Bihar Farmer's Bamboo Revolution: Plant Once, Earn Millions for 100 Years!

• Shankar Kumar Yadav, a 60-year-old farmer from Araria, Bihar, transformed his finances by switching to bamboo farming.
• He earns millions annually from profitable bamboo varieties like Jaabh, Haroth, Maukhla, and Banbas, used in furniture and construction.
• Bamboo farming requires minimal care (no fertilizer, water, or animal grazing worries) and yields for 100 years after a single planting.
• Saplings are planted in monsoon (March-May) or winter (Nov-Jan), taking 3-4 years to mature, then harvested annually for continuous income.
• Yadav cultivates on half an acre, sells processed bamboo for over 100 rupees per piece, and highlights its environmental benefits.
