But still, today, if we ask the youngsters about their future plan, then very few, will be there who will say farming or agribusiness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>A 26-year-old boy from Harnampura, Ludhiana- Khushdeep Singh Bains, who after working for 2 years in two different companies decided to switch to farming, and today he is growing only vegetables in 28 acres of land.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Well, what made Khushdeep leave his good-earning comfortable job and start farming? It was Khushdeep\u2019s interest towards agriculture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Khushdeep Singh Bains comes from a family background where his father- Mr. Sukhwinder Singh, mainly used to do real estate work, and for home purpose wheat and paddy farming on a small scale. Khushdeep\u2019s father always wanted his son to do a comfortable job where he will be given a chair and desk to work, he never thought of making his son work in the sun and soil. But when Khushdeep quit his job and started farming at that time his father was completely against his decision, because in his perception, farming is an occupation which needs huge labour and it is not a work that qualified and literate people should do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>But to change any negative opinion you just need a powerful positive result, and this is what Khushdeep came up with.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #f0690e;\"><strong>How it started\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>When Khushdeep was working in Eastman at that time he used to prepare seedlings and this is when he was more attracted towards farming. After working for 1 year and 8 months he switched his job and started working with UPL Pesticides, but there also he only survived for 2-3 months. He was not satisfied with his work and he wanted to do something more. So, after working for 2 years in Eastman and UPL- Pesticide Company, Khushdeep decided of starting vegetable farming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>He started with pumpkin, ridge gourd and okra by planting it in half acre each, he used pesticides and the harvest was more than his imagination. Slowly he started expanding the farming area and vegetable types. He started growing every type of vegetable, whether it is in-season or out-of-season. He also signed the contract with Pagro Foods Ltd. for pea and sweetcorn farming and gained huge profit from them. Later on, in 2016, he planted paddy, beans, potato, onion, garlic, peas, capsicum, cauliflower, mung beans, and basmati turn wise on the same land.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Along with farming, Khushdeep also started preparing seeds and seedlings of garlic and many other crops and this side work benefited him a lot. From last three years, he is displaying his seed preparation work in PAU Ludhiana Kisan Mela and is getting an overwhelming response every time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today Khushdeep\u2019s father and mother, both are proud of their son\u2019s achievements. Khushdeep himself is very happy with his work and is also encouraging other farmers toward it. Currently, he is making a good profit from vegetable farming and his future plan is to start his own nursery and food processing business.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Message to farmers:<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"color: #27c42f;\">\u201c<\/span><\/em><em><span style=\"color: #27c42f;\">Farmers shouldn\u2019t be dependent on the third person for their marketing, they should do their work on their own. There is one more thing that farmers should keep in mind and that is they should never follow anything by seeing anyone, they should do what they feel from inside.<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"color: #27c42f;\"> The farmer should also think about doing diversified farming and they should grow more than one crop because in case one crop gets damage then at least there is the second crop to support you.
