My desire is also to expand the apple cultivation commercially and make the surrounding hills greener

When the financial condition of the family weakened, he had to drop out of school at the age of 14 and go to Kalapahar. I went to Shimla in Himachal Pradesh, India in 2054 to earn two or four bucks. Although I was young, I worked there for four years in an apple firm. I went to Shimla to meet the household expenses for my family. But after reaching there, I couldn't do anything other than learn work and make a living.
After not being able to send expenses home, I quit working in an apple firm and started driving. Drove truck in Shimla and other areas for about 8 years . After staying at someone else's place for 12 years and not being able to make any progress, I returned home in 2066 with the intention of doing something in my own village. As soon as I returned home, I bought a six-seater Balero jeep . There was not much profit from that. Since the loss in the business is more than the difficulty of raising a family, I have embraced the skills I learned in India for a few years and started apple farming. They are making a living from this but there is a desire to expand it professionally.
I have been engaged in apple farming for about 8 years in Bangad Kupinde Municipality-9 Jayatpani of Salyan. In the year 2072, I planted 350 apple trees by spending 10 lakhs to dig a hole, arrange irrigation and buy a harvester in 2072 on my own 11 plantation land on a hill near my house at an altitude of about 2,500 meters above sea level. 300 plants have started to bear apples for three years .
My desire is not only to grow apples on 300 plants, but to expand it commercially and cultivate apples in all the surrounding Khurilla hills . Although the nearby Khurilla hill is not my personal property, I am coordinating with the ward to carry out the process for apple cultivation. Let's see if it will be successful or not!
50,000, 150,000 last year and 300,000 last year were earned from apples planted on 11 plantations near home. It costs about 50,000 annually to use laborers for sewage treatment. Now it saves about 250,000 annually. It has made it easy for the family of five people to earn a living, but my wish has not been fulfilled .
Not only cultivating commercial apples in Khurilla Danda, but also showing everyone by cultivating apples that grow in the Himalayas, making them a tourist destination and introducing themselves . Increasing internal tourism by cultivating apples and promoting oneself has been successful. I have emphasized professionalism. I have requested the concerned authorities to expand apple cultivation.
Locals used to cut various things on Khurilla hill to see what apples fell. I didn't give a shit and went ahead with my goal . I dug a hole, collected water from the sky and arranged irrigation . I made arrangements for buying berna, digging holes, and irrigation .
Now, late in the season, apples ripen at night. Locals are surprised to see it ripe at night . He is happy now that he succeeded in getting everyone's attention by changing the Khurilla hill into an apple orchard . During the season of apple ripening, the domestic tourists are busy in visiting the garden, selling ripe apples, and in the basin, they are busy with malajal, godmel . Now I am enjoying it .
I had no desire to leave my parents and go to Shimla in India when I was studying at school at a young age. Since the financial situation of the family was very poor and there was no one to earn, it was not only difficult to earn two bills, but I was forced to go because all the responsibilities were piled on me .
I left Shimla and came back to my village with the intention of doing something. At the age of studying, I started apple farming by absorbing what I learned from working in apple farming. This has not only encouraged me in agricultural work, this apple farming has also made my daily life easier .
