Dhampur Green: Story!

Grandfather of Mr. Sourav Gupta (Owner of Dhampur Green) used to feed them melted Gur with #almonds in breakfast.  He was a freedom fighter. His dad used to distribute #gur with chana to those working at the farm. He is an agricultural scientist. His dadi used to put sheera i.e. #molasses in our hair every other week and kids used to hate it. They didn’t know its health benefits then. She was a homemaker. Mom makes delicious ras-ki-kheer and #gurbesan laddu in mithai.

What Dhampur owner says :- 

I grew up among sugarcane fields: enjoyed farming with farmers on tractors; and saw how much hard work they put in and yet found it difficult to make both ends meet, saw the plight of women in conservative villages of Western U.P. who did not get even basic respect that they rightfully deserved. While doing something for the farmer and those women always stayed embedded in ambitions, I knew I was an engineer at heart. After graduating from I.I.T. Roorkee (est. 1847 as Thomson College of Civil Engineering), I was amazed to see how one single institution can contribute phenomenally towards building a nation and its society. I was fondling with a lot of business ideas, wanting to do something meaningful. I realized that despite being a family of sweet tooths and dessert-fans, sugar never really entered our homes.
