Giridih, Jharkhand, 29 September 2026 — Mr. Rajeev Singh, Founder & Managing Director of Sansar Green, participated as a special guest in the TEJAS programme held at the District Collectorate, Giridih. Addressing young people, entrepreneurs, students and startup founders, he shared practical lessons on building businesses, adopting technology and turning local needs into entrepreneurial opportunities.

“You may start in a small town, but your dreams do not have to be small,” Mr. Singh said, encouraging participants to think beyond geographical boundaries while building on the strengths of their communities.

The Deputy Commissioner, Giridih, attended as Chief Guest. The programme also brought together the Deputy Development Commissioner, Divisional Forest Officer, General Manager of the Industries Department, DPIIT representatives, district administration officials, business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs.

Rajeev Singh Shares Lessons from Sansar Green’s Journey

Drawing on his experience building Sansar Green, Mr. Singh explained that entrepreneurship begins with understanding a problem that people need help solving.

For an agricultural enterprise, this could mean providing timely guidance to farmers, improving access to quality agricultural inputs or connecting local produce with suitable buyers. A clear understanding of the customer’s needs helps an entrepreneur develop a useful product or service.

He emphasised that a good idea must be supported by customer feedback, careful planning and consistent delivery. Building trust, developing a capable team and adapting to changing requirements are essential parts of the entrepreneurial journey.

Practical Guidance for Aspiring Startup Founders

During his address, Mr. Singh discussed startup development, innovation, Ease of Doing Business, digital commerce, technology adoption and market linkages.

He encouraged young entrepreneurs to take practical steps before committing substantial resources to an idea:

• Speak with potential customers to understand their needs.
• Develop and test a solution on a small scale.
• Assess costs, pricing and market demand.
• Build a dependable team and deliver on commitments.
• Improve products and services using customer feedback.

He highlighted the importance of early milestones. A successful trial, a satisfied customer or a repeat order can help founders understand what is working and where improvements are needed.

These experiences provide a stronger basis for expansion and help entrepreneurs make informed decisions about investment and growth.

Entrepreneurship Opportunities in Giridih and Jharkhand

Mr. Singh highlighted opportunities across agriculture, food processing, local products, manufacturing, digital services and rural enterprises in Giridih and Jharkhand.

Entrepreneurs who understand regional resources, customer preferences and local challenges have a valuable starting point. Connecting this knowledge with technology, consistent quality and access to markets can help a business serve customers beyond its immediate location.

He encouraged participants to explore opportunities within their own communities. Improving the packaging of a local product, providing a useful digital service or addressing an agricultural supply gap can become the foundation of a viable enterprise.

The priority, he explained, is to identify a genuine need and develop the capability to meet it reliably.

Connecting Agriculture, Technology and Markets

Agriculture offers several areas where entrepreneurs can develop practical solutions for farmers and rural businesses.

In his address, Mr. Singh discussed the importance of timely advice, reliable agricultural inputs and stronger market connections. These themes reflect Sansar Green’s broader approach to linking agricultural knowledge and innovation with everyday farming needs.

Through its “Mitti Se Mandi Tak” vision, Sansar Green focuses on the connections between soil health, agricultural inputs, farmer guidance and market access. This perspective encourages entrepreneurs to consider the wider agricultural value chain when identifying opportunities.

Technology can support this work, but its value depends on how effectively it addresses a user’s needs. Understanding the customer remains central to developing a service or product that people can adopt and trust.

Creating Employment and Rural Livelihood Opportunities

Mr. Singh also spoke about the wider contribution of entrepreneurship. As businesses develop, they can create opportunities for employees, farmers, suppliers, service providers and local partners.

He encouraged young people to consider how their ideas could benefit others alongside supporting their own professional growth.

For Sansar Green, this connection between enterprise and community development is an important part of its work. Under Mr. Singh’s leadership, the company remains committed to using agriculture, innovation and technology to develop useful solutions and support livelihood opportunities.

