One man's efforts to improve agriculture has helped thousands of farmers in greening their land.
Agriculture may no longer hold a pre-eminent position in India’s gross domestic product (GDP) calculations, but 60 percent of the population depends on it for employment and subsistence. The sector is one of the biggest laboratories of experiments and innovations, and one such innovator is Sundaram Verma. He belongs to the Danta village, located 50 kms from Sikar district of Rajasthan, India.
Born in a family of astute farmers, he was a keen student and devoted his time to learning than sports. When the time came to take up his family profession, he brought with him years of formal knowledge gathered at schools and college, and married it with age-old family wisdom. The results were very encouraging and added to the reputation of the family. However, the innovative miracle he was aiming for happened due to an inadvertent delay.
