But in the year 2017-18, the contact with the Horticulture Department brought a turning point in his life and his enthusiastic participation in his schemes turned his agricultural life upside down. After that, under the guidance of the department, he tried his hand in vegetable vegetable production with determination and started growing gourd, ladyfinger, bitter gourd in his 2 acres of land and obviously it also started getting expected results and presently greens are growing in his fields.
