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.

Building Practical Innovation with IIT (ISM) Dhanbad

For Rajeev Singh and Sansar Green, the initiative is an important step in strengthening collaboration with one of India’s leading technical institutions.

The project brings together IIT (ISM) Dhanbad’s academic and institutional ecosystem with Sansar Green’s focus on soil health, microbial technology and sustainable agriculture.

The larger objective is to show how simple environmental challenges can become scalable agricultural solutions through the right combination of research, entrepreneurship, and implementation.

“Innovation becomes meaningful when it moves from institutions to the field and creates practical value for farmers, soil and the environment.” — Rajeev Singh

In a major step towards promoting sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation, Harit Sansar, the flagship green initiative of Sansar Green, successfully organised a Natural Farming Awareness and Farmers’ Training Programme at Birni Block in Giridih District, Jharkhand. The event witnessed the participation of hundreds of farmers from Birni and nearby villages, who came together to explore practical solutions for sustainable farming, soil restoration, and climate-resilient agriculture.

The programme was graced by Mr. Rajeev Singh, Founder of Sansar Green and the visionary behind the Harit Sansar Movement, who attended as the Chief Guest. His inspiring address focused on transforming Indian agriculture through natural farming while encouraging farmers to become active partners in protecting the environment.

Addressing the gathering, Rajeev Singh said that agriculture is not only about increasing crop production but also about preserving the natural resources that support farming. He highlighted that excessive dependence on chemical inputs has affected soil fertility, biodiversity, and water quality, making it essential to adopt sustainable and nature-friendly agricultural practices.

“The future of farming lies in healthy soil, healthy farmers, and a healthy environment. Every farmer has the power to create positive change by embracing natural farming and planting trees that will benefit generations to come,” he said.

One of the key highlights of the programme was the distribution of 700 mango saplings under the Harit Sansar Plantation Campaign. The saplings were distributed free of cost among participating farmers with the objective of promoting agroforestry, increasing green cover, improving biodiversity, and creating an additional long-term source of income through fruit cultivation. Farmers were encouraged to care for the saplings and inspire others in their communities to participate in plantation drives.

The technical sessions introduced farmers to practical aspects of natural farming, including soil health improvement, microbial and organic inputs, composting techniques, water conservation, integrated nutrient management, and environmentally responsible crop production. The discussions emphasized reducing cultivation costs while improving productivity through sustainable methods.

Throughout the programme, farmers actively participated in interactive discussions, shared their field experiences, and sought guidance on implementing natural farming practices in their own villages. The event served as an important platform for knowledge exchange, encouraging innovation while preserving traditional agricultural wisdom.

Rajeev Singh also presented the vision of the Harit Sansar Movement, explaining that the initiative extends beyond plantation drives. The movement aims to build environmentally conscious rural communities by promoting natural farming, biodiversity conservation, water conservation, climate awareness, and community participation. He encouraged every participant to become a “Green Ambassador” by motivating family members, neighbours, and fellow farmers to adopt sustainable agricultural practices and plant more trees.

The programme concluded with a collective pledge by all participants to promote natural farming, protect soil health, conserve natural resources, and actively participate in the Harit Sansar Plantation Campaign. Farmers expressed their commitment to planting and nurturing the distributed mango saplings while spreading awareness about sustainable agriculture within their villages.

Through initiatives like these, Sansar Green continues to strengthen its commitment to building a greener and more sustainable India. By combining farmer education, environmental stewardship, and large-scale plantation campaigns, Harit Sansar is creating a movement that empowers rural communities while contributing to long-term ecological and economic prosperity.

About Harit Sansar

Harit Sansar is a nationwide environmental and sustainability initiative by Sansar Green, dedicated to promoting natural farming, tree plantation, biodiversity conservation, climate action, and sustainable rural development.