Collaboration to Strengthen the Local Startup Ecosystem

The TEJAS programme provided a platform for interaction among entrepreneurs, government representatives, students and members of the business community.

Mr. Singh highlighted the value of continued learning, experienced guidance and collaboration. Connections among administration, educational institutions, industry and startups can help aspiring founders develop their ideas and understand the steps required to build a business.

Sansar Green extends its sincere gratitude to the district administration, DPIIT representatives, the Industries Department and all organisers for the invitation and the opportunity to contribute to the discussion.

The message for young entrepreneurs was clear: start with a meaningful problem, test a practical solution and build steadily through experience. A business that begins by serving local needs can develop the capability to reach markets across India.

Rajeev Singh, Founder and Managing Director of Sansar Green, participated in the First Convocation of Garhwa University as an invited Industry Expert, marking another step in his continuing engagement with academic institutions, agricultural experts and rural communities.

The convocation was attended by Jharkhand Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar as the Chief Guest, along with Chancellor Dinesh Singh, Vice-Chancellor Dr. M. K. Singh, senior academicians and experts from different fields.

During the programme, Rajeev Singh had the opportunity to share his thoughts from the university platform and interact with members of the academic community.

For him, however, the visit was not limited to participation in a ceremonial event. It became an opportunity to explore how the knowledge and technical capabilities available within universities can be connected more effectively with farmers and agricultural communities.

Taking University Knowledge to the Field

Following the convocation, Rajeev Singh held discussions with academicians and experts associated with the university’s agriculture programme.

A central theme of the interaction was the possibility of connecting agricultural research, scientific expertise and technical knowledge available at the university with farmers in Giridih and other rural areas.

The discussions covered areas such as soil health, crop management, sustainable agriculture, biological and microbial-based agricultural technologies, farmer training, skill development and agricultural entrepreneurship.

The interaction also explored how problems experienced by farmers at the field level could be communicated to agricultural experts and how scientific knowledge could, in turn, be translated into practical solutions suitable for local farming conditions.

Building a Bridge Between Scientists and Farmers

Rajeev Singh believes that agricultural innovation creates its greatest impact when scientific knowledge moves beyond laboratories and classrooms and reaches the farmer.

“The real value of agricultural knowledge and technology developed in universities is realised when it reaches the field and the farmer. Our effort will be to connect farmers of Giridih with agricultural experts, new technologies and training opportunities available through institutions such as Garhwa University.”

The discussions highlighted the potential for regular interaction between farmers and agricultural experts.

Such engagement can create a two-way knowledge system: farmers bring their practical experience, local challenges and understanding of field conditions, while universities contribute scientific research, technology and specialist expertise.

Together, these perspectives can help identify solutions better suited to local agricultural conditions.

Agriculture, Skills and Entrepreneurship

Rajeev Singh’s interaction at Garhwa University also reflected a broader approach to rural development—one in which agriculture is connected with education, skills, technology and entrepreneurship.

Beyond introducing farmers to improved agricultural practices, institutional engagement can expose rural youth and aspiring entrepreneurs to new opportunities in agri-business, sustainable farming, biological inputs, value addition and related enterprises.

For Sansar Green, such academic–industry engagement complements its larger objective of bringing scientific agricultural practices closer to farmers and creating stronger connections among institutions, experts, entrepreneurs and rural communities.

From Institutional Dialogue to Ground-Level Impact

The discussions at Garhwa University considered taking the engagement forward through farmer training, technical interaction and exchange of agricultural knowledge.

The objective is practical: make institutional expertise more accessible to farmers and ensure that information about emerging agricultural technologies reaches the grassroots.

For Rajeev Singh, the visit represented the kind of collaboration that can contribute to a stronger agricultural ecosystem in Jharkhand—where universities generate knowledge, enterprises help translate it into practical applications, and farmers remain at the centre of the process.

His participation as an Industry Expert at the university’s first convocation therefore went beyond representing Giridih at an important academic occasion. It opened a dialogue on how education, scientific expertise, entrepreneurship and field-level experience can work together for the future of agriculture and rural development.

