OUR STORY & MISSION

Rooted in Purvanchal.

Built for the indigenous cow and the rural farmer.

Founded in 2020 in Sikhar, Mirzapur, SVKK is building India's largest women-led circular bioeconomy. We combine indigenous A2 dairy with sustainable soil nutrition inputs.

OUR STORY

Turning farm waste into rural wealth

In 2020, we started in Sikhar with a simple observation: chemical fertilizers were depleting eastern UP's soil while farm biomass and cow dung were going to waste. By organizing village women into self-help groups, we created a decentralized network to produce lab-certified vermicompost and biochar, while providing fresh A2 cow milk to Varanasi and Mirzapur.

CIRCULAR BIOECONOMY
Women farmers working with soil and vermicompost

SVKK's cluster-based model places production in women-led SHG units. We train them, standardise and test what they make at our Common Facility Centre, and connect it to buyers. Turning cow and farm waste into soil inputs keeps that waste out of the environment and pays the women who make it.
