Total cultivable land available with the family is approximately 4 ha. Earlier, he used to grow conventional crops like rice, maize, wheat as well as coarse grains, but the low monetary returns induced his family to search options for better returns.

He was convinced by Integrated Farming System to address his problem. He integrated with technical backstopping of KVK on Fishery, horticulture, animal husbandary, vermi-compost, birds rearing and agronomical crops under Integrated Farming line.
