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.

For Rajeev Singh, Founder & Director of Sansar Green Mission Private Limited, sustainable agriculture begins with understanding the soil and recognising the value of natural resources that are often treated as waste.

This philosophy is reflected in a proposed initiative involving IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and its incubated startup, Sansar Green Mission Private Limited, to transform dry leaves generated within the IIT (ISM) campus into nutrient- and beneficial microorganism-enriched organic manure.

The initiative brings together green-waste management, soil health, microbial science and circular-economy principles to develop a practical “Waste to Wealth” model.

IIT (ISM) Dhanbad & Sansar Green: From Dry Leaves to Soil Wealth

Large institutional campuses generate significant quantities of dry leaves throughout the year. Instead of viewing these leaves simply as a waste-management challenge, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and Sansar Green are exploring their productive reuse for improving soil health.

Under the proposed initiative, dry leaves collected from the IIT (ISM) Dhanbad campus will undergo a scientific decomposition process.

The resulting organic material is planned to be enriched with essential nutrients and beneficial microorganisms to develop high-quality organic manure.

The process can be represented as:

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

The objective is not merely composting. The approach seeks to convert locally generated biological waste into a value-added soil resource.

Rajeev Singh’s Focus on Soil Health and Microbial Science

Rajeev Singh brings around two decades of practical experience in landscaping, plantation and plant-related activities to Sansar Green’s approach.

His broader vision focuses on an important principle: long-term plant health depends significantly on the condition of the soil and root zone.

Organic matter, soil structure, moisture, nutrients and beneficial microbial activity are interconnected. By combining decomposed organic material with appropriate nutrients and beneficial microorganisms, the initiative seeks to develop a more comprehensive approach to soil health.

Rather than looking at dry leaves as the end of a plant’s biological cycle, the concept is to return their organic value to the soil.

IIT (ISM) Dhanbad Hosts Discussion on the Proposed Initiative

The proposed initiative was discussed by Prof. Alok Kumar Das, Dean, CIIE, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad; Rajeev Singh, Founder & Director, Sansar Green Mission Private Limited; Mrs. Anjana, District Agriculture Officer, Dhanbad; and Mr. Mritunjay Sharma, Assistant Registrar, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad.

The discussion focused on developing a practical framework for processing dry leaves and creating enriched organic manure that can contribute to green-waste management and soil-health improvement.

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

Under the proposed arrangement, Sansar Green Mission Private Limited will undertake the investment required for machinery, equipment, manpower, production and operational activities.

IIT (ISM) Dhanbad will provide the necessary space for establishing the proposed production unit and storing the finished organic manure.

This model combines institutional infrastructure with startup-led investment and implementation, creating an opportunity to demonstrate a practical sustainability solution within a major educational campus.

From the IIT (ISM) Campus to Farmers and the Wider Community

The finished organic manure is planned for use in gardens, nurseries, plantations, landscaping and other green activities within the IIT (ISM) Dhanbad campus.

The initiative also envisages making the manure available to farmers, nursery operators, gardening enthusiasts and the wider community.

This could extend the impact of the initiative beyond campus waste management and demonstrate how locally available biomass can be transformed into a useful resource for soil and plant health.

IIT (ISM) Dhanbad Initiative Supports the “Waste to Wealth” Approach

The concept brings together three closely connected priorities:

Waste to Wealth | Soil Health | Circular Economy

Instead of burning, dumping or treating dry leaves merely as waste, the proposed system seeks to bring their organic matter back into the biological cycle.

Such decentralised processing could also help reduce the need to transport green waste over long distances while creating a useful product close to the point where the waste is generated.

A Model That Could Extend Beyond IIT (ISM) Dhanbad

If successfully implemented, the initiative could provide useful learning for other locations that generate substantial quantities of biodegradable green waste.

Similar approaches could potentially be explored in:

Educational institutions
Government campuses
Industrial and corporate campuses
Residential townships
Large gardens and parks
Urban local bodies

Each location would require an appropriate system based on the quantity and characteristics of available biomass, local soil conditions and intended end use.

Rajeev Singh and Sansar Green’s Larger Vision

For Rajeev Singh and the Sansar Green team, the initiative represents more than producing organic manure from dry leaves.

The broader objective is to demonstrate how soil science, beneficial microorganisms, organic resources and practical technology can work together to address real environmental and agricultural challenges.

It reflects a simple but important idea:

A dry leaf does not necessarily represent the end of a biological cycle. With appropriate scientific intervention, its nutrients and organic matter can return to the soil and contribute to new plant life.

Through its proposed collaboration with IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, Sansar Green aims to demonstrate how locally available biological waste can be transformed into a productive resource for healthier soil and a greener future.

From Waste to Wealth, and Back to the Soil

The future of sustainability does not always depend on discovering new resources. It can also begin with recognising the value of resources already available around us.

By connecting green-waste management with microbial science and soil health, the IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and Sansar Green initiative seeks to demonstrate a circular approach:

Waste becomes a resource.
Organic matter returns to the soil.
Microbial activity supports the biological cycle.
And healthier soil supports new plant life.

That is the larger vision behind turning dry leaves into soil wealth.
