New Delhi. Everybody had different experiences during Covid-19 pandemic. It was a difficult phase for the world and a life changing phase for many people. This time also helped many people to explore their passion. Similar is the story of a school teacher in a village of Jaipur district Karansar in Rajasthan, Suresh Yadav.

When stuck to stay in home with a lot of time during lockdwon, Suresh Yadav explored the art of running a nursery garden and converted his crop field of 10 acres into a garden and created a Nursery Garden Business Plan single handedly.

This started from a small nursery of just 40000 plants. “I then thought the idea of planting saplings in the field.  On ten acres of land, I prepped the soil and began digging pits in it.   Along with gooseberry, guava, pomegranate, lemon, and 200 plants of chakia amla, he added.

He irrigated these plants and prepared the manure himself. People in his neighborhood also started converting the fields into gardens after taking a hint from his business concept.

“I did not produce for a year, focusing only on their growth. The following year, I received roughly 5 kilograms of Thai apple berry bags, which were burned in the winter.  These mistakes taught me a lot. Our amla plants should start producing next year. No one helped me with this but my brother Jitendra Kumar Yadav. After I got home from school in the evening, I myself watered this garden, he claimed.

“I prepared the fertilizer using water, and right now I’m preparing to begin growing lemons, which I’ll do when millet is harvested. I used to grow cluster beans and millets in the past. People in the village have either relocated to cities or begun gardening as a result of the current water shortage.  Additionally, they were dissatisfied with conventional farming.
