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.

Dhanbad | 16 September 2026

Hindustan, Dhanbad Edition, has featured an environmental initiative involving IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and its incubated startup Sansar Green Mission Private Limited to transform fallen dry leaves into nutrient-rich organic manure.

Published on 16 September 2026, the Hindustan report highlights an approach in which dry leaves—often burned or discarded—would instead be scientifically decomposed and enriched with organic nutrients and beneficial microorganisms. The objective is to improve the management of green waste while supporting soil health and organic farming.

Read the Hindustan coverage

Hindustan Highlights a New Use for Fallen Dry Leaves

Dry leaves are generated in large quantities across institutional campuses, gardens and public spaces. Burning them can contribute to air pollution, while improper disposal means the organic matter contained in the leaves is not productively utilised.

The IIT (ISM) Dhanbad–Sansar Green initiative seeks to address this by treating dry leaves as a biological resource rather than simply as waste.

According to Hindustan, the leaves would be scientifically decomposed and then combined with appropriate organic nutrients and beneficial microorganisms to develop nutrient-rich organic manure.

The proposed process can be summarised as:

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

This approach brings together waste management and soil improvement within a circular biological system.

IIT (ISM) Dhanbad & Sansar Green: Institution and Startup Working Together

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

Their participation brings together an academic and innovation institution, an agritech startup and the district agriculture administration around a practical environmental and agricultural challenge.

The initiative is also consistent with the broader relationship between Sansar Green and IIT (ISM) Dhanbad. Hindustan previously reported Sansar Green’s collaboration with IIT (ISM) Dhanbad on AI-driven organic farming solutions, including soil-health analysis and the development of region-specific bio-input solutions.

Rajeev Singh & Sansar Green: Connecting Waste Management with Soil Health

For Rajeev Singh and Sansar Green, the initiative extends beyond conventional composting.

The proposed approach seeks to retain the organic value of dry leaves and improve the decomposed material through nutrient and microbial enrichment.

Beneficial microorganisms are an important part of this concept because biological processes in soil contribute to nutrient cycling and overall soil functioning.

This creates a broader framework:

Waste to Wealth | Soil Health | Beneficial Microorganisms | Organic Farming | Circular Economy

The objective is therefore not simply to dispose of leaves differently, but to explore how biological waste can be converted into a useful soil resource.

From IIT (ISM) Dhanbad Campus to Farmers

The potential applications of the finished organic manure extend beyond waste management.

Hindustan reports that the initiative is intended to benefit public spaces and agriculture, with the processed material supporting improved soil health and organic farming.

Such enriched organic material could have applications in campus gardens, nurseries, plantations, landscaping and other green areas, while the broader initiative envisages benefits for farmers and other users.

This creates a cycle in which biological material generated locally can potentially be processed locally and returned to productive use.

A Practical Waste-to-Wealth Model

One of the strongest aspects of the initiative is its simplicity.

A material already available in abundance—fallen leaves—is treated as the starting point.

Instead of:

Dry Leaves → Burning / Disposal → Waste

the proposed model seeks to establish:

Dry Leaves → Processing → Biological Enrichment → Soil Resource → New Plant Growth

This represents the fundamental principle of a circular economy: retaining the value of a resource for as long as practicable rather than allowing it to become waste after a single stage of use.

IIT (ISM) Dhanbad’s Focus on Environmental Innovation

The initiative also demonstrates how an educational and research institution can become a setting for practical sustainability solutions.

Hindustan quoted Prof. Alok Kumar Das as describing dry leaves as a useful source of organic matter rather than waste, with the effort intended to contribute both to waste management and soil health.

By connecting institutional knowledge with startup-led implementation, initiatives of this nature can potentially serve as demonstration models before being considered for wider applications.

Hindustan Coverage Brings the Initiative to a Wider Audience

Hindustan’s coverage gives public visibility to an environmental issue that affects universities, government campuses, industries, residential complexes and cities across India.

Every year, large quantities of leaves and other biodegradable materials are generated. How those resources are managed can influence both waste-management systems and environmental outcomes.

The IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and Sansar Green initiative offers a different perspective:

A fallen leaf is not automatically waste.

It contains organic matter that can potentially be processed and returned to the soil.

For Rajeev Singh and Sansar Green, this approach connects the company’s work in soil health, microbial technology and sustainable agriculture with a practical environmental application.

For IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, it provides an opportunity to explore an institution-based model of sustainable green-waste management.

From Dry Leaves Back to Living Soil

The larger message behind the initiative is simple:

Don’t burn a biological resource when it can be reused.

