Dainik Jagran | Dhanbad Edition | 9 October 2026

Giridih, Jharkhand: Environmentalist, agripreneur and sustainability advocate Rajeev Singh’s initiative to preserve Hodopathy, a traditional indigenous healing system associated with Jharkhand’s Adivasi communities, has been featured in Dainik Jagran, one of India’s leading Hindi newspapers.

Published in its Dhanbad edition on 9 October 2026, under the headline “गिरिडीह में होड़ोपैथी चिकित्सा पद्धति के संरक्षण की पहल” (Initiative to Preserve the Traditional Hodopathy Healing System in Giridih), the report highlighted efforts to safeguard generations-old indigenous knowledge, document traditional medicinal plant practices and promote forest and biodiversity conservation.

The newspaper covered the inauguration of three dedicated digital platforms — Hodopathy.org, Hodopathy.in and Hodopathy.com — at Rajeev Singh’s residential office in Giridih. These websites have been developed to preserve and document the knowledge of Adivasi elders, traditional healers and local plant experts, helping ensure that this valuable heritage is passed on to future generations.

The initiative is also associated with Hodopathy Park in Gandey, Giridih, connecting indigenous knowledge preservation with medicinal plant conservation and ecological awareness.

Preserving Centuries-Old Indigenous Knowledge

For generations, Jharkhand’s Adivasi communities have maintained valuable knowledge of forests, medicinal plants and their traditional applications. Much of this knowledge has been transmitted orally, making systematic documentation essential for its long-term preservation.

Through this initiative, Rajeev Singh and his team are working with traditional healers, community elders and local plant experts to record their experiences, identify medicinal plant species and document customary practices. The collected information is being reviewed and compared with available scientific literature to support responsible documentation.

According to the report, the initiative will progress through three phases. The first focuses on creating a digital repository of traditional knowledge. The second involves preparing a publication documenting the experiences of senior healers and the traditional uses of medicinal plants. The third phase will focus on training young people in medicinal plant identification, conservation and documentation.

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

Conserving Medicinal Plants and Forest Biodiversity

Rajeev Singh emphasised that preserving Hodopathy requires protecting the medicinal plants and forests closely associated with this traditional knowledge.

The initiative seeks to encourage the identification, cultivation and conservation of indigenous medicinal plant species while strengthening community participation in biodiversity protection.

Traditional healers, Adivasi elders, forest experts, teachers, students, researchers and social organisations have been invited to participate in the programme. Respect for the consent, rights and contributions of traditional knowledge holders remains central to the documentation process.

Community Participation and a Shared Conservation Vision

The website inauguration programme brought together traditional healers, representatives of Adivasi communities 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 community representatives.

Guided by four priorities — Preserve Knowledge, Protect Plants, Advance Research and Share Learning — the initiative aims to connect indigenous wisdom with digital documentation, scientific research and environmental conservation.

The coverage in Dainik Jagran has brought wider public attention to the importance of safeguarding Jharkhand’s traditional knowledge and protecting the natural ecosystems that sustain it.

Rajeev Singh expressed his appreciation to Dainik Jagran for highlighting the initiative and contributing to public awareness about indigenous heritage, medicinal plants and forest conservation.

The initiative reflects his broader commitment to environmental sustainability, biodiversity protection and community-led conservation, with the long-term objective of preserving India’s cultural and ecological heritage for future generations.

Dainik Jagran and Dainik Bhaskar highlight the initiative involving Rajeev Singh and Sansar Green to transform dry leaves into nutrient- and microorganism-enriched organic manure

Dhanbad | 16 September 2026

An innovative sustainability initiative involving IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and its incubated startup, Sansar Green Mission Private Limited, has received prominent media attention for proposing a new use for something commonly regarded as waste: fallen dry leaves.

The initiative focuses on scientifically transforming dry leaves generated within the IIT (ISM) Dhanbad campus into nutrient-rich organic manure enriched with beneficial microorganisms.

The development was featured by Dainik Jagran and Dainik Bhaskar, drawing attention to its potential contribution to environmental protection, sustainable waste management, soil health and organic agriculture.

Dainik Jagran reported on 15 September 2026 that IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and Sansar Green were preparing to convert fallen and discarded leaves into nutrient-rich organic manure, rather than allowing them to be burned or disposed of as waste.

From “Waste” to a Resource for the Soil

The central idea behind the initiative is simple but significant: dry leaves should not necessarily be considered waste.

