Jaipur: Believe it or not but Dropout Class 10 of Rajasthan will rub shoulders with scientists and academics to design an organic farming curriculum for the University of Agriculture in India.
The man with a mission is LawChand Patidar, a farmer from Manpura Village in Jhalawar District Rajasthan.
He has been assigned to design curriculum on organic farming for Indian Agricultural University.
Interestingly, he was least worried about the fact that he had no degree.
“The text and ancient script we taught me the facts about organic farming and I will share the same thing with my colleague in the panel,” he said.

“The module I’m working on, agriculture is related to natural impurities and cows, will be introduced in schools, colleges and universities,” said Patidar.
He advocated using ‘Panchgavya’ or five elements from cattle to feed the ground and make plants healthier and have become a consultant for four Rajasthan agricultural universities on organic agricultural problems.
Patidar decided to look for organic farming in 2005 even when his family and friends opposed the idea of experiments who were afraid of losses.
Not affected by the lack of encouragement, he began organic farming at a small patch of 25 hectares of agriculture.
Today, Patidar, in addition to producing millions, also exporting products to Japan, Germany and Switzerland.
In fact, the organic results took it 40 percent higher level than plants planted through conventional agricultural methods.
Patidar, therefore, has been ordered by Padma Shri in 2018 for its efforts to promote organic farming on its agriculture – Swami Vivekanda Jaivik Krishi Anusandhan Kendra.
He has decided to enter organic farming after realizing that “conventional agriculture is proven to be dangerous and the harmful effect is seen in human and environmental health”.
“I realize that land productivity falls with conventional farming that uses chemicals and soil is being harmed and the plants become toxic,” he said.
Therefore, he began organic farming and helped turn his home village in Manpura to be a chemical-free agricultural patch.
Seeing his achievements, he had been included in the National Curriculum Committee founded by the Indian Council for agricultural research because he has expertise in planting organic oranges, pulses, onions, coriander, and fennel, mostly exported to Europe.
“After introducing a few steps to improve my agricultural carbon cycle, I have received a positive impact because the condition of the land becomes more conducive to the growth of microorganisms and insects that make fertile land,” said Patidar.
He supports nature more than in technology, and at the Facebook post Swami Vivekanand Jaivik Krishi Anusandhan Kendra Manpura, he said: “Our elders are far before us, scientifically.”
