MBA pass girl doing farming by giving employment to 100 people, turnover is Rs 1 crore
Dhamtari. Charmudiya is a small village in Kurud block. Smrika Chandrakar, who lives here, maintains a high class life. A luxurious house with modern resources, which has all the comforts and amenities that are available in a luxurious house in any metro city. Your bungalow, your SUV, iPhone and latest version laptop.
From hair style and dressing style to lifestyle and daily work schedule, it is exactly like the CEO of a private company. But you will be surprised to know that Smrika, who has engineering and MBA degrees, is not the CEO of a private company but a farmer from the village. Which is getting a turnover of Rs 1.5 to Rs 2 crore annually through modern farming. Apart from this, he has also provided employment to more than 100 people of his village and nearby areas. Smrika’s father Durgesh Kumar Chandrakar is the elder father of the village. In Chhattisgarh, big farmers are called Dau.
There is immense agricultural land. Which was managed by Durgesh Chandrakar along with his brothers. During this time, Smrika first did engineering and then after taking MBA degree, started working in a big multinational company in Pune. She continued her career there for 4 years. After this she shifted to Raipur and worked in a company there for 4 years. But meanwhile, three years ago, father’s health deteriorated significantly.
Taking care of the farming land built by the ancestors along with the father was also a big task, so Smrika left the job and came home. Today Smrika herself has become a very experienced farmer. A large consignment of about 12 tonnes of tomatoes and about 8 to 9 tonnes of brinjal comes out from Dhara Krishi Farm every day. Which are sent to Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Kolkata, Delhi, Gorakhpur, Banaras, Hyderabad along with the local market.
