The story of Mohsana's happiness

Mohsana doesn't want to believe her past story of past. Who can understand the past of a landless widow, without even homestead land. She lived on a Government embankment in a small hut. Then, Mohsana did get a house and small piece of land for cultivation from Government at No. 11 Women's Ashrayan. At that point it seemed like there as a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel. Mohsana got married again with a day laborer named Kamal Hossain. Both of the couple tried from the beginning to earn enough to fulfill the family needs. Mohsana is a patient and hard-workingwoman. She obtained 2-3 ducks but the duck population did not increase due to mortality. She had no goat but two bullocks. She had a small piece of cultivable land where she cultivated only winter vegetable. She together with other women members of the cluster village stocked fish in their community pond, when government released fingerlings as a relief measure. She made some handicrafts from bamboo. However, she could not achieve a major change.

However Mohsana was always interested in anything that might help to increase income for her family. Thus she was the very first to take membership when she knew that local facilitator Mr. Alamgir proposed to all poor women could increase their family earrings through joining the Farmer Field School. Mohsana participated actively and attentively. At every session of the Farmer Field School she was the first to implement the ideas discussed on her homestead. As a result she was also the first to gain success in her agricultural production and finally Mohsana's family has become well-off. She earned Tk. 35,000 from agriculture (soybean, chili, nut), Tk. 11,520 from vegetable, Tk. 2,150 from poultry, Tk. 2,900 from goat rearing, Tk. 7,000 from livestock, Tk. 2,100 from handicraft.

Now Mohsana has four cows, 2 goats, 11 ducks, 13 hens and 4 decimal of lands for vegetable cultivation. Also she has a pond of 40 decimals for fish culture. She has purchased a shop at Pankhar Bazar and 2 milking cow from the earning from her farm and selling her bullocks. Now Mohsana is the housewife of a well-to-do family and has increased her honour in her society. Last year she elected as the Vice-President of Satata Bahumukhee Unnayan Songastha. Her sons and daughter study in school and at the Madrassa. Her husband does not work as a day laborer. Mohsana is passing her days in happiness.