Institutional campuses and public spaces generate large quantities of fallen leaves. Burning them contributes to air pollution, while disposing of them without appropriate processing means that valuable organic matter is lost.

Under the proposed initiative, dry leaves collected from the IIT (ISM) Dhanbad campus will be scientifically decomposed. The resulting organic material is planned to be enriched with essential nutrients and beneficial microorganisms to produce value-added organic manure.

The approach can be summarised as:

Dry Leaves → Scientific Decomposition → Nutrient & Microbial Enrichment → Organic Manure → Improved Soil Health

This makes the initiative more than a conventional waste-disposal exercise. It connects resource recovery with soil health and sustainable agriculture.

Rajeev Singh and Sansar Green: Taking the Idea Towards Implementation

Rajeev Singh, Director of Sansar Green Mission Private Limited, participated in the strategic discussion on the project along with Prof. Alok Kumar Das, Dean, Innovation & Corporate Relations, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad; Anjana, District Agriculture Officer, Dhanbad; and Mritunjay Sharma, Assistant Registrar, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad.

For Rajeev Singh and Sansar Green, the initiative aligns with a wider focus on soil health, microbial solutions, organic agriculture and practical environmental technologies.

The relationship between Sansar Green and IIT (ISM) Dhanbad is part of a broader institutional collaboration. In August 2025, IIT (ISM) officially announced a strategic collaboration between CIIE, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad Foundation and Sansar Green for AI-powered organic farming solutions, including soil-health analysis and region-specific biofertiliser production using microbial strains.

IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and Sansar Green: A Collaborative Model

One of the important aspects highlighted in the coverage is the proposed implementation model.

Sansar Green is expected to undertake the expenditure associated with machinery, equipment, manpower, production and other operational requirements, while IIT (ISM) Dhanbad will provide the necessary space for production and storage of the finished manure.

This creates a model that combines institutional infrastructure and technical knowledge with startup-led investment and implementation.

Beneficial Microorganisms Add Another Dimension

The proposed project does not stop at decomposing leaves.

After scientific decomposition, the organic material is planned to be enriched with required nutrients and beneficial microorganisms. This microbial component is important because soil biological activity plays an essential role in nutrient cycling and overall soil functioning.

The resulting manure is intended for applications including campus gardens, nurseries, plantations, landscaping, organic cultivation and soil restoration. Plans also envisage making it available to farmers, gardeners, nursery operators and the wider public.

From the IIT Campus to a Potential Replicable Model

The significance of the initiative could extend beyond IIT (ISM) Dhanbad.

Prof. Alok Kumar Das said the aim is to develop a model that could also be adopted by universities, government institutions, industries, housing societies and municipal bodies for better utilisation of biodegradable waste.

That gives the project a broader perspective:

Waste to Wealth | Soil Health | Microbial Technology | Resource Recovery | Circular Economy

A decentralised model of this kind could allow institutions to manage part of their biodegradable waste close to where it is generated while producing something useful for landscaping, plantation and soil improvement.

Media Attention Highlights a Larger Environmental Message

Coverage by Dainik Jagran and Dainik Bhaskar brings attention not only to the IIT (ISM) Dhanbad–Sansar Green initiative but also to a larger question: how should cities, institutions and communities view biological waste?

The answer may lie in changing the definition of “waste” itself.

A fallen leaf still contains organic matter. With appropriate scientific processing, nutrients and beneficial microorganisms, that material can potentially return to the soil rather than being burned or discarded.

For Rajeev Singh and Sansar Green, this represents a broader philosophy of connecting practical environmental problems with soil science, microbial technology and sustainable agriculture.

For IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, the initiative offers an opportunity to demonstrate how an institutional campus can become a platform for developing and testing practical sustainability solutions.

From Dry Leaves to Soil Wealth

The message emerging from the initiative is straightforward:

Don’t burn it.
Don’t waste it.
Process it scientifically.
Enrich it biologically.
Return it to the soil.

What begins as a fallen leaf can potentially become organic matter, microbial habitat and a useful input for new plant growth.

The IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and Sansar Green initiative therefore represents more than dry-leaf management. It is an attempt to close a biological loop—taking something normally discarded and returning its value to the soil.

That is Waste to Wealth in its most natural form.

A fallen leaf can become part of the next cycle of soil and plant life.

That is the principle behind turning green waste into soil wealth.
