About
Better food, local jobs and rural production, not only one packaged product.
Bharat Samridhi Udyog develops nutritious, preservative-free food from millets and local ingredients, with an Ayurvedic view of wellbeing. The first offering is intended for households across age groups, with protein and vitamin value.
Work is based at Manav Teerth so manufacturing and employment stay in Bemetara, rather than only in large cities. The product, the training and the community around it are meant to grow together.
Our work
Millets, a recipe line, women’s work and a rural plant.
01 / Food
Millets have long been part of Indian food systems.
They suit local farms and carry nutrition that fits present-day kitchens.
The formulation is preservative-free and drawn from an Ayurvedic understanding of food.
02 / Product development
Research, recipe trials, packaging and operational planning are recorded as done.
The enterprise is now moving to machinery, trial production and market testing.
03 / Livelihoods
Women nearby already know agriculture and food preparation, but often lack structured training and a stable enterprise wage.
Success is measured by livelihoods and skill kept in the village, not only by sales.
04 / Production
Rural production faces thin technical support, long transport and slow machinery service.
The response is local planning and a gradual line, not a sudden city-scale plant.

Next
SHAPE’s recorded early support is about ₹3–4 lakh, used for research, trials, small machinery, packaging and operations. A larger sum is still needed for the manufacturing setup.
Next: install machinery, run trial production, train the local team, test consistency and take the product to a first market.
