She returned to Himachal Pradesh and purchased 70 acres of barren land in Una district. Using simple methods cow dung compost, herbal sprays, and hard work she transformed the dry, rocky terrain into a lush organic farm growing dragon fruit and herbal plants like ashwagandha, tulsi, stevia, sarpagandha, and moringa.
