Chakradhar

If every Indian citizen has to eat three times a day, every farmer of the country has to slog in the farm fields irrespective of seasons and without giving any petty reasons. As a small boy from Siddipet, Chakradhar Goud has realized this hard fact right in the childhood itself. In those days, his family used to run a Janata Hotel with very affordable prices. After his school hours, he used to help parents in running the hotel. That’s where he understood the value of food and the greatness of farmers who produce these food grains.

Since childhood, Chakradhar has been marching ahead in order to realize the welfare of the nation.

He was fascinated by the adages “Jai Jawan! Jai Kisaan!”, and “Roti, Kapda, Makaan”. Thus, he longed to find the fittest solutions to answer the hunger of poor men and support farmers to lead respectful lives. Having completed graduation in Commerce (B.Com), Chakradhar deeply understood the economical differences within the citizens that left some with hunger while only minor part of the population enjoy all the fortunes and luxuries.

After migrating to Hyderabad, he worked in Banking, Insurance, Finance, Construction and e-Commerce domains. Having amassed abundant of knowledge with the social bent of mind, Chakradhar has associated with many social causes. From 2005 onwards, he has done extensive research on Farmers’ suicides and determined to work for their welfare.

His penchant dream is to see India one day, as the country with zero farmer suicides. Chakradhar Goud always believes in end results, not worried about the hurdles encountered in realizing the success. His simple mantra is “When Farmers are considered as the backbone of Indian economy, he want to become a helping hand to those farmers who are in distress”. Thus, he established “Farmer’s First Foundation” to bring back smiles in the lives of Indian farmers.

Through Farmer’s First Foundation, Chakradhar wants to bring transformation in Farming sector. He is determined to provide timely counseling support to all those farmers who are facing dire consequences due to non-profitable farming. He is also spreading the network of volunteers at all village level to capture detailed profiles of farmers so as to reach them quickly in the times of need.

Chakradhar Goud firmly believes in working with likeminded social organizations, CSR wings of corporate organizations, volunteering communities and individual donors to collectively support the farming community across India. Currently, he is building strong platform to connect individuals / organizations with common interest to invest in agriculture sector for taking lands on lease.

He is also strongly promoting the organic farming wherever feasible. With uncompromising outlook, he is dreaming of establishing an encouraging ecosystem for farming community in India. Providing counseling services, educating farmers with timely tips of advanced agriculture methodologies, updating them on climatic conditions, guiding them to find suitable financial supporters to sustain the farming, etc. are some of his penchant focus areas.

Chakradhar Goud has established Farmer’s First Foundation as a unique Social Enterprise. He is currently expanding the foundation’s footprint across India to reach the farmers, educate them with adequate training on advanced agro-technologies, nullify the impact of middlemen, spread awareness on their rights and mights, and transform their lives from mere support-seekers to the real backbone of Indian economy. His ultimate wish is to see all the farmers enjoying financial independence, and experiencing social respect.
