Dhanbad, Jharkhand | 16 September 2026

In a significant step towards sustainable agriculture and environmental innovation, Rajeev Singh, Founder & Managing Director of Sansar Green, is leading a collaborative initiative with IIT (ISM) Dhanbad to convert dry leaves from the institute campus into nutrient-rich organic manure enriched with beneficial microorganisms.

The initiative reflects a shared vision of turning campus green waste into a useful agricultural resource through science, microbial technology and practical implementation.

Rajeev Singh Discusses Project with IIT (ISM) Leadership

The proposed project was discussed in detail among Prof. Alok Kumar Das, Dean, CIIE, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad; Rajeev Singh of Sansar Green; Mrs. Anjana, District Agriculture Officer, Dhanbad; and Mrityunjay Sharma, Assistant Registrar, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad.

The discussion focused on developing a workable model for scientifically processing dry leaves and converting them into high-quality organic manure that can support soil health and sustainable farming.

From IIT Campus Waste to Valuable Agricultural Input

Under the proposed project, dry leaves collected from the IIT (ISM) Dhanbad campus will be scientifically decomposed and then enriched with nutrients and beneficial microorganisms.

The resulting manure may help improve soil organic matter, microbial activity, soil structure, moisture retention and root development, while also supporting efforts to reduce excessive dependence on chemical fertilisers.

For Rajeev Singh, the initiative represents a practical example of how scientific institutions and agri-enterprises can work together to create solutions with direct agricultural and environmental value.

Sansar Green to Invest in the Production Unit

A key feature of the proposed collaboration is the operational model.

Sansar Green will make the required investment in machinery, equipment, manpower, production and operations, while IIT (ISM) Dhanbad will provide the required space for setting up the production unit and storing the finished manure.

This arrangement combines IIT (ISM)’s institutional ecosystem with Sansar Green’s implementation and agricultural experience.

Benefits for Farmers and the Wider Community

The manure produced through the initiative is planned for use in the gardens, nurseries, plantations and landscaping areas of IIT (ISM) Dhanbad.

It is also proposed to be made available to farmers, nursery operators, gardening enthusiasts and the general public, extending the benefits of the project beyond the institute campus. Waste to Wealth Through Science and Agriculture

The project is strongly aligned with the Waste to Wealth concept.

Instead of treating dry leaves as waste or burning them, the initiative seeks to convert them into a productive organic resource, linking soil health, circular economy, environmental protection and sustainable agriculture.

If successfully implemented, the model could later be explored for adoption in educational institutions, government campuses, industrial areas, residential complexes and urban local bodies.

Ranchi, Jharkhand | 26 August 2026

It was a proud moment for Sansar Green as its Founder & Managing Director, Mr. Rajeev Singh, jointly inaugurated the agricultural export workshop with the Director of Agriculture, Jharkhand, and the Director of SAMETI, Jharkhand, at Krishi Bhavan, SAMETI, Ranchi.

During the programme, Mr. Rajeev Singh presented the “Jharkhand Agriculture Export Roadmap 2030”, outlining a practical strategy to connect Jharkhand’s farmers and Farmer Producer Organisations with national and global markets.

The roadmap focused on identifying district-specific agricultural products, strengthening FPOs, improving quality standards, developing processing and packaging infrastructure, building cold-chain and storage facilities, and creating stronger market and export linkages.

The workshop, organised with the participation of SAMETI and APEDA, brought together Farmer Producer Organisations, agricultural officials and sector experts from across Jharkhand.

Mr. Singh highlighted the strong export potential of products such as potato, tamarind, mahua, mango, jackfruit, turmeric, chilli, tomato and other traditional agricultural produce of Jharkhand.

He emphasised that increasing production alone is not enough. Farmers and FPOs must also focus on quality certification, grading, processing, modern packaging, scientific storage, traceability and efficient supply chainsto compete in organised and international markets.

“Jharkhand’s farmers have the potential to reach global markets. Our task is to connect quality production with processing, certification, strong FPOs and reliable market linkages.” — Rajeev Singh

FPOs as the Backbone of Agricultural Export Growth

Mr. Rajeev Singh highlighted the central role of Farmer Producer Organisations in creating an export-oriented agricultural ecosystem.

