Dainik Jagran | Dhanbad Edition | 9 October 2026

GIRIDIH, JHARKHAND: An initiative led by environmentalist and sustainability advocate Rajeev Singh to preserve Hodopathy, a traditional indigenous healing system associated with Jharkhand’s Adivasi communities, has been featured in Dainik Jagran’s Dhanbad edition on October 9, 2026.

The report, published under the headline “गिरिडीह में होड़ोपैथी चिकित्सा पद्धति के संरक्षण की पहल” (Initiative to Preserve the Traditional Hodopathy Healing System in Giridih), highlighted efforts to document generations-old indigenous knowledge, conserve medicinal plants and protect the forest ecosystems closely associated with traditional healing practices.

As part of the initiative, three dedicated digital platforms — Hodopathy.org, Hodopathy.in and Hodopathy.com — were inaugurated at Singh’s residential office in Giridih. The websites aim to preserve and share the traditional knowledge of Adivasi elders, experienced healers and local plant experts, much of which has been passed down orally for generations.

The initiative is also linked to Hodopathy Park in Gandey, Giridih, bringing together indigenous knowledge preservation, medicinal plant conservation and community participation.

Documenting Traditional Knowledge for Future Generations

Speaking about the initiative, Singh emphasised that Adivasi communities possess valuable knowledge of forests, medicinal plants and their traditional uses. However, much of this heritage remains undocumented and is at risk of disappearing as experienced knowledge holders grow older.

To address this concern, the project team is collecting information through interviews with traditional healers, community elders and local plant experts. The documented knowledge is being reviewed and compared with available scientific literature.

The programme will progress in three phases. The first focuses on developing a digital repository of traditional knowledge. The second involves publishing a book documenting the experiences of senior healers and the identification and customary uses of medicinal plants. The third phase will provide training to young people in plant identification, conservation and documentation.

The initiative also proposes collaboration with research institutions to scientifically investigate the safety and effectiveness of selected traditional medicinal practices.

Conservation of Medicinal Plants and Forest Biodiversity

Singh stressed that preserving Hodopathy requires protecting the medicinal plants and forests from which much of this traditional knowledge originates.

The initiative seeks to encourage the cultivation and conservation of indigenous medicinal plant species, strengthen community involvement in environmental protection and contribute to forest and biodiversity conservation.

He appealed to traditional healers, Adivasi elders, forest experts and rural communities to share their experiences. Students, teachers, researchers and social organisations were also invited to participate in the programme.

Singh further emphasised that the consent, rights and contributions of traditional knowledge holders would be respected throughout the documentation process.

Community Participation in Website Launch

The inauguration programme brought together traditional healers, Adivasi community representatives and members of the organising team.

Among those present were CA Rakesh, Rimi Singh, Saman, Shubham, Sonali, Anchal Singh, Anand Murmu, Vinita Tudu and Manoj Hembrom, along with other participants.

The initiative seeks to connect indigenous wisdom with digital technology, scientific research and ecological conservation, creating opportunities for younger generations to learn from traditional knowledge holders.

The coverage in Dainik Jagran has brought wider attention to the importance of preserving Jharkhand’s indigenous heritage and protecting the medicinal plants and forests that sustain it.

By combining traditional knowledge documentation, youth participation and biodiversity conservation, the programme aims to develop a meaningful model for safeguarding indigenous knowledge and natural heritage for future generations.

Sansar Green के लिए यह गर्व का अवसर है कि Founder & Managing Director श्री राजीव सिंह द्वारा प्रस्तुत “Jharkhand Agriculture Export Roadmap–2030” को प्रतिष्ठित हिंदी दैनिक हिन्दुस्तान ने अपने झारखंड संस्करण में प्रमुखता से प्रकाशित किया।

28 अगस्त 2026 को प्रकाशित समाचार “अब वैश्विक बाजार में चमकेगा गिरिडीह का आलू” में झारखंड के कृषि उत्पादों को राष्ट्रीय और अंतरराष्ट्रीय बाजार से जोड़ने की संभावनाओं, गुणवत्ता मानकों, Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), प्रसंस्करण, आधुनिक भंडारण और निर्यात आधारित कृषि व्यवस्था पर विशेष रूप से प्रकाश डाला गया।

