From Struggle to Success
A young man from Banka, Chandan Kumar, proved the saying “if you have talent, you don’t need anyone’s support” to be true. He used to struggle to make ends meet by doing labor work, but now he has become a millionaire by earning lakhs through farming, specifically growing bitter gourd.
Farming Journey
Chandan Kumar, who used to work as a laborer in Bengaluru, returned to his village in Katara and decided to start vegetable farming. Despite not having much land, he leased two acres of land from the villagers to start growing vegetables. Over the past six years, he has been consistently growing and selling vegetables, with his latest crop being bitter gourd which is in high demand.
Successful Bitter Gourd Farming
Chandan Kumar shared his farming technique for bitter gourd, where he prepares beds with organic fertilizer and sows seeds at specific intervals. Within 120 days, the bitter gourd starts yielding, and he is able to harvest and sell significant quantities every other day. With a profit potential of up to two thousand rupees per plant, bitter gourd farming has proven to be a lucrative venture for him, earning him up to five lakh rupees in a single season.
