What Is ONDC and How Does It Work?
ONDC (Open Network for Digital Commerce) is an open-source platform initiated by the Government of India to dismantle the monopolistic structures of traditional e-commerce giants. Much like how UPI revolutionized digital payments, ONDC is designed to unbundle the e-commerce ecosystem, allowing sellers and buyers to connect freely across multiple platforms.

Instead of being confined to one marketplace like Amazon or Flipkart, sellers on ONDC can list their products once and reach buyers across multiple buyer apps, such as Paytm, Magicpin, Ola, Meesho, Craftsvilla, and others — all connected through a common open network.

Here’s how it works:

A Seller Network Participant (like iLANDLO) onboards local sellers and publishes their listings on the ONDC network.

Buyer Network Participants (e.g., Paytm, Ola) allow customers across India to discover and purchase these listings.

Logistics and payment services are also integrated into the network, ensuring smooth delivery and transactions.

Every participant (seller, buyer, logistics provider) can plug into the network independently and still interoperate seamlessly.

Long before written history touched the hills of Nagaland, the Naga tribes lived closely with nature — hunting in dense forests, farming on terraced slopes, and preserving food with nothing but instinct, tradition, and time.

Among these early discoveries was Axone — the fermented soybean.

It wasn’t found in a laboratory. It was born in bamboo huts, where our ancestors, with limited resources and sharp observation, discovered that boiled soybeans, when wrapped in banana leaves and stored in a warm corner, began to change. The beans softened, darkened, and emitted a strong, earthy aroma. What some might have thrown away, the Nagas tasted — and found it delicious.

Over time, this accidental fermentation became intentional. Every household began preparing Axone — each with its own method, flavor, and secret timing. In the cold winter months when fresh vegetables were scarce and meat had to be preserved, Axone brought depth, flavor, and warmth to the Naga meal.

🌾 Paddy Farming in Shamator: Where Hills Grow More Than Rice
In the highlands of Shamator, where the clouds kiss the mountains and the rivers sing through deep valleys, paddy farming is not just a livelihood — it’s a way of life, rooted in the soul of the people.

Here, every grain of rice carries a story.

A story of hands that rise at dawn, walking through mist-covered slopes with baskets on their backs and hope in their hearts. A story of terraced fields carved into hillsides, not by machines, but by generations of perseverance and ancestral knowledge.

Farming here is no easy task. The land is steep, the rain is unpredictable, and sometimes nature is unforgiving — floods wash away months of labor, landslides silence the song of the sickle. But the people of Shamator don’t give up.

They adapt. They rebuild.
They till their dreams back into the soil — sometimes with a borrowed machine, sometimes with just their bare hands.

Modern tools are slowly finding their way into these quiet hills. Power tillers gifted through small government schemes become shared lifelines, turning struggle into opportunity. Yet even with these changes, the heartbeat of farming here remains deeply human.

The rice harvested in Shamator is not just food —
It is sweat, memory, survival, and gratitude.