यह मीडिया कवरेज 26 अगस्त 2026 को Krishi Bhavan, SAMETI, Ranchi में आयोजित कृषि निर्यात कार्यशाला से संबंधित है, जिसमें श्री राजीव सिंह ने झारखंड के विभिन्न किसान उत्पादक संगठनों एवं कृषि क्षेत्र के प्रतिनिधियों के समक्ष Jharkhand Agriculture Export Roadmap–2030 प्रस्तुत किया था।

गिरिडीह के आलू से वैश्विक बाजार तक

दैनिक हिन्दुस्तान ने अपनी रिपोर्ट में विशेष रूप से गिरिडीह के आलू की निर्यात क्षमता को रेखांकित किया।

समाचार में बताया गया कि यदि वैज्ञानिक खेती, उन्नत किस्मों, बेहतर ग्रेडिंग, प्रसंस्करण, आधुनिक भंडारण और प्रभावी कोल्ड-चेन व्यवस्था को मजबूत किया जाए, तो गिरिडीह का आलू वैश्विक बाजार में अपनी पहचान बना सकता है।

यह विचार Sansar Green की उस व्यापक सोच से जुड़ा है, जिसके अंतर्गत स्थानीय कृषि उत्पादों को केवल पारंपरिक मंडियों तक सीमित न रखकर उन्हें value-added, quality-driven और export-ready products के रूप में विकसित करने पर बल दिया जा रहा है।

गुणवत्ता मानकों पर विशेष जोर

समाचार में कार्यशाला के दौरान गुणवत्ता मानकों पर हुई चर्चा को भी प्रमुख स्थान दिया गया।

अंतरराष्ट्रीय बाजार तक पहुंचने के लिए केवल अधिक उत्पादन पर्याप्त नहीं है। किसानों और FPOs को बाजार की मांग के अनुरूप उत्पादन के साथ-साथ निम्न क्षेत्रों पर विशेष ध्यान देना होगा:

• गुणवत्ता और मानकीकरण
• वैज्ञानिक ग्रेडिंग
• आधुनिक पैकेजिंग
• प्रसंस्करण
• सुरक्षित भंडारण
• कोल्ड-चेन
• आवश्यक प्रमाणन
• निर्यात दस्तावेज
• बाजार आधारित उत्पादन योजना

Sansar Green का मानना है कि यदि किसान उत्पादन के साथ बाजार की जरूरतों को समझें, तो कृषि को अधिक लाभकारी और टिकाऊ व्यवसाय में बदला जा सकता है।

Rajeev Singh ने प्रस्तुत किया Agriculture Export Roadmap–2030

दैनिक हिन्दुस्तान की रिपोर्ट में गिरिडीह निवासी एवं Sansar Green के Founder & Managing Director Rajeev Singh द्वारा प्रस्तुत Jharkhand Agriculture Export Roadmap–2030 का उल्लेख किया गया।

इस रोडमैप के माध्यम से राज्य के प्रमुख कृषि उत्पादों की पहचान कर उन्हें संभावित निर्यात उत्पादों के रूप में विकसित करने की रणनीति प्रस्तुत की गई।

विशेष रूप से झारखंड के:

आलू • इमली • महुआ • आम • हल्दी • मिर्च • टमाटर

जैसे उत्पादों में निर्यात और value addition की महत्वपूर्ण संभावनाएं बताई गईं।

किसानों की आय और कृषि निर्यात पर जोर

Jharkhand Agriculture Export Roadmap–2030 का एक महत्वपूर्ण उद्देश्य किसानों की आय बढ़ाने के लिए कृषि को बाजार से अधिक प्रभावी ढंग से जोड़ना है।

