Meet Pratap Chandra Roul: The retired Army man-turned-farmer earning Rs 4 lakh a year from a small dragon fruit farm

Pratap Chandra Roul, a retired Army man, established a successful dragon fruit farm. He learned farming techniques through online resources and chose dragon fruit for its low water needs. Roul invested in a railing system on a small plot, doubling his plant capacity. Initial yields were low, but organic methods improved production significantly. His farm now generates substantial income from fruit and sapling sales.