Don’t discard organic matter when it can potentially return to the soil.

Through scientific decomposition, nutrient enrichment and beneficial microorganisms, dry leaves can become part of another biological cycle.

From fallen leaves to organic manure, and from organic manure back to plants and soil—the initiative demonstrates what “Waste to Wealth” can mean in practical terms.

The Hindustan coverage of 16 September 2026 brings this idea into wider public focus and highlights the collaboration involving IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, Sansar Green and Rajeev Singh in exploring a more sustainable approach to green waste and soil health.

Dhanbad | 16 September 2026

Prabhat Khabar, Dhanbad Edition, has highlighted an important sustainability initiative involving IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and its incubated startup, Sansar Green Mission Private Limited, focused on transforming dry leaves into nutrient- and beneficial microorganism-enriched organic manure.

The coverage draws attention to an idea with a simple environmental message: dry leaves should not necessarily end up as waste. With scientific processing, their organic value can be returned to the soil.

The initiative brings together IIT (ISM) Dhanbad’s institutional and innovation ecosystem with the implementation capabilities of Sansar Green, led by Rajeev Singh, to explore a practical model connecting green-waste management with soil health and organic agriculture.

Prabhat Khabar Highlights a “Waste to Wealth” Approach

The Prabhat Khabar report focuses on the proposed transformation of fallen dry leaves from the IIT (ISM) campus into nutrient-rich organic manure.

Instead of burning leaves or disposing of them as waste, the proposed process involves scientifically decomposing the material and subsequently enriching it with necessary nutrients and beneficial microorganisms.

The process can be understood as:

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

Other published coverage of the initiative similarly reports that the objective is to reduce waste, improve soil health and support organic farming.

IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and Sansar Green Bring Institution and Startup Together

The initiative represents an institution–startup collaboration aimed at translating an environmental challenge into a practical application.

The strategic discussion involved Prof. Alok Kumar Das of IIT (ISM) Dhanbad; Rajeev Singh, Director of Sansar Green Mission Private Limited; Anjana, District Agriculture Officer, Dhanbad; and Mritunjay Sharma, Assistant Registrar, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad.

The relationship between IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and Sansar Green is broader than this individual project. IIT (ISM) officially announced in August 2025 that CIIE, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad Foundation and Sansar Green had entered into a strategic collaboration for AI-powered organic farming solutions. That collaboration includes soil-health analysis and region-specific biofertiliser production using microbial strains.

Rajeev Singh and Sansar Green: From Green Waste to Soil Resource

For Rajeev Singh and the Sansar Green team, the proposed dry-leaf project connects naturally with their wider focus on soil health, organic farming, microbial technologies and farmer-oriented agricultural solutions.

The concept goes beyond simply producing conventional compost.

Following decomposition, the organic material is planned to be enriched with appropriate nutrients and beneficial microorganisms. This approach aims to retain the value of organic matter while creating a more useful soil input.

The larger idea is to view biological waste differently: what falls from a tree can potentially return to the soil and support another cycle of plant growth.

Sansar Green to Support Investment and Operations

A significant feature of the proposed model is the division of responsibilities between IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and Sansar Green.

Published reports state that Sansar Green will undertake expenditure related to machinery, equipment, manpower, production and operational requirements, while IIT (ISM) Dhanbad will provide the necessary space for production and storage.

This creates a practical framework combining institutional infrastructure with startup-led investment and implementation.

Organic Manure for IIT (ISM) Campus and the Wider Community

The proposed organic manure could be used in IIT (ISM) Dhanbad’s gardens, nurseries, plantations, landscaping and other green activities.

There are also plans to make the finished manure available to farmers, nursery operators, gardeners and the wider public.

This is particularly relevant because IIT (ISM) already identifies composting, landscaping, plantation and soil enrichment as parts of its broader sustainability practices. The institute states that biodegradable kitchen and garden waste is processed into compost for landscaping as part of its progress towards a zero-waste campus model.

A Model with Potential Beyond IIT (ISM) Dhanbad

The significance of the initiative could eventually extend beyond a single campus.

Published coverage reports that the intention is to explore a model that could potentially be adopted by universities, government institutions, industries, housing societies and municipal bodies for better utilisation of biodegradable waste.

Such a decentralised approach could connect several objectives:

Waste to Wealth | Soil Health | Beneficial Microorganisms | Organic Farming | Resource Recovery | Circular Economy

Instead of transporting or disposing of green waste, institutions could potentially process suitable biomass close to where it is generated and reuse the resulting material for landscaping, plantation and soil improvement.

