9 Rural Indians and Their Inspiring Businesses

Bangalore: The father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi said “India lives in Villages and its true spirits lives in rural areas”. Rural India is the real face of India as it includes over 50 percent of the Indian population. There was a time when rural India was pictured as of wrecked villagers, kids with distended bellies and ragged clothes and a future as grim as the fractured, sun-baked earth. But the picture has changed drastically over the past few years which not only equipped the villagers to find a self sufficient way of living but also made rural India a huge consumer market.

Here is a list of few ordinary rural Indians who have set extra ordinary examples through their innovative business initiatives and strong determinations.

1. Mansukhbhai Jagani

Mansukhbhai Jagani invented a motorcycle based tractor that can plow an acre of land in 30 minutes with two liters of fuel. As the tractor is very much cost effective and costs roughly around 16,500 which makes it easier for the Indian farmers to use it. An attachment was added to the motorbike by Mansukhbhai after four to five years of experiment. He further attached a multi purpose tool bar to the bike which is also adjustable with any 325cc motorcycle by replacing the rear wheel with an assembly unit.

The “super plough” bike is named as Buller Shanti as the bike is a cultivator that pulverizes or smoothens the soil and is locally called Santi. The motor cycle based tractor can also perform other farming activities like furrow opening, sowing, inter-culturing and spraying operations.
