About:
My name is Dhayal Shankar and I am the Executive Project Manager at Intellect Design Arena Limited. Am better known as Dhayal and love playing badminton and have a passion for agriculture. I have a farm in a village called Poolathur near Kodaikanal and cultivate Coffee, Orange, Avacoda, and Pepper. I feel very strongly about making a difference to the lives of these young farmers (most of them come from families where the father has succumbed to the stress of trying to make ends meet and has committed suicide).
The fact that raising INR 1L will provide them with skills for a lifetime is something I can relate too. This will impact not just them but their household and village as these individuals will become change agents. Over a period of time they will completely transform how agricultural is practiced and be able to ensure yields and income are significantly better. This is how transformations start.
