Dayanandamurthy R A

Dayanandamurthy R. A, a thriving senior progressive farmer, hails from Deva Marikunte, Challakere taluk of Chitradurga district. Initially aspiring to become a sub-inspector, he moved to Bangalore after completing his degree. To sustain himself, he worked as a security guard at Taj Westend Hotel. Despite being a skilled gymnast, he quickly realized that policing wasn't his calling. One fateful day, his curiosity led him to a horticulture fair, altering the course of his life. Recognizing the value of agricultural land, Dayanandamurthy wasted no time, boarding a bus from Sida Bangalore to Bengadi, a hot and sunny area. Undeterred, he fearlessly embraced farming, combining forest, fruit, and vegetable cultivation, along with poultry and sheep-goat farming, on a single plot of land. His remarkable achievements have earned him numerous awards and recognition.