A Shared Vision

The interaction at Garhwa University reinforces a simple but important principle behind Rajeev Singh’s work:

Agricultural innovation should not end with research—it should ultimately improve what happens on the farm.

By strengthening connections between universities, agricultural experts, enterprises and farmers, Rajeev Singh aims to contribute towards a more knowledge-driven, sustainable and opportunity-oriented agricultural ecosystem in Jharkhand.

Raipur, 13 August 2026:

A seminar on “Rural Entrepreneurship: Innovation, Enterprise and Sustainable Livelihoods” was organised at Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya (IGKV), Raipur, on 13 August 2026. Agricultural scientists, faculty members, researchers, students and aspiring entrepreneurs participated in the programme to discuss emerging opportunities in India’s rural and agricultural economy.

Rajeev Singh, Founder of Sansar Green, delivered the keynote address. A leading Indian agripreneur, environmentalist and natural farming expert from Jharkhand, Singh has extensive experience in sustainable agriculture, soil health, bio-inputs, plantation development and rural entrepreneurship. He has also shared practical agricultural knowledge as an expert on All India Radio and Doordarshan.

The programme was held in the presence of Prof. Girish Chandel, Vice-Chancellor of IGKV; Dr. Vivek Kumar Tripathi, Director of Research Services; Dr. S. S. Tuteja, Director of Extension Services; Dr. Arti Guhey, Dean; senior agricultural scientists and faculty members.

Addressing the students, Singh said that rural India should not be viewed merely as a source of agricultural raw materials. Its villages have the potential to become centres of innovation, processing, manufacturing, digital services, value addition and employment generation.

He explained that many farmers apply fertilisers and other agricultural inputs without adequately understanding the nutrient status of their soil. This can increase cultivation costs and adversely affect soil health and crop productivity. Soil testing, location-specific microbial solutions and crop-specific nutrient management can help farmers use inputs more efficiently.

Singh presented Sansar Green’s “Mitti Se Mandi Tak” model, which integrates soil diagnostics, soil- and crop-specific bio-inputs, artificial intelligence-based crop advisory, farmer training, produce collection, value addition and market linkage.

He highlighted the importance of developing beneficial microbial strains suited to local soil and climatic conditions. Agricultural solutions developed for one region may not provide the same results in another. Biofertilisers and biological crop solutions should therefore be selected according to the soil, crop, climate and nutrient requirements of each location.

Discussing opportunities for young entrepreneurs, Singh identified bio-input manufacturing, soil-testing services, nursery development, seed production, grain cleaning and grading, food processing, farm machinery services, digital crop advisory, agricultural logistics, packaging and direct-to-consumer marketing as promising rural business sectors.

He advised students to begin their entrepreneurial journey by identifying genuine problems faced by farmers and developing affordable, practical and scalable solutions. He emphasised that rural enterprises must earn farmers’ confidence through transparent communication, consistent product quality, field demonstrations and measurable results.

An interactive session was also organised during which students raised questions about startup funding, incubation, product development, technology commercialisation, certification, digital marketing and the challenges involved in establishing an agricultural enterprise. Singh shared experiences from his entrepreneurial journey and encouraged students to undertake field visits and interact directly with farmers before preparing their business models.

Prof. Girish Chandel highlighted the important role of agricultural universities in connecting scientific research with farmers, startups and rural industries. He underlined the need for entrepreneurship-oriented agricultural education that can encourage students to become innovators and employment creators.

Dr. S. S. Tuteja discussed the importance of strengthening cooperation among research institutions, agricultural extension services and rural entrepreneurs so that proven technologies can reach farmers more effectively. Dr. Vivek Kumar Tripathi highlighted the need to transform scientific research into practical and commercially viable solutions while maintaining quality and scientific credibility.

The programme concluded with a call for closer collaboration among agricultural universities, scientists, startups, farmers, government institutions and rural communities. The seminar reinforced the message that rural entrepreneurship can create sustainable livelihoods while improving soil health, agricultural productivity, local value addition and farmers’ access to markets.
