And by coming in account with this 64 year-old-man, Mohan Singh, every positive though about passion seems true. From the last 2 years this retired man, Mohan Singh, is spending his every single moment to fulfil his childhood passion of farming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">After serving BCAM for more than three decades, Mohan Singh finally got retired in 2015 as a GM (General Manager) from the organization, and then he decided to step in the soil to accomplish those dreams that was left undone and buried somewhere in the back of his heart.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Coming from an educated background where his father was in military, Mohan Singh was never confined to career choices, he had the freedom to follow his dreams. In his childhood years, Mohan Singh got so much influenced towards farming that he himself was not aware of.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">While growing up, Mohan Singh, often use to visit his small 5 acres family farm where his family use to grow wheat, paddy and some seasonal veggies for home consumption. But as he grew up, his life got more complex, confined between limited space of education system, job responsibility and later on family responsibilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">After getting retired, in 2015, Mohan Singh joined a part time job as a consultant in Prakash Iron Foundry, Agra; he use to visit there once or twice a month. In the same year, 2015, he took his first step towards his childhood desire and he started preparing nursery of black onion and chilli.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He began with 100 soil beds, and slowly expanded the area up to 200 soil beds and then he expanded it in 1 acre with 1000 soil beds. He started marketing his products through on-road stalls. He got good response in return which inspired him to start preparing vegetable nursery also. To take his venture up to the next level he started contract farming with a person in which he started growing late variety of chilli through which he earned more profit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Black onion is the main crop which fetched him great profit than the older variety of onions because it decays at slower rate due to which its storage life is increased. With the help of few worker he manages his whole farm and also work as a consultant with Prakash Iron Foundry. He has all the modern implements like tractor, harrow, tiller, and leveller at his farm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Though, Mohan Singh\u2019s journey in farming started a while ago, but his selection for quality seeds and standardise schedule for compost lead him to great success and satisfaction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Currently Mohan Singh is living a happy farmer life in his village Devinagar Abrawan of Mohali and expanding his reach in the agriculture sector to purse sustainable agriculture in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">For Mohan Singh, living with his wife, two well settled sons (one is veterinary doctor and another is working successfully in the electronics field), their wives and children, farming was never a burden, he enjoys farming. He also rears 3 Murrah Buffaloes for house hold purpose and his son who is a veterinary doctor helps him taking care of them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Message:<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #27c42f;\">&#8220;Farmers should adapt new environment friendly technologies and join groups which can help them succeed in agriculture sector, rather than depending upon the subsidy. Farmer should also adopt modern farming allied activities along with crop cultivation if they want to earn double benefit and manage their finances at the time of crop loss.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">This aged retired man is an icon for millions of youth, who are running behind the glittering life of city.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read Full Story<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3534,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[309,1670,1674,1673,1349,1669,1671,385,122,1672],"class_list":["post-3533","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-small-with-image","tag-apni-kheti","tag-black-onions","tag-chilli","tag-devinagar-abrawan","tag-mohali","tag-mohan-singh","tag-nursery-prepration","tag-progressive-farming","tag-punjab","tag-vegetable-seedlings"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
