Over the personal prosperity that would have followed him by taking up farming as profession, Prabhakar Bhosle chose to utilise his agricultural expertise for the benefit of countless farmers in the state. Rather than limiting himself to the plough, he decided to pick up the pen and use it for the betterment of the society that he came from.
After having worked as an agricultural assistant in the Agronomy department at Pune’s Agriculture college for 14 years, completing his Bachelors in Arts degree side by side, going back to his family business of farming was an obvious choice for Bhosle. But he went a step ahead and thought of nourishing the roots he came from. Having come from a farming background, I was aware of the state of farmers in Maharashtra. Nearly 65 percent of the citizens of our country are farmers and are unfortunately the most neglected sectionof the society. And at that point, I felt that the only way of making them strong was to make them knowledgeable, says Bhosle.