Prabhat Khabar Coverage Brings the Initiative into Public Focus

The Prabhat Khabar feature gives wider visibility to the environmental and agricultural significance of the IIT (ISM) Dhanbad–Sansar Green initiative.

For IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, it reflects an emphasis on innovation and sustainable campus practices.

For Rajeev Singh and Sansar Green, it represents an opportunity to translate work in soil health and microbial technology into a visible, practical application.

For farmers and the wider community, the concept demonstrates how an everyday material—fallen leaves—can potentially be converted into a useful agricultural resource instead of being treated simply as waste.

The underlying message is straightforward:

Don’t burn the leaves.
Don’t waste their organic value.
Process them scientifically.
Enrich them biologically.
Return them to the soil.

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.

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.

Dhanbad | September 2026

An initiative involving IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and its incubated startup Sansar Green Mission Private Limited has drawn media attention for its approach to turning dry leaves into a useful resource for soil health.

The proposed initiative aims to scientifically process dry leaves generated on the IIT (ISM) Dhanbad campus and convert them into nutrient-rich organic manure enriched with beneficial microorganisms. The broader objective is to connect environmental conservation, sustainable waste management, organic farming and soil health through a practical “Waste to Wealth” model.

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

Large campuses and public spaces generate significant quantities of fallen leaves. When leaves are burned, they contribute to air pollution; when they are simply discarded, potentially useful organic matter is lost.

The proposed project seeks to address both issues by bringing the material back into the biological cycle.

Under the initiative, dry leaves collected from the IIT (ISM) campus are planned to undergo scientific decomposition. The resulting organic material would then be enriched with appropriate nutrients and beneficial microorganisms to create value-added organic manure.

The proposed process can be summarised as:

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

This approach moves beyond simply disposing of green waste and instead looks at it as a potential resource for soil and plant health.

Rajeev Singh and Sansar Green’s Focus on Soil Health

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

For Sansar Green, the initiative also connects with its wider work around organic agriculture, microbial technologies and soil health.

The relationship between Sansar Green and IIT (ISM) Dhanbad extends beyond the dry-leaf initiative. 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. That collaboration included soil-health analysis and region-specific biofertiliser production using microbial strains.

The dry-leaf initiative therefore represents another potential application of the broader idea of combining scientific research with practical, field-oriented sustainability solutions.

Sansar Green to Invest in Production and Operations

An important feature of the proposed model is the division of responsibilities between the institution and the startup.

According to published reports, Sansar Green would bear the costs associated with machinery, equipment, manpower, production and other operational requirements. IIT (ISM) Dhanbad would provide the necessary space for production and storage of the finished organic manure.

This creates a collaborative framework combining institutional infrastructure with startup-led investment and implementation.

Beneficial Microorganisms at the Centre of the Approach

Organic matter is only one part of healthy soil. Biological activity also plays an important role in nutrient cycling and maintaining a functioning soil ecosystem.

The proposed process therefore envisages enriching scientifically decomposed leaf material with beneficial microorganisms and nutrients rather than treating the project solely as conventional leaf composting.

The intended result is an organic input that can support applications such as gardening, nursery production, plantation, landscaping, organic cultivation and soil restoration.

Benefits Beyond the IIT (ISM) Dhanbad Campus

The finished manure is intended for applications within the IIT (ISM) Dhanbad campus, including gardens, nurseries, plantations and landscaping. Published reports also state that there are plans to make it available to farmers, gardeners, nursery operators and the wider public.

This gives the initiative a potential impact beyond campus waste management.

If the model proves practical and scalable, similar approaches could be considered by universities, government institutions, industrial campuses, housing societies and urban local bodies that generate significant quantities of biodegradable green waste. This broader replication potential was also highlighted in the reported comments of Prof. Alok Kumar Das.

IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, Sansar Green and the Waste-to-Wealth Approach

At its core, the initiative connects four areas:

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

Instead of viewing fallen leaves as material that needs to be removed, the approach considers whether their organic value can be recovered and returned to the soil.

For Rajeev Singh and Sansar Green, this aligns with a broader focus on developing practical agricultural and environmental solutions through science, microorganisms and technology.

For IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, the initiative also demonstrates how an institutional campus can potentially serve as a setting for developing and demonstrating sustainable solutions.

From Waste Back to the Soil

The larger significance of the initiative lies in a simple shift in perspective: a dry leaf does not necessarily have to become waste.

