We conduct several programmes to promote well-being in the community.
Ever since our operations began in 2021, we have witnessed a significant rise in the quality of life of our MSME and SME partners, who form our supply chain.
Thanks to the gainful employment opportunities we have created, these individuals have experienced higher incomes, better healthcare and enhanced levels of education.
Their rise constantly inspires us at Matix and we proudly salute their entrepreneurial drive.
Healthcare:
Education:
Women empowerment:
We train women to contribute towards improving their household income through animal husbandry, comprising chicken rearing and duckery techniques.
They are educated on diverse topics including vaccination, nutrition, and timely treatment of birds, reducing the mortality rate and increasing the lifespan of the animals.
We equip women with skills and knowledge in sustainable income-generating trades.
Women Self-Help Groups are trained to procure raw material, standardise products and market them.
We impart training in techniques like appliqué, advanced stitching, kantha stitching and batik printing.
Enabling community health.
Project Dhadkan currently runs community health centres in the Khandari, Khulepda, Dharala, Pondali and Shyamsunderpur villages to help less fortunate families access free health and basic doorstep medical care.
Through Project Dhadkan, villagers can avail both allopathy and homeopathic medical treatment, provided six days a week in rotation to all five villages. The medicine prescribed is provided free of cost.
Enabling bright young minds through education
We have set up Mini-science Centres in three government schools: Panagarh Bazaar School, Debshala High School, and Kanksa High School.
80 tabletop model exhibits have been provided to children with manuals in three languages (Bengali, English and Hindi), to spark scientific enquiry in young minds across subjects including physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics.
We also engage continuously with local Government bodies, Panchayats and schools for specific needs that arise. In the recent past, we have installed high-capacity RO-enabled water filters and coolers in six government schools. We have also upgraded infrastructure in selected schools as well as renovated aanganwadi centers.
Barsha has always been a studious girl. I am illiterate and a school dropout, so our father got us married sooner. But these days, girls are even flying aeroplanes!
Thus, I also dreamt that both my daughters will study hard and stand on their own feet before getting married. I had a brother who was very keen on them studying.
But unfortunately, he passed away in a road accident some years ago. I feel he is blessing both my girls from above. I am extremely thankful to Matix Fertilisers for bestowing this honour on our family.

Dilbahara Khatun is one of the beneficiaries of Project Shakti, Kantha training. She lives with six adults and her two daughters, aged nine and twelve. She looks after her ailing in-laws, while her husband, Ilias Khatun is the sole breadwinner in the family, a tile labourer in the neighbouring regions of Panagarh.
Since this is a seasonal occupation, the family often faces acute financial instability during certain periods of the year.
She was depressed, afraid that her life would never change. But fate had something special in store for her.

Since this is a seasonal occupation, the family often faces acute financial instability during certain periods of the year.
She was depressed, afraid that her life would never change.
But fate had something special in store for her.
Enrolled in Project Shakti, she was a bright learner right from the beginning.
She attended classes regularly and honed her embroidery skills during her free time.
Her intricate finishing ability in embroidery led her to design for her training partner. With sales happening in record time, it was a reversal of fortunes for her.
In the last four to five months, Dilbahara Khatun has earned an average of INR 1000-1500 per month through her Kantha embroidery exploits and she couldn’t be happier.
Dilabahara Khatun: “I gifted a frock this year for the very first time to my 9-year-old daughter on Eid al Fitr. My heart was filled with pride and tears of happiness.
I received Kantha embroidery training from Matix Fertilisers for three months. After the training completed, I started practising on my own.
After 3-4 months, I started receiving orders and completed my first one in December. I designed a beautiful black shawl which everyone appreciated.
My big order came when I completed the embroidery on a Tusar saree. This embroidery took me three whole months. I am extremely thankful to Matix for their constant support and guidance. Now, we can use our free time to earn a livelihood.”

Barsha Bhadra is a 17-year-old girl from Amragarh High School. She scored 673 out of 700 in her exams and thus was chosen as one of the beneficiaries of the ‘Matix Annual Scholarships Program’.
Barsha’s father Sanjib Bhadra has a panipuri stall at Amragarh market which supports his family of five, including his wife, mother and two daughters, all financially dependent on him.
Despite facing many hardships, he wants Barsha and her younger sister to study hard. He strongly believes that education and hard work are the only ways to succeed. Both his daughters are enrolled in the same school.
A sincere student, Barsha never took any external classes. Her hard work and determination have resulted in several accolades.
