\u201cI don\u2019t know anything about agriculture. I have never had formal education but I have still come so ahead in life. Seeing my work and dedication, they have given me this award.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0This is\u00a0Pappammal\u00a0Rangammal\u00a0speaking to the media\u00a0on the occasion of being awarded the\u00a0Pama\u00a0Shri Award\u00a0on the 72nd<\/sup>\u00a0Republic Day of India.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is a proud woman farmer who hails from the Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu. She does organic farming of pulses, millets, and vegetables in her 2.5-acre field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pappammal\u2019s parents died when she was very young. Her grandmother reared her. Pappammal\u2019s husband died a decade ago. She has 3 daughters, 3 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is associated with Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, has served as a Panchayat\u00a0Councillor\u00a0in 1959, and is a DMK party member.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Pappammal, she had inherited a provision shop from her grandmother. She collected money by selling beverages and snacks. From this money, she purchased 10 acres of land to cultivate corn and pulses. After a few years, she sold this land, retaining 2.5 acres for herself. Today, she does farming in this land.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She wakes up at 3 am, starts her day with a short walk, and cooks a nutritious breakfast of ragi and rice\u00a0with\u00a0chilies\u00a0and onions. Then\u00a0carries this meal in a mud pot to her fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of you reading this might think it is normal for people to work in fields, wake up early, and do all the hard work required in farming. So, what\u2019s big if this woman farmer is doing this, right?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, ladies and gentlemen, let me end this article by telling you the age of this farmer. It will shock you. And then I bet you will read this article again from the beginning! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Padma Shri award-winning woman farmer Pappammal Rangammal is 105 years old! <\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few words as said by Pappammal, \u201cI did everything on my own, with my own will. And today look at me, I have great-grandchildren running around me. My life is very good. In my life, I am the kind and the minister.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She adds,\u00a0\u201cI eat ragi and millet and have never taken any medicines. I have never fallen sick and am always healthy.\u00a0Since 1970, I have been eating food off banana leaves only.\u00a0This is very healthy and even helps your hair grow longer and stronger.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
