“#Indian farmer gets rich after finding 14.98-carat diamond<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

An indigenous farmer in India said his life is completely changed after he found a 14.98-carat rock worth more than 6 million rupees, or about $80,000, the Times of India reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lakhan Yadav, 45, dug up the sparkler on land he started renting last month for a mere 200 rupees ($2.70) in Madhya Pradesh. It was later sold for 60.6 lakh, where each lakh is 100,000 rupees. <\/p>\n

Yadav told the Times on Sunday that the buried treasure revealed itself in a handful of dirt, and that he nearly mistook the precious gem for a pebble. \u201cIt has changed my life,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

His is one in a recent pattern of big scores in the region, leading prospectors to believe it may be filled with diamond-studded dirt, according to the Times. <\/p>\n

When asked what he planned to do with his newfound riches, Yadav said, \u201cI will not go for anything big. I am not an educated person, and I\u2019ll put the money in a fixed deposit to ensure my four kids get good education.\u201d <\/p>\n

The devoted father explained that he\u2019d already treated himself to a motorcycle, along with 2 hectares of land and two buffaloes, purchased with compensation he received after Panna National Park officials displaced his family to make way for the tiger reserve there, according to<\/a> the Environmental Justice Atlas.<\/p>\n

\u201cI bought the motorcycle because my nephews insisted,\u201d he told the Times. \u201cI was happ<\/a>y with my bicycle.\u201d <\/p>\n

Yadav, whose name indicates his association with the pastoral-peasant Yadav community<\/a> of rural northern India, won\u2019t rest, either. <\/p>\n

\u201cI hope to get another diamond. I\u2019ll work on it a few more months, perhaps get the lease renewed,\u201d he said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
