Parmeshwar Sonkar: Taking care of people’s health and environment through organic and natural farming

An inspiring story has reached us from Nari, a small village in Chhattisgarh’s Dhamtari district. This is the story of Parmeshwar Sonkar, who is working hard on his one and a half acres of land and earning his livelihood through organic farming.

Organic and natural farming

Parmeshwar Sonkar is not only moving ahead in farming with his hard work and dedication, but is also taking care of both health and environment through organic and natural farming. His farm mainly produces vegetables. But, as we know, farming is not always profitable. Facing losses, worry about crop failure and limited income, all these challenges have been a part of Parmeshwar’s life.

Support of government schemes

Parmeshwar Sonkar says that paddy farming does not generate as much income as a family needs. When there is loss in vegetable farming too, we have to take support of government schemes. Parmeshwar Sonkar has decided to take advantage of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana 2024. Under this scheme, he can get direct financial assistance every year, which will help in improving his farming even more.

But it is not just about financial help. This is the story of every farmer who is working hard despite limited resources, who has made farming not just a profession but his identity.

Beginning of change

Through organic farming, Parmeshwar is not only increasing the fertility of his land, but is also giving healthy options to the society by keeping the products coming out of his fields away from toxic chemicals. His thinking teaches us that change always starts with small steps.

Parmeshwar’s journey is an inspiration for every struggling farmer

Parmeshwar Sonkar’s journey shows his hard work and passion which is an inspiration for every farmer who is struggling to realize his dreams. The story that emerged from this soil of Dhamtari reminds us that every field, every farmer, and every struggle has its own special importance.