यदि किसान अपनी उपज केवल कच्चे रूप में बेचने के बजाय उसे ग्रेडिंग, पैकेजिंग, प्रसंस्करण और ब्रांडिंग के माध्यम से बाजार तक पहुंचाते हैं, तो उसके आर्थिक मूल्य में उल्लेखनीय वृद्धि हो सकती है।

इससे किसानों को बेहतर कीमत मिलने के साथ-साथ ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में:

Processing • Packaging • Storage • Logistics • Marketing • Agri Entrepreneurship

जैसे क्षेत्रों में नए रोजगार और उद्यमिता के अवसर भी पैदा हो सकते हैं।

FPOs बन सकते हैं कृषि निर्यात की मजबूत कड़ी

मीडिया रिपोर्ट में Farmer Producer Organisations की भूमिका को भी महत्वपूर्ण बताया गया।

FPOs छोटे और सीमांत किसानों को संगठित कर उनकी उपज का सामूहिक संग्रह, गुणवत्ता परीक्षण, ग्रेडिंग, पैकेजिंग और विपणन सुनिश्चित कर सकते हैं।

इससे किसानों की bargaining power मजबूत होती है और वे सीधे बड़े खरीदारों, प्रसंस्करण कंपनियों तथा निर्यातकों से जुड़ सकते हैं।

Sansar Green की दृष्टि में FPOs भविष्य में Farmer-to-Market और Farmer-to-Export मॉडल की सबसे महत्वपूर्ण कड़ी बन सकते हैं।

स्थानीय उत्पादों से बनेगा नया कृषि उद्यमिता मॉडल

समाचार में यह भी रेखांकित किया गया कि झारखंड के स्थानीय उत्पाद यदि संगठित खरीद, प्रसंस्करण, पैकेजिंग और विपणन प्रणाली से जुड़े, तो इससे केवल किसानों को बेहतर मूल्य ही नहीं मिलेगा बल्कि कृषि उद्यमिता और रोजगार के नए अवसर भी विकसित होंगे।

इस मॉडल में किसानों के साथ-साथ ग्रामीण युवाओं, FPOs, processors, logistics providers और agri-entrepreneurs के लिए भी नई संभावनाएं मौजूद हैं।

Sansar Green के लिए महत्वपूर्ण मीडिया मान्यता

दैनिक हिन्दुस्तान जैसे प्रमुख समाचार पत्र द्वारा Jharkhand Agriculture Export Roadmap–2030 और Rajeev Singh के विचारों को स्थान दिया जाना Sansar Green के लिए एक महत्वपूर्ण मीडिया और संस्थागत उपलब्धि है।

यह कवरेज उस व्यापक उद्देश्य को आगे बढ़ाता है, जिसके तहत Sansar Green झारखंड की कृषि को production-oriented farming से market-oriented और value-added agriculture की दिशा में आगे ले जाने की वकालत कर रहा है।

हमारा विश्वास है कि झारखंड के किसानों को वैज्ञानिक उत्पादन, गुणवत्ता, तकनीक, FPO नेटवर्क, आधुनिक प्रसंस्करण और मजबूत बाजार संपर्क से जोड़कर राज्य के कृषि उत्पादों को देश और दुनिया में नई पहचान दिलाई जा सकती है।

Local Farms to Global Markets

Sansar Green का दीर्घकालिक उद्देश्य स्पष्ट है — झारखंड के विशिष्ट कृषि उत्पादों की पहचान कर उनकी गुणवत्ता, processing, branding और market linkage को मजबूत करना ताकि किसान बड़े बाजारों से जुड़ सकें और उन्हें अपनी उपज का बेहतर आर्थिक मूल्य प्राप्त हो।

गिरिडीह के खेत से वैश्विक बाजार तक — यही Jharkhand Agriculture Export Roadmap–2030 की दिशा है।

Raipur, 13 August 2026:

A seminar on “Rural Entrepreneurship: Innovation, Enterprise and Sustainable Livelihoods” was organised at Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya (IGKV), Raipur, on 13 August 2026. The programme brought together agricultural scientists, faculty members, researchers, students and aspiring entrepreneurs to explore how innovation and enterprise can create sustainable livelihoods across rural India.

