But still, there are some farmers who are changing with time and are turning agriculture into a profitable business and are also setting a great example in the society with their significant efforts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sardar Jiyun Singh, father of Khushpal Singh, a farmer based in Punjab\u2019s Maana village of district Sangrur, used to do conventional farming on 22 acres of land.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Being born and brought up in a farmer\u2019s family, Mr. Khushpal Singh\u2019s interest was also towards agriculture. And after the sudden death of his father, all the family and farm\u2019s responsibilities came onto his shoulders. He started growing other crops like mustard, turmeric, paddy, potatoes and maize along with wheat. As time progressed, he also started beekeeping and dairy farming. For beekeeping purposes, he used to take the honey bees to other states and places like Rajasthan, Afghangarh and so on, but after some time due to some reasons, he had to quit the beekeeping business.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Later, he thought of adding something additional to his farming routine. So, he decided to start sugarcane farming. To start with a strong base he gathered all the information from Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Ludhiana and took training from KVK Rauni, Patiala. Steadily and systematically he began taking his steps forward, and from farming sugarcane, he started processing it into jaggery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jaggery prepared by him was liked by everyone. On people\u2019s demand, he also started preparing powdered jaggery and other products. After achieving this small but appreciable milestone, he never turned back and started working hard to fulfill the customers\u2019 demand. People from the nearby village started recognizing him because of his work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><em><strong>\u201cWe use fertilizer in sugarcane farming as recommended by PAU, and the jaggery prepared by the cane juice is completely chemical-free.
