Welcome to Agrowisdom!
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Welcome to my blog!
This blog is dedicated to all those who are concerned about Mother Ceres and Mother Gaia.
Permit me to introduce myself…
I'm Avinash, and I operate my own consultancy firm here in Jaipur (yes, the famed Pink City!), the capital of Rajasthan (the land of maharajahs), India. As a consultant, I specialise in the application of high tech procedures in practical farming, optimal use of resources, and in setting up agribusinesses.
After doing a post-graduate diploma course in computer apps, I worked as a computer operator, then as a computer instructor, then as a graphic designer and animator. But I realised that I wasn't very comfortable working as an employee. So I took the plunge and started my own little firm supplying root trainers, sprinkler systems, and greenhouse accessories. Since then I've never looked back and am happy doing what I am doing.
I've been in the agritech industry since 1998 and have actually blazed an enviable track in setting up turnkey agritech projects for universities, research institutions, corporates, semi-government institutes, and private parties.
My main base of operation is Rajasthan. I have sizable operations in most of the major states of India like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Chhatisgarh, and Uttaranchal.
I design, develop, and set up a variety of environmental control structures for the agricultural sector. I have close links with research units in universities and in commercial enterprises.
I handle turnkey projects involving application of high technology processes and structures to grow plants and crops.
I am a visiting faculty and technical expert on agricultural technology for Allahabad University.
I believe that the only way to improve the social condition of countries like India is by enhancing the technology level in the agricultural sector. I don’t mean using harvesters and tractors and that stuff. I mean that we can really perform high-tech magic by using environmental control structures and techniques. We can enhance agricultural output while saving water and soil resources.
Take for instance, the case of drip irrigation…. This simple technique helps to conserve precious water in a big way. In a typical setup the reduction is by a factor of five. If the “before” consumption is 10 litres then the “after” consumption is just 2 litres. That means we save 80% water on average. With just a little more tweaking and investment the reduction reaches a factor of ten which translates to a 90% saving. Cool, isn’t it?
My aim in starting this blog is to get more inputs from like minded persons. Though I am primarily interested in agriculture as a development tool in India, I do not mean to limit myself or the ambit of this blog to the national confines of India. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to know that agriculture is a global requirement – no agriculture, no food; no food, no animal (or human) life! That’s quite apocalyptic, ain’t it?
So come on all of you, young or old, one and all – do write in and let us all know just what you think of agriculture as a means of social development.
I'll be posting my thoughts, musings, rants on this blog and I sure would like to hear from you... so do post your comments and feedback, thanks!
I am continually updating my skillsets and knowledgebase to better serve my clients.
On the personal side, I am happily married and have a son, Aditya, who's just 6.
I love reading and listening to music, in Hindi, that is. I do travel around a bit, mainly for business.
My philosophy? Aah, that's a bit tricky to put down. I've had my fair share of ups and downs, and am rather Stoic in my outlook. I may be down but am never downhearted. "My head is bloody but unbowed...!"
Well, that's all for now!
See you soon!
