Abstract:
This is a success story of an innovative organic farmer. Keshar Dev (58) from Athwas village in Fatehpur-Shekhawati Block in Sikar district has set himself as a role model for farmers and braved to make a fortune in such situation through adoption of integrated organic farming. The main factors that have contributed to his success are his interest and passion towards advanced technologies. He is a hard worker who was self-motivated to take up a new initiative for profitable agriculture and allowed other farmers to visit his field from surrounding villages Alafsar, Bagroda, Rinau, Kashwali, Swaroopsar, Hirna and Garinda of Fatehpur and Lakshmangarh Block. He is an example of a successful farmer and has proved that wonders can be done in agriculture if investments are made in the right direction and farmers are equipped with the latest knowledge. Mr. Keshar Dev net income for each hectare is approximately Rs. 1, 87,000 per annum.
