Avi Kheth

Avi Kheth is located at Sy. No. 236/A1/1 in Pargi village. We are out in the Ranga Reddy district, and it’s mostly just us and the land here. Farming is what we know and we have been at it for a long time. The days start early when the air is still a bit cool, before the sun really hits the fields. We grow different things depending on the season and what the soil is doing. It’s not an easy job and your back usually hurts by the end of the day. We don’t have a fancy office or some corporate headquarters, just the shed and the fields. Some years are better than others, usually depending on if the rain comes when it is supposed to. We spend a lot of time fixing the tools and making sure everything is ready for planting or harvest. It’s a quiet life in Pargi Mandal, and we like it that way. You won’t find any big slogans here, just people working in the dirt. My cousins and a couple of neighbors help out when things get busy. We have seen the area change a bit over the years, but the work stays pretty much the same. It’s honest and it keeps us busy from dawn until we can't see anymore. We just do our best with what we have and keep the farm going year after year. It is just home for us and how we live.
