About Fateh Agro Farm

I am Karamjit Singh Bhangu from Kansuha Kalan village of Nabha Tehsil in Patiala District. I started farming in 2011. In the beginning, I used to do organic farming of cereals, pulses, grains only for home consumption but slowly I expanded the organic farming area. And after observing the results I turned towards organic farming for commercial purpose also. Along with vegetable cultivation, I also started nursery preparation of chili, tomato, capsicum, and some other vegetable.

I dropped my studies just after 12th and got married soon after it, due to some family circumstances; I also had the opportunity to go abroad and start my life from a new beginning again, but I chose to stay back with my grandparents. With the time I gained experience and exposure towards farming. I understood the right farming practices and boycotted insecticides and pesticides completely. Today, I am happy with what I am doing. In 2017, I thought of trying my luck in floriculture, so, I intercropped Marigold with Gladiolus; the yield was good and I earned good profit from it. Recently, I have also planted 200 fruit trees of Kinnow, Pomegranate, Guava, Apple, Loquat, Lemon, Java Plum, Pear and Mango in my farm. I have my own on-farm-market through which I am earning well. Premdeep Kaur is my wife and she supports me the most in my work, she helps me in labour and harvesting process, and I manage the marketing part.

SUCCESS STORY & MESSAGE

FUTURE PLAN

Currently, my whole farm is equipped with drip irrigation system and pack-house for vegetables. For marketing, I will be following farm-to-home concept in which I will deliver fresh insecticides free vegetables to home and I have also established an on-farm-market through which I am earning well. In future I wants to focus on guava orchards.

MESSAGE TO FARMERS

Committing suicide is not the solution. Farmers have to come out of the conventional cycle of farming, only then they can achieve success in long run. Moreover, farmers have to understand the importance of our Mother Nature and they should work towards saving water and soil.