FPOs can help small and marginal farmers aggregate produce, maintain quality standards, undertake grading and processing, and negotiate directly with institutional buyers, processors and exporters.

A stronger FPO ecosystem can reduce dependence on intermediaries, improve price realisation and create better market access for farmers.

District-Specific Export Strategy

A major recommendation of the roadmap was to identify the agricultural strengths of each district and prepare a separate export and marketing strategy for key products.

The proposed value-chain approach includes:

Production → Aggregation → Grading → Processing → Packaging → Storage → Certification → Market Linkage → Export

Such a structured system can help Jharkhand move from commodity-based agriculture towards higher-value and market-driven agricultural development.

Strengthening Infrastructure for Export

Mr. Singh stressed the need to build essential infrastructure closer to production areas, including:

  • Cold-chain facilities
  • Primary processing centres
  • Pack houses
  • Sorting and grading units
  • Quality testing laboratories
  • Scientific storage systems
  • Export-compliant packaging
  • Traceability systems
  • Efficient logistics networks

These facilities can reduce post-harvest losses while improving product quality and farmer income.

Role of APEDA

The participation of APEDA was significant in helping farmers and FPOs better understand export procedures, international quality standards, certification, documentation, packaging requirements and global market expectations.

Mr. Singh underlined that farmers entering export markets need not only better production practices, but also knowledge of compliance, consistency and supply-chain management.

Technology and Digital Market Linkages

Sansar Green considers technology and digital market connectivity essential for the future of agricultural exports.

Digital platforms can connect FPOs with buyers, processors, institutional markets and exporters while providing better access to information on market demand, prices, quality specifications and procurement opportunities.

This can help farmers and producer organisations make more informed and market-oriented decisions.

Building a Strong Jharkhand Agricultural Identity

Mr. Rajeev Singh emphasised that Jharkhand has the potential to build a distinct agricultural identity based on its unique products, origin and quality.

With systematic branding, certification, processing and packaging, products from Jharkhand can gain stronger recognition in both national and international markets.

The long-term objective of the Jharkhand Agriculture Export Roadmap 2030 is to create a stronger ecosystem where farmers, FPOs, government institutions, processors, exporters and market partners work together.

For Sansar Green, the opportunity to jointly inaugurate the workshop and present this roadmap before FPO representatives from across Jharkhand marked an important milestone in its journey towards farmer empowerment, market linkage, agricultural innovation and rural entrepreneurship.

From Jharkhand’s farms to national and global markets — building stronger value chains, stronger FPOs and better opportunities for farmers.

विज्ञान और मिट्टी का संगम: उषा मार्टिन यूनिवर्सिटी में ‘संसार ग्रीन’ के संस्थापक राजीव सिंह सम्मानित

पूर्वी भारत में टिकाऊ कृषि (Sustainable Agriculture) पर हो रही चर्चा एक नए मुकाम पर पहुंच गई है। हाल ही में, उषा मार्टिन यूनिवर्सिटी, रांची में ‘संसार ग्रीन’ और ‘हरित संसार’ के संस्थापक राजीव सिंह को आधिकारिक तौर पर सम्मानित किया गया। जैविक उत्पादों, मिट्टी के संरक्षण और किसानों के सशक्तिकरण में उनके अग्रणी कार्यों के लिए उन्हें यह सम्मान मिला। विश्वविद्यालय के नेतृत्व के साथ उनकी मुलाकात में झारखंड में टिकाऊ खेती के लिए भविष्य की रणनीति पर गहराई से विचार-विमर्श किया गया। 🌱
यह बैठक एक महत्वपूर्ण सच्चाई को उजागर करती है: जैविक खेती को बड़े पैमाने पर लागू करने के लिए केवल पारंपरिक तरीकों पर निर्भर रहना काफी नहीं है—इसके लिए आधुनिक कृषि विज्ञान, सूक्ष्मजीव जैव-प्रौद्योगिकी (Microbial Biotechnology) और सुव्यवस्थित सप्लाई चेन को एकीकृत करने की अत्यंत आवश्यकता है।

1. मिट्टी का विज्ञान: स्थानीय समाधान क्यों आवश्यक हैं?

