Mukesh Manjoo
Organic Farmer
Mukesh Manjoo from Pilani, Rajasthan, used to work as a National Security head at Delhi Airport but in 2018 my father was diagnosed with cancer and due to which I had to take VRS (Voluntary Retirement Scheme). He used to see my grandfather and father practice agriculture for living in my childhood and I became fond of this. I follow the Integrated Farming System, along with crop production. I believe in water conservation and have made space for rainwater harvesting in my field. My brother Pramod Manjoo who worked as a vigilance offer in Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) until 2018, helps me on my farm and has always shown full support. My main focus was to go for different crops which could generate regular income. So along with seasonal crops, I also grew crops which stay in high demand throughout the year.
