Meet Vishnu Kumari Gurung, a determined farmer from Ichchhakamana RM-2, Ghurkesh, whose life has been transformed through modern agricultural practices. Earlier, she relied on traditional farming methods, cultivating seasonal crops only once a year and producing just enough for household needs, while depending on local markets for vegetables.

Her farming potential remained limited due to a lack of technical knowledge and modern techniques. To address this, Sapana Village Social Impact (SVSI), with support from IRHA, provided a comprehensive agricultural support package including a plastic tunnel, green netting, vegetable production training, Jholmol preparation, Trichoderma culture, and nursery management skills.

As a result, Vishnu is now successfully cultivating crops like zucchini inside her tunnel, with harvest expected within 60–90 days and an estimated yield of around 1 quintal (100 kg). This intervention has enabled year-round farming, improved her family’s income prospects, and turned her into a confident, skilled agripreneur.