झारखंड की प्राकृतिक जलवायु और मिट्टी की विविधता जैविक कृषि के लिए एक आदर्श आधार प्रदान करती है। हालांकि, खेती में “एक ही तरीका सब पर लागू” (Blanket approach) करने की नीति अक्सर विफल हो जाती है।
सिंह ने इस बात पर जोर दिया कि टिकाऊ खेती तब सफल होती है जब कृषि इनपुट्स को विशिष्ट स्थानीय मिट्टी के अनुरूप तैयार किया जाता है। वैज्ञानिक मृदा परीक्षण (Soil testing) के माध्यम से, किसान सटीक नाइट्रोजन, फास्फोरस, पोटेशियम और सूक्ष्म पोषक तत्वों की जरूरतों की पहचान कर सकते हैं—जिससे सामान्य रासायनिक उर्वरकों के अंधाधुंध उपयोग के बजाय, लक्ष्य-आधारित और लागत-प्रभावी बायो-उत्पादों का उपयोग संभव हो पाता है।

2. शोध-आधारित जैविक समाधान (Research-Driven Organic Solutions)

संसार ग्रीन वैज्ञानिक सटीकता और व्यावहारिक क्रियान्वयन पर केंद्रित एक ढांचा तैयार कर रहा है:
  • कस्टमाइज़्ड माइक्रो-इनपुट्स: मिट्टी की जैविक क्षमता को प्राकृतिक रूप से बहाल करने के लिए क्षेत्र-विशिष्ट बायो-इनपुट्स और सूक्ष्मजीव स्ट्रेन (Microbial strains) तैयार करना।
  • सटीक सलाह (Precision Advisory): फसल-विशिष्ट मार्गदर्शन के साथ मिट्टी का परीक्षण, जिससे पैदावार में अधिक स्थिरता आ सके।
  • बाजार तक सीधी पहुंच (End-to-End Market Access): ग्रामीण उत्पादकों और शहरी खरीदारों के बीच सीधा संपर्क बनाना ताकि किसानों की आर्थिक प्रगति सुनिश्चित हो सके।
इसके पूरक के रूप में, हरित संसार अभियान छात्रों, शिक्षण संस्थानों और स्थानीय समुदायों को वृक्षारोपण और संरक्षण कार्यक्रमों के माध्यम से पर्यावरण के प्रति जवाबदेह बनाने का कार्य कर रहा है।

3. कृषि को आजीविका और रोजगार के इंजन में बदलना

इस संवाद का एक प्रमुख विषय खेती के भविष्य को आकार देने में युवाओं की भूमिका था। जैविक खेती अब केवल एक पारंपरिक अभ्यास नहीं है—यह ग्रामीण उद्यमिता (Rural Entrepreneurship) के लिए एक उभरता हुआ नया क्षेत्र है।
झारखंड में युवा नवप्रवर्तकों (Innovators) के लिए विकास के प्रमुख अवसर शामिल हैं:
  • स्थानीय बायो-फर्टिलाइजर और बायो-इनपुट उत्पादन इकाइयां।
  • मूल्य संवर्धन (Value-addition), कृषि प्रसंस्करण (Processing) और पर्यावरण के अनुकूल पैकेजिंग उद्यम।
  • एग्री-टेक (Agri-tech) सेवाएं, डायरेक्ट-टू-कंज्यूमर लॉजिस्टिक्स और स्मार्ट फार्मिंग स्टार्टअप्स।

    राजीव सिंह, संस्थापक संसार ग्रीन एवं हरित संसार, उषा मार्टिन यूनिवर्सिटी रांची में सम्मानित होते हुए। इस अवसर पर झारखंड में वैज्ञानिक जैविक खेती, मिट्टी की सेहत, स्थानीय bio-inputs, microbial technology, AgriTech और किसानों की आय बढ़ाने वाले टिकाऊ कृषि मॉडल पर चर्चा हुई।
    संसार ग्रीन एवं हरित संसार के संस्थापक राजीव सिंह को उषा मार्टिन यूनिवर्सिटी, रांची में सम्मानित किया गया। संवाद में झारखंड की मिट्टी के अनुरूप जैविक समाधान, आधुनिक कृषि विज्ञान, किसान सशक्तिकरण और “मिट्टी से मंडी तक” मॉडल पर विशेष चर्चा हुई।

