Bandipora, Dec 20: Asiya Akbar, a 35-year-old woman from Nasoo village in Bandipora district, has become a local inspiration for her innovative rooftop farming initiative, cultivating vegetables and mushrooms.
Asiya’s efforts have not only gained her recognition but also significantly contributed to her family’s income, as she earns over Rs. 40,000 monthly from her rooftop crops.
Sharing her journey, Asiya explained that she began mushroom cultivation four years ago, exploring its potential alongside vegetables. “During a visit to Kupwara with the Territorial Army, I was inspired to start a business,” said Asiya, who originally hails from Veernag.
“That’s when I decided on mushroom cultivation. With guidance from the Agriculture Department, I received support from the local community,” she said. She credited the Agriculture Department and local community for their guidance and support in her endeavor.
Asiya highlighted the importance of such initiatives, especially for educated women facing limited government job opportunities. “Growing vegetables and mushrooms at home offers a sustainable alternative for women to support themselves and their families,” she remarked.
