18 It has a lot of strength.
00:20 And no disease can be cured with cow dung.
00:23 I started getting calls from the Prime Minister.
00:26 The President asked me, "Don't you use slippers?"
00:29 I said, "I use them."
00:30 I was called to all the Maharashtra.
00:32 It was very difficult to get a photo.
00:34 I said, "Don't take a photo, but take my questions."
00:37 Namaskar.
00:43 Welcome once again to the special episode of
00:45 "Ghost Asamanyanchi Ya Lok Satta."
00:48 Today's episode is the 50th episode.
00:50 In this episode, we will learn about a person
00:54 who is known as Beej Mata.
00:56 She is Padma Shri Rahibai Poperi.
00:59 She is a resident of the Adivasi village of Khedegaon,
01:02 in the Akul Taluk.
01:04 She has created a beech bank for the
01:06 farmers of the village.
01:08 Her work is being done not only in Maharashtra,
01:11 but also all over the world.
01:13 Let's find out how it all started.
01:16 Namaskar.
01:17 My name is Rahibai Soma Poperi.
01:18 I live in Akul Taluk, Madnagar,
01:20 in the Akul Taluk, Madnagar district.
01:21 Akul Taluk is a very remote village.
01:25 People ask me a lot about my work.
01:29 "How did you get interested in this work?"
01:31 "How did you start?"
01:33 I wanted to work in the society since I was young.
01:37 Since I was young.
01:39 But when I was young, my father was also very poor.
01:42 We were seven sisters.
01:44 And one of our sisters, who was nine months old,
01:47 left us.
01:50 So I took care of her nine-month-old child.
01:54 And I didn't go to school.
01:56 I would have gone to school, but because of poverty,
01:59 we were seven sisters.
02:01 Only two sisters were in school.
02:04 We didn't get education.
02:06 We didn't go to school, but our father taught us everything.
02:09 How to live in the society, how to work,
02:12 how to work.
02:14 Our father taught us all this.
02:16 Just like we were taught in the education system,
02:20 my father would sit with all the children for a month or two
02:24 and teach them.
02:26 He didn't teach them in school, but he taught them.
02:29 He would sell everything in the fields.
02:31 I would keep it in my father's house in the fields.
02:34 And I had that hobby since I was a child.
02:37 I wanted to do something good in the society.
02:40 I was a laborer, and when I came home,
02:42 there was nothing to do in the fields.
02:44 There was no water here, everything was in the summer.
02:46 There was nothing to do.
02:48 So I would bring water from the well,
02:50 and I would bring water from the well,
02:52 and I would make clothes.
02:54 I made 3,500 clothes in the first year of Karwandi.
02:57 But I had to keep a lot of names,
02:59 and I had to speak a lot.
03:01 And then I called the Sathe Saheb,
03:03 and he took the clothes somewhere.
03:05 Then I would make clothes for the sheep,
03:07 for the hens, for the leaves, for the lemons.
03:10 And when it rained, I would call Sathe Saheb,
03:13 and on the way to the Bachet Ghat,
03:15 I would give clothes to every woman.
03:18 And even today,
03:20 I have started taking part in the Haldi Cook project.
03:23 I don't have any money for that.
03:25 I have a very hard journey.
03:27 So I started giving clothes to every woman
03:29 for the Haldi Cook project.
03:31 And when I started giving clothes,
03:33 I realized that my family was starting to get sick.
03:39 When I started getting sick,
03:41 I thought, "I have worked so hard on the journey,
03:44 I have never taken any medicine,
03:46 or taken any medicine.
03:48 And now, I am getting sick at home."
03:50 I had to go to Thand, Samcherpur,
03:52 and I had to walk back and forth
03:54 from Akulya to Samcherpur.
03:56 One day, I realized while going to Samcherpur,
03:58 that I was not getting sick at home,
04:00 and I was wondering where I was getting sick from.
04:02 And I was very sad.
04:04 The next day, I came back,
04:06 and everyone in my village came to see me.
04:08 They saw my village, and they saw the village around me.
04:10 Because in my village,
04:12 there was a lot of waste, chemicals,
04:14 and other waste.
04:16 People were coming to see me.
04:18 So I went around the village,
04:20 and I sat down under a tree.
04:22 And I thought,
04:24 "In my village,
04:26 what was the problem that I was facing before?
04:28 And what is the problem now?"
04:30 "In my village, what was the problem that I was facing before?
04:32 And what is the problem now?"
04:34 Or, "In my village, there was no waste,
04:36 and now, how much waste is there?
04:38 How much medicine is being given?"
04:40 I sat down under a tree and thought about this.
04:42 And then,
04:44 I realized that
04:46 the chemical waste,
04:48 the chemicals,
04:50 is causing the disease in my house.
04:52 So I came home in the evening,
04:54 and I called everyone.
