Absentee ownership is the most common reason land in our belt goes to waste. Nobody opens the gate, nobody notices the encroachment, nobody waters the trees planted last monsoon. Meanwhile the skill needed is often living two kilometres away.
Roles owners most often need
Caretaker / चौकीदार
Regular visits, gate and fence checks, watering young plantings, reporting encroachment and photographing the plot for an owner who lives elsewhere.
Farm manager
For larger holdings — planning the crop cycle, coordinating labour and inputs, keeping records the owner can actually read.
Seasonal field labour
Sowing, weeding, harvesting and post-harvest work at peak times.
Tractor & machinery operators
Ploughing, levelling, sowing and harvester operation — with or without their own machine.
Polyhouse & drip technicians
Daily polyhouse operation, irrigation scheduling and basic repair — increasingly in demand as protected cultivation spreads.
Orchard care
Pruning, training, basin work and pest scouting. The first three years of an orchard decide the next twenty.
For workers
- Message us on WhatsApp with your village, the work you can do, and how far you can travel.
- Tell us your skills honestly — tractor, drip, pruning, polyhouse, general field work. Honest skills get repeat work.
- We introduce you to owners looking for that work near you. You are never charged anything.
- Agree the terms directly with the owner before you start — the work, the wage, how often you are paid, and who provides tools.
- Keep your own simple record of days worked and payments received. A phone note is enough and it prevents most disputes.
For owners — your responsibilities
We make an introduction. The employment relationship, and everything the law attaches to it, is yours.
- Pay at least the applicable minimum wage for the category and district, and pay on the agreed date. Late wages are the fastest way to lose a good caretaker.
- No child labour. Engaging children is illegal and we will not work with anyone who does.
- Agree the terms in writing — even a signed page listing work, wage, payment day and notice period prevents most disagreements.
- Provide safe working conditions — clean drinking water, shade, protective equipment for spraying, and safe machinery.
- Understand the tenancy line. Employing someone to work your land is not the same as letting them cultivate it on their own account. Long undocumented cultivation can create claims — if you want a cultivation arrangement, use a proper agreement, not an employment understanding. See land sharing.
- Comply with applicable labour law. Requirements vary with the number of workers and the nature of the work. If you are engaging people regularly or at scale, take professional advice.

Rural Work — Register Your Interest
Owners looking for reliable help, and workers looking for steady work near home.
Free for workers, always. We never charge a worker any fee — not to register, not for an introduction, and never a share of wages. If anyone asks you for money in AgriZameen’s name, tell us at once. Never hand over your original documents to anyone.
Owners: the employment relationship is yours, not ours. Pay at least the applicable minimum wage and on the agreed day, provide safe conditions, and engage no children. Employing someone to work your land is not the same as letting them cultivate it on their own account — see the tenancy note above. We are not a labour contractor or licensed placement agency, and we do not verify skills beyond what a person tells us.
What happens next: we read every enquiry ourselves and reply on WhatsApp, usually within one working day. We do not sell or share your number with third parties, and you can ask us to delete your details at any time.
