“It was one of the most ecstatic feelings ever. It had been 3 years since I quit my B-tech, but I felt the transition was turning out to be fruitful,” Neeraj Prajapat quips.
Back to the roots: How this B-tech dropped out student named Neeraj Prajapati turned as a farmer and helped farming community to embrace organic farming and GAP in India through his cycle tours across different regions of the country.
A few years later, he bought a bicycle from his savings. After undertaking a great deal of research, he began exploring different places of research institutes, colleges as well as villages.
After carrying out organic farming and GAP for 3 years, he gained the confidence to train other farmers in the nearby districts of Haryana. He started training the farmers, and now the number stands at more than 10,000. Not only did Neeraj teach them the techniques of organic farming, but also devised marketing channels and selling points for their produce. Today, all these farmers are not only getting to earn more but are also producing more with limited resources.
