The Libri GmbH The Road From Barren to Bountiful Paperback

What do you do on the day you stop working? Ram Dyal Sohal went back to the land.Born in a small village in Una, Himachal Pradesh, Ram spent three decades building a career in corporate public relations - and then, at retirement, did something most people his age would never dare attempt. He began buying neglected, barren plots of earth that everyone else had written off, and transforming them, one by one, into fertile, productive farmland. Over thirteen years, he developed nearly seventy-five acres, installed sixteen tubewells, planted over thirteen thousand trees, and multiplied his retirement savings many times over. But the numbers are only part of the story.The Road from Barren to Bountiful is an honest, deeply personal account of what it takes to see possibility where others see waste - and to build something lasting with your own hands, your own money, and your own stubbornness. It is also a practical guide: how to identify and buy the right land, develop it systematically, manage it wisely, and eventually sell it at full value.For the retired professional, the rural investor, or anyone who has ever looked at something broken and thought: I can fix this.The earth rewards those willing to work with it. It is never too late to begin.
