"We should have more ERAs here. Then more farmers will be benefited. More business opportunities will also be opened to others." - Hitesh Kalita Meet Hitesh Kalita, the son of a farmer from the Kamrup district of Assam, India. Previously associated with the Grameen Sahara NGO, Hitesh's career took an exciting turn after he attended a special training program hosted by Access Agriculture and GIZ in Guwahati this past March. Equipped with a new smart projector pre-loaded with valuable agricultural training videos, Hitesh has become a successful rural entrepreneur. Key Impacts & Success Stories:

• Educating the Community: Hitesh travels to local villages to screen these agricultural videos for farmers, equipping them with the knowledge they need to improve their farming practices.

• Building a Sustainable Business: As an ERA (Entrepreneur for Rural Access), Hitesh has built a successful business model. He earns a steady income by collecting ticket fees for his video screenings.

• Maximizing Technology: To maximize his income, he also rents his smart projector out to local schools and for the many cultural functions that take place in Assam. • Career Advancement:

Thanks to his hard work and the success of his video screenings, the Grameen Sahara NGO recently selected him to work as an executive in the GIZ project! Hitesh is a strong advocate for the ERA program, believing that expanding the network of rural entrepreneurs will not only benefit more farmers but also create widespread business opportunities across the region.

A sincere thank you to GIZ, Access Agriculture, and Grameen Sahara for providing the tools and training to make this rural entrepreneurship possible!
