04 / DEVELOPMENT PHASES

Built in three structured phases

Phase 1

Agro Products

Rakshitpur

  • Hydroponic farming — soil-less, high-yield cultivation of micro and English vegetables.
  • Dehydrated fruits & vegetables — processed and packed to cut wastage and extend shelf life.
  • Cold storage facility — 50-tonne capacity to protect freshness and reduce post-harvest losses.
Phase 2

Food Processing Unit

Basra More, Raniganj

  • Ready-to-eat food packs and gravies in retort pouches — cut, heat and serve.
  • Serving working households, food-service kitchens and institutional buyers.
  • Targeting high-end retail, restaurants & hotels, and export markets for Indian foods.
Phase 3

Eco-Tourism

Rakshitpur

  • Rural eco-village built with sustainable architecture, renewable energy and water conservation.
  • Wellness & yoga centre, farm restaurant, game zone and nature experiences.
  • Locals trained in hospitality so the community runs its own tourism.

06 / BACK TO NATURE

Where the farm becomes a place to visit

Aerial view of patchwork farmland

Agro produce · food processing · eco tourism — one landscape

The same land that grows the produce will host a rural eco-village: eco-friendly buildings, renewable energy, water conservation, a wellness and yoga centre, and community-run hospitality that keeps tourism revenue in the village.

A farmer's market — "Know your Food" — will let visitors identify nutritious ingredients, avoid harmful additives and appreciate where their food comes from, alongside a butterfly garden, pet zone and other ethical wildlife experiences.