4. “खेत से मंडी तक” (From Soil to Mandi)

उषा मार्टिन यूनिवर्सिटी से मिले सम्मान पर विचार करते हुए, राजीव सिंह ने अपने मुख्य विजन पर प्रकाश डाला:
“यह सम्मान केवल एक उपलब्धि नहीं है; बल्कि यह मुझे अधिक जिम्मेदारी और नई प्रेरणा देता है। मेरा सपना है कि झारखंड के किसान अपनी मिट्टी की वास्तविक क्षमता को समझें और विज्ञान, जैविक खेती और आधुनिक तकनीक के माध्यम से अधिक आत्मनिर्भर और समृद्ध बनें।”
“खेत से मंडी तक” का यह ढांचा कृषि प्रक्रिया के हर चरण को जोड़ता है—जिसमें प्रारंभिक वैज्ञानिक मूल्यांकन, स्थानीय इनपुट आपूर्ति, किसानों का व्यावहारिक प्रशिक्षण और बाजार तक सुव्यवस्थित पहुंच को एक ही इकोसिस्टम (Ecosystem) में शामिल किया गया है।

आगे की राह (The Path Ahead)

झारखंड में टिकाऊ कृषि का मजबूत भविष्य बनाने के लिए अकादमिक शोधकर्ताओं, उद्यमियों, नीति निर्माताओं और स्थानीय कृषक समुदायों के बीच घनिष्ठ सहयोग की आवश्यकता है। विज्ञान को सीधे मिट्टी और खेतों तक पहुंचाकर, झारखंड पूरे भारत में जैविक खेती के लिए एक मिसाल (Benchmark) कायम कर सकता है।
उष्णजोशी भरे आतिथ्य, सम्मान और इस ज्ञानवर्धक संवाद के लिए उषा मार्टिन यूनिवर्सिटी का हार्दिक आभार। 🙏
स्वस्थ मिट्टी • समृद्ध किसान • हरा-भरा झारखंड 🌾

From Giridih to IIT (ISM): Rajeev Singh Explores the Future of Farmer-Centric Soil Technology with Prof. Sukumar Mishra

A conversation on soil health, practical innovation and taking agricultural technology closer to the farmer

Dhanbad | 9 August 2026

What happens when a local agricultural challenge meets the expertise of one of India’s leading technical institutions?

That question was at the heart of a meaningful interaction between Rajeev Singh, Director of Sansar Green Mission Pvt. Ltd., and Prof. Sukumar Mishra, Director, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, during the 20th Symposium on National Frontiers of Engineering (NatFoE) and Innovation in Manufacturing Practices (IMP) 2026.

The interaction brought together two important perspectives—scientific and technological expertise on one side, and field-oriented agricultural entrepreneurship on the other—with soil testing and farmer-focused technology at the centre of the conversation.

Turning a farm challenge into a technology opportunity

For farmers, understanding the condition of soil is fundamental to making better decisions about crops and nutrient management. Yet the value of soil science depends largely on how easily its information can be translated into practical action.

Rajeev Singh shared the concept of a soil-testing prototype being explored through Sansar Green Mission. The idea is focused on making soil assessment more practical and accessible while helping farmers understand their soil requirements in a simpler way.

The discussion with Prof. Sukumar Mishra explored how technology can potentially bridge the gap between scientific soil assessment and everyday farm-level decision-making.

Technology must work for the farmer

A central theme of the interaction was the importance of farmer-centric innovation.

Agricultural technology can have a meaningful impact only when it addresses an actual problem faced by farmers. Solutions therefore need to combine scientific reliability with simplicity, practicality and ease of use.

Rajeev Singh emphasised the importance of developing technology around the farmer rather than expecting farmers to adapt to complicated technology.

The objective is to make scientific information more understandable and actionable so that farmers can use it while planning crop nutrition and soil management.

