In the green heart of Tikrikilla, Meghalaya, a quiet but powerful movement began—rooted in faith, cooperation, and the belief that every tribal person deserves dignity, equality, and opportunity. That movement is Muktidata Multipurpose Cooperative Society (MMCS), and its living expression today is Megh Farm.
MMCS was founded on 10th October 2015 with just 20 courageous women who dared to dream of a better future for their families and communities. What began as a small cooperative has today grown into a strong family of 3,800 members.
Registered under No. T-3 of 2017–2018, MMCS stands as a symbol of grassroots leadership and people-driven development.
The cooperative was founded and is guided by Rev. Fr. Benoy Joseph, Founder and Managing Director. The leadership of Smt. Wilna Marak, the First President, and Smt. Nelco Sangma, the First Secretary, laid a strong foundation of integrity, women’s leadership, and collective responsibility.
Every tribal person is entitled to live with dignity and equality in a safe and secure environment.
To build a peaceful, economically self-sufficient, and sustainable democratic tribal society, grounded in harmony, mutual respect, and shared growth.
A historic milestone was achieved with the inauguration of the Megh Farm Processing Hub at Khamari on 10th February 2024 by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Meghalaya, Shri Conrad K. Sangma, in the presence of Hon’ble MP Smt. Agatha K. Sangma, Hon’ble MLAs Shri Jimmy D. Sangma and Shri Lemison D. Sangma, Hon’ble MDC Shri Dormonath Sangma, and Deputy Commissioner Shri Jagadish Chelani.
Nokma Ice Cream is one of the most loved ice cream brands in Meghalaya, made using locally sourced fruits and reflecting tribal pride.
Megh Farm processes Pineapple, Passion Fruit, Jackfruit (Vietnam variety), and Litchi using scientific and ethical practices.
Through collective farming initiatives, 1,500 farmers were supported with passion fruit, banana, and Vietnam jackfruit planting materials.

It all started when a visionary Cleric looked at the lush, green hills of Meghalaya, overflowing with
nature's bounty, and thought, "Why keep all this goodness a secret?" And just like that,
MEGHFARM was born!
