His family conditions were deteriorating day by day, as there was no bread earner. They were surviving on the money they were getting from their land rented to the relatives. There were two elder sisters in his family and fulfilling the family needs was becoming very difficult for his mother day-by-day. Due to worsening financial conditions, Angrez Singh received academic qualification until 9th class only and his sisters never went to school.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>After dropping off from the school, Angrez Singh used to spend time with his uncles on their farm and learn some farming techniques from them. Until 1989 the land was rented to relatives, but after that Angrez Singh was big enough to take the responsibility of the family, so, he decided of taking his land back, and start farming on it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>On the behalf of whatever he learned from his uncle and by seeing other farmers of his village, he also started chemical farming. He started earning well and financial conditions of his family were improved. Soon after some time he got married and was living a happy family life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>But in 2006, he got sick and suffered from major health issues. Earlier he used to take this problem lightly but later after getting diagnosed, he came to know that his intestine are swelled up which can lead to serious problem in the future. At that time, many people use to visit him to ask him about his well-being, and someone told him that using chemical in farming is the reason behind your health issues and you should start organic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Although many people told him many things to do, to get cure, but the one thing that knocked his mind hardly was switching to organic. He took this matter very seriously and started organic farming in 2006 with 2.5 acres of land. He grew wheat, vegetables, fruits, lemon, guava, sugarcane and paddy and earned good profit from it. To multiply his profit, he thought of processing his produce on his own and then he started making jaggery out of sugarcane. He adopted manual jaggery processing method as he was starting this venture on his own. In the beginning, he was unsure that how it is going to benefit him, but slowly his village people started liking his jaggery. Slowly the jaggery demand rose up to a level that he started making jaggery on advance booking. After sometime he also established vermicomposting plant at his farm to reap good harvest from homemade manure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He has received many awards, achievements and attended many training camps, and some of them are listed below:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 Participated in District Muktsar Science Fair held between 15 to 18 November in 1979.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Participated in 90 days training of Artificial Insemination organized by Verka Plant Bathinda in 1985.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Attended 3-days-training of Hybrid Seeds Preparation organized by PAU, Ludhiana in 1988.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Received Yog Teacher\u2019s Training Certificate for participating in Patanjali Yog Samiti from 9 July to 14 July of 2009.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Appreciation from the Director of Kheti Baadi Vibhag, Punjab, 28 Sep, 2012.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Participated in Vibrant Gujarat Global Agricultural Summit held at 9 &amp; 10 Sep on 2013.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Appreciation Letter for Natural Farming &amp; Environmental Fair which was help on 26 July, 2013 by Kheti Virasat Mission.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Received appreciation for attending Rabi Crops Farmer Training Camp at state Level- by Agricultural Technology Management Agency (ATMA) on 21st Sep, 2014, Organized by Kheti Baadi Vibhag, Dist.
