About Keshar Parvat

How we started?

There was no water on the barren rocky hillock and there were no trees on the hillock since ages. We started planting local trees like Banyan, Neem, Pipal, Mango, Guava, Lemon, Bamboo etc. from September 2016. We purchased water initially through water tankers and now we purchase from farmers of nearby villages. We tried 3 bores at our hillock up to 600 feet but failed. No body believed that trees can grow on that barren hillock named Keshar Parvat by us. But the miracle happened and the plants started growing on rocks and stones. In general, we planted the trees of height 9 inch to 1 foot. Digging was possible only up to 6 inches. The growth was slow but steady.

When we planted about 500 trees and all started growing, then we took a challenge to plant various types of trees and we got success. At present, out of 50000 trees, more than 20000 trees have gained height of more than 12 feet. Survival rate of plants at our place is 95%.

Why the name Keshar Parvat?

It was a wonder that Saffron (Keshar) grew at our place in the year 2021 with about 25 flowers, 100 flowers in year 2022 and about 500 Saffron flowers in year 2023 in spite of all the odds. We expect 2000 flowers in year 2024. We have learnt the technique how to grow saffron in a hot place having temperature 430 Centigrade.

We wish that fragrance and beauty of Keshar Parvat spreads everywhere just like Saffron, the Red Gold.