Through scientific decomposition, nutrient enrichment and beneficial microorganisms, it can potentially re-enter the biological cycle as a useful soil resource.

If successfully implemented, the IIT (ISM) Dhanbad–Sansar Green model could demonstrate how institutional green waste can be managed closer to its source while simultaneously creating a useful input for soil and plant health.

It is a practical expression of the circular-economy principle:

Waste becomes a resource.
Organic matter returns to the soil.
Beneficial microorganisms support biological processes.
And the cycle begins again.

The post Media Coverage: IIT (ISM) Dhanbad & Sansar Green Join Hands to Turn Dry Leaves into Soil Wealth appeared first on Sansar Green .

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.

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.

Soil-testing technology and farmer-centric agricultural solutions discussed at a national innovation platform

Dhanbad | 9 August 2026

Agricultural innovation from Giridih, Jharkhand, reached a prominent national technology platform as Rajeev Singh, Director of Sansar Green Mission Pvt. Ltd., participated in the 20th Symposium on National Frontiers of Engineering and Innovation in Manufacturing Practices 2026 at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad.

The national symposium brought together scientists, researchers, academicians, technology experts, industry representatives, entrepreneurs and innovators from across India. Participation from leading technical institutions and senior academic and technology leaders made the event an important platform for knowledge exchange, innovation and collaboration.

From Giridih to IIT (ISM) Dhanbad

Rajeev Singh’s participation highlighted the growing potential of agricultural innovation emerging from Jharkhand.

Based in Giridih, Singh is working towards connecting scientific knowledge and technology with practical agricultural requirements. His current focus includes soil health, soil testing and farmer-centric agricultural solutions.

During the symposium, he presented the concept of a soil-testing prototype aimed at making soil assessment more practical, accessible and useful for farmers.

The initiative is intended to help farmers understand their soil condition and nutrient requirements more effectively, supporting better-informed decisions related to crop nutrition and soil management.

Discussion with Prof. Alok Das

During the event, Rajeev Singh had an insightful discussion with Prof. Alok Das, Chairman, CIIE, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad.

The discussion focused on agricultural innovation, technology-driven soil testing and the development of practical solutions that can address real challenges faced by farmers.

The conversation also explored the importance of connecting research, technology and entrepreneurship so that innovative concepts can eventually be translated into useful field-level applications.

For Singh, agricultural technology must be more than technically advanced. It should be simple, practical, affordable and relevant to the farmer.

Making Soil Testing More Farmer-Friendly

Soil health is fundamental to productive and sustainable agriculture. However, scientific soil information becomes truly valuable when farmers can understand it and use it for better agricultural decisions.

The soil-testing concept presented by Rajeev Singh focuses on this important gap.

The objective is to develop a solution that can make soil assessment:

• Simple and farmer-friendly
• Scientifically reliable
• Practical for agricultural use
• More accessible to farmers
• Useful for crop and nutrient management

The approach reflects a broader farmer-centric philosophy in which technology is developed around real agricultural needs.

A National Platform for Jharkhand

For Jharkhand, the participation of a Giridih-based entrepreneur at a national technology platform such as IIT (ISM) Dhanbad is significant.

Jharkhand has substantial potential in agriculture, AgriTech, sustainable farming, entrepreneurship and grassroots innovation. Entrepreneurs from districts such as Giridih can contribute to solving local agricultural challenges through technology and scientific approaches.

Taking these ideas to national platforms provides opportunities to connect with scientists, researchers, technology institutions and industry experts across India.

It also demonstrates that innovation emerging from smaller cities and districts can become part of the wider national innovation ecosystem.

Connecting Science, Technology and Farmers

The broader objective of Sansar Green Mission is to develop agricultural solutions that combine scientific knowledge with practical applications.

Rajeev Singh believes that meaningful agricultural innovation begins with understanding the actual problems faced by farmers.

Technology should ultimately move beyond laboratories and presentations and create measurable value for farmers in the field.

The soil-testing initiative is being developed with this objective — to connect scientific soil information with practical agricultural decision-making.

Looking Ahead

Rajeev Singh’s participation at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad marks another step in taking Giridih’s agricultural innovation to a wider national platform.

The interaction with experts from the scientific and technology ecosystem can help create new possibilities for research, collaboration and further development of farmer-focused solutions.

The journey from Giridih to IIT (ISM) Dhanbad reflects the potential of local entrepreneurship to contribute to India’s growing agricultural technology ecosystem.

The vision is simple:

“Better understanding of soil. Better nutrition. Better crops. Stronger farmers.”
