Vegetable cultivation in the paddy field, which is not enough to eat for 6 months when planting food crops, earns in the village like abroad
After completing class 12, many went abroad, only a few continued their studies. The attention of 28-year-old Bimal and 26-year-old Saroj Acharya brothers of Sandhikhark Municipality-9 Argha Bhirakteri turned to Pakhebari instead of abroad.
They have opened Acharya Saroj Agricultural Farm with 10 seedlings and grown cucumbers, golbheda, ghirula, greens, beans and other vegetables inside and outside plastic tunnels.
"When this Pakhobari was planted year-round, it was barely enough to eat for 6 months," said Saroj, "we plowed, made soil, and after hard work, vegetables have been produced well." Vegetables have reduced the cost of eating for a year and have also saved the bank.
Vegetables here are sold in the Chutrabensi and Sandhikhark markets of the headquarters, which are about half an hour away. They are carried by buses, jeeps, trucks and taxis that run every twelve months. In the surrounding villages including Bhirakteri, the youth of the age group of the Acharya brothers are like zero . Studying and working abroad.
Being abroad, there is a wave of people camping in the city after leaving the village to educate their children . "When we were young, the corn, wheat, millet, mustard and other grains growing in the barren fields used to support the family's food expenses, now many people have left this and migrated to the city to live on rent," he said. Now that same village is attracted by the agricultural work we have done.' He said that the success in agriculture has been achieved for the past five years.
According to Acharya, the money earned by reaching Khadimuluk can be earned from Kutokodalo. "The barren fields have been damaged so badly, the yield is reduced when local seeds are planted," he said, "The soil has been damaged and dry with urea fertilizer." We had to work hard to make good production with dung manure. Now, the demand comes from the market before the cucumber fruits grow big.
Bimal said that there is a lot of demand from the market for vegetables produced in a cold place in cow dung manure without using pesticides. "You don't need to carry vegetables in your bag, they will be taken by car," he said, "You don't need to run to collect money, it will come to your bank account and wallet." Suffering in his soil, he will go to travel abroad.'
He said that by playing in the soil with his family, he will earn like abroad. "In this season, there are cucumbers, beans, ghiroulos, lamb and other vegetables in the tunnel and outside," he said.
Their argument is that if they produce by estimating when and what vegetable is grown, it will sell well and easily in the market, then they do not need much land. Dry vegetables are sold more expensive than in winter. In Barkha, not only sandhikhar market but also export to Tarai . They say that whatever they produce can be easily sold if there is a transport facility, so they are encouraged to cultivate.
