Details

Hemant Nath Dutta's vegetable farm in Dattenagar, Maheshpur upazila of Jhenaidah is one of the largest agricultural farms in Asia. 67 years ago Hemendra Nath Dutta, a prominent contractor from Kolkata established a huge farming farm. During World War II, he was the supplying contractor to the British Army. He got the contract of supply of vegetables for the army. For the production of fresh vegetables, they established a huge agricultural farm in their village Dattnagar. In 1940, the area was a separate subdivision of the displaced Palli. The road was not there. It was also difficult to carry the vegetables in the Darshan Darshan railway station and send it to Kolkata. It took a long time to rust. He set up helipad at Dattnagar. He used to get plenty of vegetables every day in Calcutta with helicopter. The farm house also increased. There are 5 firms under this huge farm in Dattanagar. These are Gokulnagar, Patola, Mathura, Khrikhana and Kushdanga. The total land area of ​​the firms is two thousand 737 acres. The amount of arable land is approximately 2,500 acres. The lower land has 600 sq.k. and the bill area has over 200. After the partition of India in 1947, H Datta went to Dattanagar farm and left for Calcutta. The managers and employees were looking after the farm. In 1948, the then Pakistan government acquired Dattanagar farm and was entrusted with the responsibility of managing the agriculture department. In 1962, all the properties of the firm were handed over to the Agricultural Development Corporation. BADC utilizes the farm to produce various grain seeds. Different buildings including offices, housing, were constructed. Deep and shallow tube wells are installed for irrigation. A strong drain was created to supply water to the fields. Before harvest, grains were cut and threshed with the workers. Now it is harvested and crushed with the help of big machines. There are 36 deep, 13 shallow and 10 power pumps for irrigation
