This Infosys employee-turned-farmer has many useful tips for you to take up Natural Farming

After working for Infosys for 15 years, Shankar left his well paid job and became a farmer. He is mainly into dairy farming and uses natural farming.


  • After research of about 6 years, Shankar was determined to begin natural farming, which was based on the findings of PadmShri Subhash Palekar, and a dairy farm with all the modern amenities to supply hygienic milk to his consumers.

  • Apart from the commercial dairy farm, and rubber and areca plantation, Shankar also grows paddy and vegetables with natural farming methods in the rest of the farm for their own consumption.

  • The difference between organic farming and natural farming is that in organic farming you still feed the soil some organic fertilizer, but in natural farming you leave the soil to the nature with very less manual intervention.

  • Hence, natural farming is also called no-work farming.
