00:00This flower-filled field is in the Kuru region of Haryana.
00:18The land here used to be barren.
00:22However, in today's time, the cultivation of flowers has made this village prosperous.
00:28In 1914, the government moved this village out of Delhi's Palam airport.
00:35There used to be a lot of weeds in this jungle.
00:39So, they were settled here.
00:41This is how this village was named Beed Sujra.
00:46The people of Beed Sujra had very little land.
00:50There were a lot of problems in the past.
00:53So, after a few days, people slowly started cultivating flowers.
00:59And 25-30 years ago, we benefited a lot from the cultivation of flowers.
01:04By cultivating flowers, the poor people of the nearby villages also get labor.
01:12They pluck flowers.
01:14Then the flowers are sent to the market.
01:17There is a market in this village.
01:19In that market, some people work as labourers.
01:22They are also villagers.
01:24So, some people work as labourers in the market.
01:27They are also villagers or outsiders.
01:29Then the flowers are picked up and sold to the traders.
01:33The traders are also villagers.
01:35So, the villagers buy the flowers from the market and work as labourers at night.
01:43Then they load the flowers in cars and take them to Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.
01:47Because of this, people are getting a lot of employment.
01:51There are about 300 families living in Beed Sujra in Kurukshetra.
01:56All of them are very rich.
01:59They earn so much from flowers that they do not do any other work.
02:05We cultivate flowers.
02:07We have very little land here.
02:09We have a small farm.
02:10We have a fort of half a fort of lava flowers.
02:13Then we go to our house.
02:15So, the flowers are kept for 12 months.
02:17Yes, the flowers are kept for 12 months.
02:19But the quality of the flowers is different.
02:21So, what kind of flowers are planted in the village?
02:23In the village, there is a market.
02:27There are three types of flowers.
02:30The story of this village is also very interesting.
02:34In 1914, this village was shifted from Delhi to Kurukshetra.
02:39At that time, this village used to be barren.
02:42If the villagers had anything, then it was a little barren land.
02:47After settling in Kurukshetra, the villagers changed the picture of this village with their hard work.
02:54Haryana is called an agricultural capital.
02:58Agriculture is also followed here.
03:01But the reason for being the first in agriculture is that the scientists and farmers here work well on the farm.
03:11There is a similar story of the village of Kurukshetra.
03:15In 1914, this village was shifted from Delhi to Bihar.
03:22After that, the village has established new activities in agriculture.
03:27There is only one such village in Haryana where flowers are grown on a large scale.
03:34Not only this, but a special flower market is also held in this village.
03:39In Haryana alone, there is a village called Bid Sujra where there is a flower market as well as a large-scale flower farm.
03:48All the people who work here, whether they are commission agents or laborers, belong to this village.
03:54So somewhere the villagers are getting employment from this and are making themselves independent.
04:00It is said that after the construction of the airport in Delhi, this village was shifted to Kurukshetra.
04:07There is a market here, there is no need to go out.
04:11We sell here.
04:12The traders are also from this village.
04:14The farmers have got a good job.
04:16They come from far away.
04:17They come from 15-20 km, 40 km from Tarnal, from Laddu, from Tabat.
04:21The market time is from 6 pm to 9 pm.
04:25Where do you supply further?
04:28In Punjab, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh.
04:33We go to the shopkeepers.
04:37The special thing is that the people of this village do not go to the city for earning.
04:43They pluck flowers in the village and earn well by farming flowers.
04:49They say that they are getting employment.
04:53They are doing well.
04:56Sometimes Ganda, sometimes Jafri, sometimes Laddu, sometimes the market.
05:01This is how it goes.
05:02So the women of the village who do not have a farm, do they get employment in the village?
05:06Yes, employment is going on.
05:08We have got NREGA, let's do NREGA.
05:10We have our flowers here.
05:19We have been plucking flowers for 12 months.
05:22So the villagers are getting employment somewhere.
05:25Those who do not have a farm, they are getting employment.
05:27Yes, we are getting that too.
05:29So the women work to pluck flowers.
05:32Yes.
05:33The special thing is that the farmers here have not only increased their income with their hard work,
05:38but have also made their village famous throughout the country.
