Family Cultivates Tomatoes and Vegetables, Generating Millions

Sunsari. Arjun Chandwanshi of Shrilanka Tappu, Barahakshetra Municipality-9, has engaged his four sons in agricultural work. He has been cultivating vegetables including tomatoes for about two decades and has made agriculture the main source of income for his family.

Tomatoes, cauliflower, beans, and other vegetables are produced in his field throughout the year. Arjun's four sons, Ramvilas, Laxman, Shriram, and Jadulal Chandwanshi, are diligently engaged in agriculture in the same way as their father. "The sons used to say they would go abroad, but I told them I would give them Rs 50,000 in Nepal and not let them go abroad. Now, all the sons can earn lakhs of rupees by staying in Nepal," said Arjun.
