Bharathkumar Agri Clinic

If you head to Parra Bardez, you will find Bharathkumar Agri Clinic at number 325 in Bokachi Aradi. We are situated right behind the Parra Church, which is a very famous old building in this part of Goa. You cannot miss the church bells when they go off; they are loud enough to shake the windows sometimes. The road leading to Mapusa is usually quite busy with scooters and tourists taking photos of the palm trees, but our corner is a bit more tucked away. We spend our time helping the local growers with their farming needs. The clinic isn't like a doctor's office for people; it is more of a place where we figure out what is wrong with the crops. We have various supplies piled up against the walls and a heavy wooden table where we do most of our work. The building is older, with thick walls that stay somewhat cool even when the sun is beating down on the street. Often, a neighbor will stop by just to sit for a minute and chat about the rain or the price of coconuts. It is a very informal way of doing things. We don't have a website or a fancy sign out front, just the name on the wall. Working here feels like being part of the history of the village. We just try to be useful to the people who walk through the door.
