About the farmer
Raghuveer Singh
Raghuveer Singh, a 55-year-old resident of village Churdhar, district Sirmaur, Himachal Pradesh. The only occupation he can justify is farming which he is practicing to support his family. He works day and night in his fields but the return of the hard work is really low. His wife, who is about 45 years old, takes care of the house as well as supports her husband at fields. Things will be better soon is the only hope on which they are surviving.
They have 2 children, their daughter is married and 20-year-old son has just completed his studies.
Whatever they get from agriculture is hardly able to fulfil the primary needs, either they can eat or save it to earn some revenue out of it. This makes their survival at stake.
Many applications have been submitted to the government to make their homes permanent, but it went all in vain. Neither they have ever availed any government scheme nor any kind of financial help was provided by the authorities. They are not getting any help from anyone and they are tired of applying for various schemes and benefits plans given by government.
Helping Raghuveer for practicing farming in his fields can decrease his input cost and eventually it will help him to reap more profits.
