Three years ago, when Ajbot Ali (62), a farmer and a father of four decided to develop a commercial horticulture nursery in Laheswari Char, his fellow farmers raised eyebrows. “Land in a char is fertile, and I was clueless about growing a horticulture nursery, but my friend gave me the idea that by planting different horticulture crops, I can earn for many years from the same plot of land by just nurturing the plants” Ali says.
