JAISALMER (Web Desk) – An Indian man quit his job and started cultivating aloe vera and other crops on his 120-acre farmland.
According to The Times of India report, Harish Dhandev had a government job but was not gratified.
Hailing from a family of farmers, he wanted to practice something different. At one time, he visited an Agri expo in Delhi and that proved a turning point in his lifetime.

He has also opened his own company ‘Naturelo Agro’ at Dhaisar, 45 km from Jaisalmer. Aloe vera grown in the Thar Desert is being supplied in huge quantity to food making companies.
