Millionaires, farmers earning crores: Farming has become a profession where no matter how hard you do, you will not be able to earn enough every year. That’s why many people are leaving the village and turning to the cities. All farmers are becoming watchmen and daily wage laborers. But there are farmers millionaires in a village in our country. Every person in that village is earning crores by growing vegetables. They are running a business of Rs 16 crore. Here 300 families are sharing a business of Rs 16 crore. The reason for his success is modern agricultural methods adopted by him.
Palakkad district of Kerala has a small village named Elevenchary. There are 300 families living in that village. They all grow vegetables. If you go to Elevenchary village, you will see lush green fields. About 30 types of vegetables are grown there. Every year 5 tonnes of vegetables from here go to the surrounding areas.
In 1996, a self-help Kisan Sangh started here. All the people of the village joined that union. From sowing crops to reaching it to the market, all the villagers do all the work together. They do not resort to middlemen. They bear the expenses themselves. They are equally borne by profit and loss. That is why no farmer drowns in debt. All farmers have the same loan. Landless farmers grow more vegetables by leasing the land from others.
There is no dependence on chemicals here. Vegetables are sold at higher prices because they are grown in a biological way. Soil is already checked. Vegetables are selected and cultivated according to the condition of land and soil. There is no harm. All the young farmers here are farmers. Profits have also increased due to the arrival of youth in cultivation.
Even today, more than 52 percent of families in our country depend on agriculture for their livelihood. But many of them are living in losses. If such people go ahead by considering this village as an example, then the income of farmers will definitely increase.
