Haryana Professor Turns Polyhouse Farming into Crore‑Earning Business
Dr Jaipal Tanwar used to teach in Haryana.
In 2014 he left his job to grow flowers and vegetables in special greenhouses called polyhouses.
He now runs 50 acres of leased land and makes about Rs 1.5 crore a year.
He also hires 48 workers.
He started by fixing old, abandoned polyhouses and then began leasing them for long periods so he could invest in better equipment and plants.
The Haryana government helps farmers with subsidies, but many still give up.
Dr Tanwar’s business shows how smart farming can bring big profits.
Dr Jaipal Tanwar left a teaching post in 2014 to start polyhouse farming.
