Here the number of daughters is 1104 in the ratio of 1000 sons. Dindori district knows how to respect mothers and sisters. Here the sisters are progressive, they are doing the work of conservation of advanced seeds of millets like Kodo-Kutki. They have done the important work of preserving the fertility of the soil by saving a lot of agricultural land of Dindori from the use of chemical fertilisers. The state government is with the farmer sisters in their efforts to improve and develop agriculture in the state.
