THE FARMER
Born in a farmer family I have memories of visiting my farm at Urali Kanchan and actually see my father cultivating sugarcane year after year . But then as my education progressed I got into the standard route that we normally follow to pursue success in life . Finished my mechanical engineering and then started managing my hotel for almost a decade and a half until I realised that all the verticals that I have inherited should be used well . So I went back to my farm with the intention of doing organic farming of those products that can be used as raw material for my hotel .
As I began my trips to my farm regularly with this purpose did I realise the soothing effect that I experienced by being in connect with the soil . In this rat race of pursuit for success & materialistic pleasures somewhere we had not been In harmony with ourselves is what I realised .
I am the son of the soil and son of a farmer too . By actually doing farming I realise the problems of the farmers The challenges that lie in front . Why innovation is needed , why skill development is a must .
I in my capacity will try me best to learn and also propagate new age organic farming .
This will be a step towards nation building from my end .
Yes I'm a farmer and I'm proud of it .
