Mr.S.Sukhdev Singh

He is from Bhullar bet village in Kapurthala district of Punjab India. He studied up to matriculation and has been practicing agriculture since his childhood. The land he inherited was barren, saline with no irrigation facilities and yielded very little. Under the land reclamation program, he witnessed a tremendous improvement in soil fertility with gypsum application.

Earlier he followed the traditional paddy wheat cropping system. With the improvement in soil fertility, he switched to other crops, such as sugarcane, potato, mustard, and maize, etc. Gradually through sheer hard work his income from agriculture started increasing. Now he cultivates 74 acres of land growing diversified crops. He has become a perfect example of a rags-to-riches success story. He is a successful amalgamation of modern farming using agro technologies, economic prosperity and human values combined with simplicity, thriftiness and knowledge.
