The beneficiaries of the project, who used to beg on the streets of Gangte village, about 12km from Birbhum’s Suri, will now have earnings from selling the produce of the farm.
As day breaks in the village, the men and women can be seen ploughing the land, sowing seeds and adding water to grow pumpkin, gourd, eggplant, ladies finger, spinach and other vegetables on the piece of land that the three friends have bought to start the farm.
Having grown up in the village, basic farming is not new to the group.
They began work in April and have already started getting the yield, with which they now cook their own meals.
