Dhanesh Shiv Shakti Agriculture Private Limited

Down in Kohawan, near Khusrupur, life moves at its own pace. Dhanesh Shiv Shakti Agriculture Private Limited is run by people who live right here in Dhanesh Nagar. Dhanesh Kr. handles most of the paperwork, which is a lot for one person sometimes. We are right on the edge of Patna, but it feels like a different world once you get out into the fields. Farming is what we do, and it’s pretty much what everyone around here does too. We decided to make it a proper company because it seemed like the right move for the future. We spend a lot of time talking about fertilizers and the best time to plant. It’s not very exciting for people from the city, I guess, but it’s our life. The village and the post office are right there, so everyone knows everyone’s business. We try to keep things simple. We aren't interested in fancy talk. We just want the crops to grow and the animals to stay healthy. There’s a lot of physical labor involved, and your back hurts by the end of the day. But that is the work. We started this because we wanted a bit more control over how we sell what we grow. It’s hard work, and the money isn't always great, but it’s honest. We just keep at it, day after day, out here in Kohawan.
