The proposed Waste-to-Wealth initiative between IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and Sansar Green, led by Rajeev Singh, Founder & Managing Director of Sansar Green, received coverage across leading newspapers and digital media platforms, including Hindustan, Dainik Jagran, Dainik Bhaskar and other regional media outlets.

The initiative focuses on converting dry leaves collected from the IIT (ISM) Dhanbad campus into nutrient-rich organic manure enriched with beneficial microorganisms. The project aims to support soil health, sustainable agriculture, green waste management and circular economy practices.

The proposed project was discussed with Prof. Alok Kumar Das, Dean, CIIE, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad; Mrs. Anjana, District Agriculture Officer, Dhanbad; and Mrityunjay Sharma, Assistant Registrar, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad.

Under the proposed arrangement, Sansar Green will invest 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.

The organic manure produced through the initiative is also proposed to benefit farmers, nursery operators, gardening enthusiasts and the wider community, extending the impact beyond the IIT campus.

This growing media coverage reflects increasing recognition of a practical model that connects IIT-led institutional collaboration, agricultural entrepreneurship, soil health, microbial technology, environmental sustainability and farmer benefit.

For Rajeev Singh and Sansar Green, this media visibility represents more than publicity. It reflects wider recognition of efforts to connect scientific institutions, agricultural innovation and practical implementation for soil health and sustainable development.

The larger objective is to create a scalable Waste-to-Wealth model in which dry leaves and green waste are converted into useful agricultural resources rather than being burned or discarded. If successfully implemented, such a model could potentially be explored for other educational institutions, government campuses, industrial areas and residential complexes. Pasted markdown

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।

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

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

• 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।

3. कृषि को आजीविका और रोजगार के इंजन में बदलना

• 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।

  

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

“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।”

आगे की राह (The Path Ahead)

उष्णजोशी भरे आतिथ्य, सम्मान और इस ज्ञानवर्धक संवाद के लिए उषा मार्टिन यूनिवर्सिटी का हार्दिक आभार।

स्वस्थ मिट्टी • समृद्ध किसान • हरा-भरा झारखंड
