Farmer's Bold Move: From Rented Land to 2 Crore Annual Profit with Okra

• Govind Singh, a 12th-pass farmer from Thei village, Rajasthan, transformed his fate by switching from traditional farming to vegetable cultivation.
• Inspired by his maternal uncle's success with okra on rented land, Govind's family adopted vegetable farming in 2005.
• His family now cultivates 250 acres, including potatoes, okra, brinjal, cabbage, capsicum, and tomatoes.
• They achieve an annual profit of 2 crore rupees by selling fresh produce directly to major markets like Jaipur, Delhi, Agra, and Mathura.
• Govind also launched a small finance company, providing loans up to 1 lakh to needy farmers, empowering over 100 people and stopping village migration.

Why It Matters: A farmer's strategic shift to vegetable cultivation, especially okra, led to 2 crore annual profit and community empowerment.