A national platform for a local idea

The interaction took place at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad during a national symposium that brought together scientists, researchers, academicians, engineers, industry representatives and innovators from across India.

For Rajeev Singh, the event provided an opportunity to take an agricultural technology concept emerging from Giridih into a wider scientific and technological ecosystem.

The significance goes beyond one meeting. It demonstrates how ideas originating from smaller cities and districts can enter conversations taking place at premier national institutions.

Connecting science with the field

One of the larger challenges in agricultural innovation is creating a strong connection between research and practical farming.

Scientific institutions generate knowledge and technologies, while farmers face real-world challenges every day. Agricultural entrepreneurs can play an important role in connecting these two worlds.

The conversation between Prof. Sukumar Mishra and Rajeev Singh reflects the potential of such connections—where engineering, research, entrepreneurship and agriculture can come together around a specific field-level problem.

Why soil testing matters

Soil is more than the medium in which crops grow. Its physical, chemical and biological characteristics influence nutrient availability, crop performance and long-term agricultural sustainability.

Better access to soil information can help farmers make more informed decisions and avoid indiscriminate nutrient application.

The soil-testing concept being explored by Rajeev Singh aims to contribute to this approach by making soil-related information more useful at the farmer level.

Jharkhand’s emerging AgriTech potential

The interaction also highlights the growing potential of Jharkhand as a centre for agricultural entrepreneurship and innovation.

Giridih and other districts across the state have agricultural challenges that can become opportunities for locally relevant technology development.

When entrepreneurs from these regions engage with institutions such as IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, it creates opportunities for knowledge exchange, technical guidance, research collaboration and further innovation.

Beyond a meeting

The significance of the interaction lies not only in the exchange of ideas but in the possibilities that such conversations can create.

For Sansar Green Mission, the direction is towards developing agricultural solutions that are scientifically informed but firmly connected to farmers’ needs.

For Rajeev Singh, the journey from Giridih to a national technology platform is part of a broader effort to bring agricultural challenges into conversations around science, engineering and innovation.

Looking towards the next step

The soil-testing concept will require continued technical development, validation and field-oriented refinement before its wider application.

The interaction at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad provides an important platform for exchanging perspectives and exploring how agricultural technology can become more relevant, accessible and useful for farmers.

As India looks towards technology-driven and sustainable agriculture, the convergence of scientific institutions, entrepreneurs and farmers will become increasingly important.

The message from Giridih is simple: innovation should not stop at identifying a problem—it should move towards creating a solution that works in the field.

Better soil knowledge. Better decisions. Better agriculture. 🌱🇮🇳

Gandey, Giridih | 24 May 2026:

A farmer awareness and training program was organized in the mango orchard region of Gandey in Giridih district, Jharkhand, where environmentalist and agriculture expert Rajeev Singh interacted with local farmers on issues related to soil health, plant nutrition, and sustainable farming practices.

During the interaction, farmers expressed concerns regarding low fruit production in mango plants despite healthy vegetative growth. Rajeev Singh visited the orchard fields and discussed the importance of soil quality, balanced nutrients, irrigation management, organic matter, and proper plant care for improving fruiting and long-term orchard productivity.

He explained that healthy soil plays a crucial role in plant growth and fruit development. According to him, maintaining soil biological activity, moisture balance, and essential micronutrients is necessary for achieving better agricultural output through sustainable farming methods.

As part of the field study, Sonali Sharma, Lab In-Charge at SIARD Research Institute, collected soil samples from the orchard area for scientific analysis to identify nutrient deficiencies and soil-related issues affecting plant health.

During the program, CA Rakesh Kumar also addressed farmers on agricultural marketing, branding, and value addition. He guided farmers on how digital platforms, local market networks, and farmer producer groups can help improve farm income and market access.

The program witnessed active participation from local farmers, who showed interest in adopting natural farming, soil restoration practices, and sustainable agriculture techniques.

Harit Sansar and SIARD Research Institute stated that they will continue working with farming communities on ecological restoration, soil improvement, plantation drives, water conservation, and rural development initiatives across Jharkhand.

“Healthy soil, healthy plants, and prosperous farmers form the foundation of a sustainable and self-reliant future,” Rajeev Singh said.
