Success Story: Every person has a dream in his mind to read and work abroad. Where he has a package in millions, but we will introduce you to a person who left a good job of 2 lakh rupees in Germany and returned to his homeland in India and came here and learned to make Amla and Millets products and is selling gooseberry laddus today. (Report: Hemant/ Pali)
We are talking about young farmer Ashok Kumawat, who used to work to train robots in Germany. The difference is that till yesterday, Ashok himself was working with others and today he is providing employment to 25 to 30 people along with him. Also, when it was started, it was around 25 lakh turnover, which has reached more than one crore today.
Ashok Kumawat told Local18 that after engineering from a university in Jodhpur, he went to Egypt. Then reached Germany from there. Here about 6 months, a robot trainer worked. Every month, 2 lakh rupees were paid. But, the desire to do something new for your loved ones pulled me back to the village.
He told Local18 that Dad handles the work of farming. I knew the story of Amla from the beginning. Recognizing the increasing demand for Amla products after the infection of Kovid-19, I decided to start a startup in this area. Got training to make Amla and Millets products from Kajri. To start your enterprise, he also took a loan of 25 lakh rupees from the bank under the Pradhan Mantri Swarozgar Yojana.
Ashok Kumawat says that the enterprise started from the farm. However, in view of the transportation expenses, all the machines used for processing were installed by purchasing a plot in Jodhpur industrial area. After this, the work gradually gained momentum. Please tell that Ashok started his startup in the year 2020.
Significantly, during a program, former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has also honored young Ashok Kumawat. The family has 35 bighas of land. One thousand trees in 10 bighas of area are planted with gooseberry. The garden is 14 years old. He informed that 80 thousand quintals of gooseberry are produced annually. However, the price gets 8-10 rupees a kg.
He said that after this startup, Amla, selling Rs 10 kg from various products made amla, is being sold at a price of Rs 200-250 per kg. Apart from this, 450 plants of lemon and 400 trees are planted in the garden. There is a well for irrigation. In traditional crops, I produce onion, wheat, cotton, military.