Rajeev Singh, Founder of Sansar Green, delivered the keynote address. A leading Indian agripreneur, environmentalist and natural farming expert from Jharkhand, Singh has extensive experience in sustainable agriculture, soil health management, bio-inputs, plantation development and rural enterprise creation. He has also shared practical agricultural knowledge with farmers as an expert on All India Radio and Doordarshan.

The programme was attended by Prof. Girish Chandel, Vice-Chancellor of IGKV; Dr. Vivek Kumar Tripathi, Director of Research Services; Dr. S. S. Tuteja, Director of Extension Services; Dr. Arti Guhey, Dean; senior agricultural scientists, faculty members and representatives of the university’s research and extension ecosystem.

Delivering the keynote address, Singh said that rural India should no longer be viewed merely as a supplier of agricultural raw materials. With the appropriate combination of scientific knowledge, technology, entrepreneurship and market access, villages can emerge as centres of innovation, processing, manufacturing, value addition and employment generation.

He observed that many farmers apply fertilisers and other inputs without having adequate information about the nutrient status of their soil. Such practices can increase cultivation costs, reduce input efficiency and adversely affect long-term soil health. Regular soil testing, location-specific microbial solutions and crop-specific nutrient management can help farmers make informed decisions and achieve better results with the appropriate use of inputs.

Singh presented Sansar Green’s “Mitti Se Mandi Tak” model, an integrated approach connecting soil diagnostics, soil- and crop-specific bio-inputs, artificial intelligence-based crop advisory, farmer training, produce collection, value addition and market linkage.

Explaining the innovation behind the model, he highlighted the importance of developing beneficial microbial strains adapted to local soil and climatic conditions. Agricultural solutions developed for one geographical region may not produce similar results elsewhere because soil composition, temperature, rainfall, crops and farming practices vary considerably.

He emphasised that biofertilisers and biological crop solutions should therefore be selected according to the specific soil, crop, climate and nutrient requirements of each location. This locally responsive approach can improve input efficiency, support soil biology and deliver more reliable outcomes for farmers.

Discussing entrepreneurship opportunities for young people, Singh identified bio-input manufacturing, soil-testing services, seed production, nursery development, farm machinery services, grain cleaning and grading, food processing, agricultural logistics, packaging, digital crop advisory and direct-to-consumer marketing as promising rural business sectors.

He encouraged students to begin their entrepreneurial journeys by visiting villages, interacting directly with farmers and identifying genuine problems at the grassroots level. According to him, a successful rural enterprise must offer an affordable, practical and scalable solution that produces measurable benefits for farmers.

Singh also emphasised that farmers’ trust cannot be built through marketing alone. Rural enterprises must demonstrate consistent product quality, transparent communication, reliable technical guidance and verifiable field-level performance.

An interactive session followed the keynote address, during which students raised questions about startup funding, incubation, product development, certification, technology commercialisation, digital marketing and the challenges involved in establishing an agricultural enterprise. Singh shared insights from his entrepreneurial journey and encouraged students to validate their ideas in the field before developing full-scale business models.

Prof. Girish Chandel highlighted the important role of agricultural universities in connecting scientific research with farmers, startups and rural industries. He stressed that entrepreneurship-oriented agricultural education can enable students to become innovators and employment creators while contributing meaningfully to agricultural development.

Dr. S. S. Tuteja underlined the need for closer coordination among research institutions, agricultural extension systems and rural entrepreneurs so that scientifically validated technologies can reach farmers more effectively. Dr. Vivek Kumar Tripathi emphasised the importance of translating research outcomes into practical and commercially viable solutions without compromising scientific quality and credibility.

The programme concluded with a call for stronger collaboration among agricultural universities, scientists, startups, farmers, government institutions and rural communities. The seminar reinforced the view that rural entrepreneurship can generate sustainable livelihoods while strengthening soil health, agricultural productivity, local value addition and farmers’ access to markets.

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.
