According to Harishankar Choubey, he came to know about the Atal Bhujal Sanrakshit Kheti Shednet Home Program for farmers through the Department of Horticulture and Food Processing. After this, he completed the application for this scheme. After his name was drawn in the lottery, the Shednet Home was completed within two months.

Scheme discount of Rs 17 lakh

According to Harishankar, the shed Shednet Home costing Rs 34 lakh has been constructed by Kisan Agrotech, a firm from Chhattisgarh. In addition, the business has given a five-year guarantee that if something goes wrong, it will continue to provide service for five years. Harishankar contributed Rs 17 lakh out of this, while the government deposited the remaining Rs 17 lakh in the business.

Bumper profit in a single season

According to Harishankar, he sold vegetables worth about Rs 6 lakh, including cost, in a period of four months. The summer season also offers good vegetables. Apart from this, quality vegetables are delivered in Chhatarpur Mandi, Maharajpur Mandi, Naugaon Mandi and Mahoba Mandi.

Cucumber, tomato and brinjal planted

He told me that he has grown the Ankur variety of Desi cucumber, tomato and green brinjal in the shade net. He has also planted onions. Now cucumber is selling well in the market. According to Harishankar, before the shade net was installed, he used to grow arbi in this field.

Advantages of shade net home

The advantage of a shade net home is that it is not affected by storms, and the temperature inside remains low. Additionally, pesticides are also not required, as vegetables do not suffer any damage from insects or moths.
