Agartala: Jitendra Debnath spent years working as a carpenter in Tripura. He eventually swapped his hammer for spores to find a new path. The former tradesman now runs a thriving mushroom farm.
This shift toward agriculture highlights a growing trend of self-reliance among rural workers. Debnath moved away from the daily grind of construction work to manage his own crops. His transition shows how simple, localized business models can create stability.
Debnath noted the shift in his livelihood, stating, "From Carpenter to Mushroom Entrepreneur: Jitendra Debnath's journey of self-reliance in Tripura." He now serves as a local example of how individuals adapt when they choose to change careers.
