From Running a Tea Stall to Farming
Dheeraj Kumar, a resident of Sahugadh in Madhepura district, used to run a tea and breakfast stall near the Saharsa court. However, due to road widening, his shop was destroyed. Afterward, he started farming. One day, he visited the agricultural office in Madhepura for some work. Upon learning about Bharat’s predicament, the then agricultural officer Rajan Balan immediately suggested that he set up a Litti stall in front of the agricultural department. He also provided some money. This assistance from the officer changed Bharat’s life. From being dependent on every single rupee, Bharat now earns more than two thousand rupees every day. All the staff members of nearby offices also enjoy Bharat’s Litti.
Assistance from the Agricultural Officer
Bharat revealed that he had been running the breakfast stall for a long time, but it was destroyed due to road widening in Saharsa. After that, he started farming. However, he couldn’t make a profit as he didn’t own any land. When he contacted the former district agricultural officer in Madhepura, he received significant support. He was given 2000 rupees to open a shop. Now, Bharat earns more than two thousand rupees every day. He says that Rajan Balan is no less than a god for him. Not only that, he instructed his office staff to eat only Bharat’s Litti.
Specialty of Bharat’s Litti
Bharat’s Litti is unique because it is made without using refined flour. He mentioned that people prefer Litti made from whole wheat flour. They prepare Litti with pure gram flour along with wheat flour. Staff members from nearby offices come here and enjoy Litti from morning till evening. Bharat sells a plate of Litti for 10 rupees. He also provides chola or potato curry and raw onions to accompany the Litti. According to Bharat, he now earns an income of 2 to 3 thousand rupees every day, which has brought happiness to his family.
