From earning just ₹5000 a year on 6 acres of land to becoming a Padma Shri awardee, Ram Saran Verma’s story is one of resilience, innovation, and transformation. Known today as one of India’s most acclaimed farmers, he has redefined what it means to succeed in agriculture. This episode dives deep into how a school dropout from a small village in Uttar Pradesh empowered farmers across 100 villages and turned farming into a model of entrepreneurship.

India’s farmers form the backbone of the nation, feeding over 1.4 billion people, yet agriculture contributes only ~18% to GDP and most farmers earn less than ₹10,000/month. Ram Saran Ji breaks this cycle by adopting high-yield farming techniques, crop diversification, and mechanization, proving that agriculture can be both sustainable and profitable. His journey is a powerful reminder that farming in India is not backward, it is innovation, leadership, and nation-building.

If you care about food security, farmer success stories, or the future of Indian agriculture, this is a must-watch.