04:56 I told them,
04:58 "We should stop using
05:00 these chemicals,
05:02 and waste,
05:04 and give the land a clean land."
05:06 But I was so angry at home,
05:08 and I was so angry at home,
05:10 that I told them,
05:12 "When I came home in the morning,
05:14 I got a lot of help from my wife."
05:16 And I had prepared my own house,
05:18 but I told my relatives
05:20 that I was living at my house.
05:22 And everyone was laughing at me.
05:24 My old house, my old house,
05:26 and I had just taken
05:28 a small bag and went out to get it.
05:30 And I was going to get it in the evening.
05:32 But my husband,
05:34 another husband came to me.
05:36 I got down from the road,
05:38 and he came.
05:40 I brought the bag again,
05:42 and I sat down on the floor,
05:44 and I started talking to him.
05:46 I was looking at the bag.
05:48 I asked him, "Where did you come from?"
05:50 He said, "It's raining,
05:52 and there's a flood in the city."
05:54 I asked him, "So much land,
05:56 and you're telling me the name of this land?"
05:58 He said, "What do you mean,
06:00 the name?"
06:02 I asked him, "Who bought this land?"
06:04 He said, "People buy new lands,
06:06 and they do new things.
06:08 How can you say that they bought the land?"
06:10 "So, the experience I'm telling you now,
06:12 I'm telling this experience
06:14 to the entire Sathe Sahib."
06:16 And then he came back to me.
06:18 He said, "What are you doing,
06:20 auntie?"
06:22 I said, "I'm digging a well to water the crops."
06:24 He said, "How do you do this?"
06:26 I said, "We plant the seeds
06:28 and sow them in the soil.
06:30 We plant them in the soil.
06:32 They grow well for three years,
06:34 and last for ten years to eat."
06:36 And then he did something.
06:38 He took all my information.
06:40 He told me to dig the well.
06:42 He put a stone on the well.
06:44 And then he dug a sample.
06:46 And he found
06:48 a hundred and fifty samples
06:50 in my house.
06:52 And then
06:54 he took a photo of it.
06:56 I said, "It's my village,
06:58 my land, but it wasn't in front of me."
07:00 He said, "It's the villagers' land."
07:02 He dug all the wells.
07:04 Now, the old, golden,
07:06 small, all the land is gone.
07:08 All the villagers are gone.
07:10 He helped me
07:12 and this work went on.
07:14 Today, I have 18-19 families.
07:16 So, whatever I saw in the village,
07:18 I bought it from them
07:20 and started planting it
07:22 in my field.
07:24 In two years, I planted
07:26 200 wells in my house.
07:28 And when I had 200 wells in my house,
07:30 I had to do everything myself.
07:32 I had to eat.
07:34 I was sick.
07:36 I told the women of Bachet Ghat,
07:38 "The well is
07:40 very weak.
07:42 It's strong.
07:44 It can't be used for anything."
07:46 But,
07:48 it's a bigger chemical.
07:50 And the well is so special.
07:52 I have a son.
07:54 He was sick in the summer.
07:56 He was on the ground.
07:58 But, when it rained,
08:00 he got well.
08:02 He won't get well.
08:04 He will get well
08:06 only if he has the ground.
08:08 And he can grow
08:10 on his own.
08:12 The benefits are
08:14 that the disease doesn't get worse.
08:16 The health is good.
08:18 And each vegetable
08:20 gets a different medicine.
08:22 Now, when it rains,
08:24 no one grows vegetables.
08:26 No one gets sick.
08:28 Each vegetable gets a different medicine.
08:30 That's why.
08:32 And there is a lot of rice.
08:34 There were 18 races
08:36 in the village.
08:38 I collected all 18 races.
08:40 I don't have much land.
08:42 But, I managed to plant 18 races.
08:44 I did something in one well.
08:46 I planted 4 races of wheat.
08:48 4 races of hybrid rice.
08:50 I didn't give any chemical fertilizers.
08:52 Like soil and water.
08:54 But, I didn't give any fertilizers
08:56 to the hybrid rice.
08:58 So, it didn't get any good growth.
09:00 And the rice that I planted
09:02 was given to 4 races.
09:04 And these 4 races didn't get any rice.
09:06 I showed this to the farmers
09:08 in my field.
09:10 I used to collect the rice.
09:12 When it was ready,
09:14 I used to keep the rice for the wheat.
09:16 Then, I used to select the rice.
09:18 I used to grow it in the summer.
09:20 And I used to select the rice.
09:22 I used to keep the good rice
09:24 for the wheat.
09:26 And I used to keep the bad rice
09:28 for the rice.
09:30 And I used to keep the good rice
09:32 for the wheat.
09:34 I used to keep it at home.
09:36 And I used to keep it in the earthen pot.
09:38 And I used to keep it in the earthen pot.
