It takes a great deal of courage to forsake one’s four-years worth of degree (sometimes even more) and well-paying jobs to pursue something as basic as farming.

Farming too can be quite rewarding - both mentally and financially.

This engineer was once a farm labourer and belongs to a village where daughters are considered a curse. But his 6 daughters are excelling in various fields, right from politics to law enforcement, and a son is an engineer-turned-farmer with a turnover of crores.

Harish Dhandev, a 24-year-old engineer, left his government job in 2013 and started aloe vera farming. Today, he is the owner of a company with a turnover in crores.
