Dhakad Chief Minister is converting unemployed youth into Successful Industralist and Businessmen!
The village of Phaldakot in Devbhoomi Uttarakhand is currently making headlines across the country. That’s because a young man from the village, Naveen Patwal, has proven top scientists wrong by successfully cultivating the world’s most expensive mushroom, *Gucchi*, on barren land in the village. Following this achievement, he is being recognized and appreciated nationwide.
Take a look at this report:
In Phaldakot village of Pauri district, Uttarakhand, Naveen Patwal has successfully carried out commercial cultivation of *Gucchi* mushrooms. Since then, he has become a topic of widespread discussion. It’s worth mentioning that until now, even top scientists had failed to cultivate this mushroom commercially. Despite this, Naveen Patwal has managed to do so in a village of Uttarakhand, and as a result, he is being widely celebrated in the region. For your information, Naveen Patwal is an IT professional who had been working on cultivating *Gucchi* mushrooms commercially for a long time. He knew that if he succeeded, it would be the first time in India’s history.
Meanwhile, village head Vijay Darshan shared that a few years ago, Naveen Patwal decided to leave behind the glitter of city life and return to his village. He chose to try his luck in mushroom farming, and today, he has succeeded in cultivating a mushroom that even top scientists have been unable to grow until now. This is the first time that *Gucchi* mushrooms have been successfully cultivated inside a polyhouse — something Naveen Patwal achieved through his hard work, right in the soil of his village.
Vijay Darshan further explained that Naveen had made an attempt to grow *Gucchi* mushrooms two years ago as well, but was unsuccessful. However, he never gave up and continued working tirelessly toward this goal. Today, the results of his perseverance are clearly visible.
Impressed by his achievement, renowned mushroom scientist Dr. Manjeet Singh personally visited the village to commend Naveen’s efforts. He said that Naveen Patwal has proven that if someone has the passion and determination to accomplish something, nothing is impossible. Not only has he brought pride to his village, but he has also made all of Uttarakhand and the entire nation proud.
District Horticulture Officer Rajesh Tiwari stated that *Gucchi* mushrooms are typically cultivated only in Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir. However, producing them in a polyhouse in Pauri district is a major achievement in itself. He mentioned that the state government now plans to sign an agreement with Naveen Patwal to begin mushroom cultivation in 10 areas of Pauri district where the climate is suitable for its production.
If all goes well, in the coming days, the world’s most expensive *Gucchi* mushrooms could also be cultivated in other parts of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand. This would not only be a major success for a state struggling with migration, but also create new employment opportunities within Uttarakhand. As a result, local youth would no longer need to migrate to big cities in search of livelihood an important milestone for Devbhoomi Uttarakhand.
