farming in half acre
Vandana Singh, a resident of Mirzapur, is cultivating dragon fruit and strawberries on half an acre of land in her village. Vandana is earning thousands of rupees every month from this work while taking care of her house.
This journey started as a housewife. Free from work, Vandanaal used to watch videos on her smart phone. From there got the idea of dragon fruit and strawberry farming. To get more information about this, Vandana turned to the Agriculture Department.
After getting technical help from the Agriculture Department, he started dragon fruit farming on half an acre of land and earned an income of Rs 5 lakh in a single year. When this farming became successful, he also made up his mind to grow strawberries and turmeric and got even better yields.

make your own plants
After taking good profits from dragon fruit cultivation, Vandana Singh has now expanded her farm. Now she is also preparing plants in the nursery from the cuttings of dragon fruit plants. Stone pillars, iron wire and cow dung manure are being used for dragon fruit cultivation, although there was no significant profit in the first-second year of this farming, but in the third year the profit increased from hundreds to thousands. Vandana says that today the dragon fruit plants prepared in the nursery are being sold for Rs. On the other hand, dragon fruit fruits are being exported to Varanasi at the rate of Rs 400 per kg.
Manages farm and barn along with the house
After taking a profit of 5 lakhs from Dragon Fruit, Vandana Singh says that this has been possible only with the help of YouTube’s Idea and Horticulture Department.

Today, Vandana Singh has received many honors and awards for her better performance in dragon fruit cultivation. Now Vandana has also turned to turmeric cultivation for additional income.
