The Green Gold of Punjab's Farmlands

Ludhiana, Punjab — the heartland of Indian agriculture — is famous for its wheat and paddy. But farmer Harpreet Singh has added a new crop to his fields: vermicompost. And it is earning him more than any single harvest ever did.

For years, Harpreet's fields depended heavily on chemical fertilisers. Soil fertility was falling and input costs were climbing. Determined to change course, he turned to GREEN INDIA AGRO FARMING's vermicompost programme.

A Profitable New Enterprise

• Set up six vermicompost beds on a small patch of his farm
• Uses paddy straw and cow dung — waste that was earlier burned
• Produces 8 tonnes of vermicompost every month
• Earns a steady ₹50,000 per month from compost sales

Stopping Stubble Burning, Saving the Soil

"Every winter we used to burn paddy straw, filling the air with smoke and damaging our own soil," Harpreet says. "Now that straw feeds my worms and becomes valuable compost. We breathe cleaner and earn more."

His vermicompost is in high demand among vegetable farmers, fruit orchard owners and organic nurseries across Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh.

More Than Money

1. His wheat and vegetable yields have risen by 25–30%
2. His soil is softer and retains water better
3. He has stopped buying chemical fertilisers altogether
4. His son now plans to expand the unit and start organic vegetable farming

A Model for All Indian Farmers

Harpreet's story has inspired neighbouring villages. He regularly hosts farmers and shares his experience freely. "Vermicompost farming is the best decision I ever made. Any farmer with a little land can do it," he advises.