09:40 And I used to keep it in the earthen pot.
09:42 And I used to take it out
09:44 and take it back.
09:46 And I used to take it out
09:48 and take it back.
09:50 I used to keep it in the earthen pot.
09:52 And it would stay for 10 years
09:54 to eat.
09:56 But for the wheat,
09:58 it would grow for 3 years.
10:00 And it would be good.
10:02 And if it didn't grow for 3 years,
10:04 I used to keep it in the house.
10:06 And if it didn't grow for the next year,
10:08 I didn't take it out.
10:10 But if it grows for 3 years,
10:12 it would grow.
10:14 And if I used to bring
10:16 it back and use it,
10:18 it wouldn't grow for the next year.
10:20 And the wheat,
10:22 the sweet wheat, the bitter wheat,
10:24 the black wheat, the red wheat,
10:26 the green wheat,
10:28 the red wheat, the white wheat,
10:30 the papdi wheat,
10:32 the green wheat,
10:34 the white wheat,
10:36 the green wheat,
10:38 the red wheat,
10:40 the white wheat,
10:42 the papdi wheat,
10:44 the bitter wheat,
10:46 the black wheat, the white wheat,
10:48 the green wheat, the red wheat,
10:50 the green wheat, the red wheat,
10:52 the bitter wheat.
10:54 And we used to have a lot of bitter wheat.
10:56 We had the bhakri,
10:58 the cow leaves,
11:00 the chitruka,
11:02 the wheat from the jungle,
11:04 the tea, the tea leaves,
11:06 the mango leaves,
11:08 the diwe, the bhardi,
11:10 the pathri, the masala,
11:12 the shiala, the fadashi,
11:14 the rana.
11:16 And I have a lot of varieties.
11:18 I make the names of the varieties.
11:20 Now, a lot of people ask for it.
11:22 I make the names of the varieties.
11:24 And I distribute it to people.
11:26 I have 16 varieties of rice.
11:28 I have 16 varieties of rice in this village.
11:30 Raibhav, Jirvil, Varangal,
11:32 Kalbhat, Ambe Mor, Tamphudoi,
11:34 Dholbhat.
11:36 And the strength of Dholbhat
11:38 is not good to see.
11:40 It is not good to eat.
11:42 But the strength of Dholbhat
11:44 is enough to feed our warriors.
11:46 Our women are still cooking rice.
11:48 Even the women who are in the delivery
11:50 are fed with that rice.
11:52 Even the children are fed with that rice.
11:54 That is the strength of Dholbhat.
11:56 And that is the medicine.
11:58 But if we fall and fall,
12:00 we have to cook that rice
12:02 in the evening.
12:04 We have to tie it up in the evening
12:06 and leave it again in the morning.
12:08 We have to tie it up again in the morning
12:10 and leave it again in the morning.
12:12 If we tie it up for four days,
12:14 the rice will be spoiled.
12:16 We have to give one medicine
12:18 to the rice.
12:20 I distributed the rice to the people
12:22 in the village.
12:24 I brought some rice from the village.
12:26 I brought some rice from outside.
12:28 People got to know about it.
12:30 I distributed it to the people.
12:32 I got a lot of help from my wife.
12:34 She called me a teacher.
12:36 She called me a teacher.
12:38 I have been to all the communities
12:40 in Maharashtra,
12:42 but I have not been able to come out.
12:44 Now, I am being called to all the communities
12:46 in Maharashtra.
12:48 I tell people that
12:50 I was very afraid that people would get hurt.
12:52 I told them not to get hurt,
12:54 but I was worried.
12:56 I started getting calls from the Padmashree.
12:58 I got so many offers.
13:00 I got so many offers.
13:02 I get one offer every day.
13:04 I get one offer every day.
13:06 I got one offer every day.
13:08 I met the women's union in Delhi.
13:10 I met the women's union in Delhi.
13:12 I still tell people that
13:14 this is not my award.
13:16 This award is for my black soil,
13:18 my BHA and my farmers.
13:20 I went to Delhi for the first time
13:22 to get the women's union.
13:24 I told Modi about my work.
13:26 I went to Delhi for the second Padmashree award.
13:28 I told Modi about my work.
13:30 People were wearing nice clothes.
13:32 People were wearing nice clothes.
13:34 I went to Delhi to get the award
13:36 for the shoes I had bought.
13:38 I went to Delhi to get the award for the shoes I had bought.
13:40 The President asked me
13:42 if I use shoes.
13:44 I said yes.
13:46 He asked me if I use shoes.
13:48 I said yes.
13:50 I went to the temple and
13:52 my shoes were outside.
13:54 My shoes were outside.
13:56 He praised me.
13:58 He said that I have done a great job.
14:00 I helped the women of Jodha Lakh.
14:02 I established a committee
14:04 for women's union.
