"Herbal formulation for pest control: Kamaal 505
Mr. Ishwar Singh Kundu, Arabale agriscience, KAILRAM, District Kaithal, Haryana-136117, khlagro. in sunil.kamaal@gmail.com, kisan.kamaal@gmail.com
Problem Addressed: Excessive reliance on chemical fertilizers and their imbalanced use has affected soil health. The micronutrient deficiency in soil has increased. Organic carbon which is very essential to hold the important nutrients in the soil has also decreased drastically. Loss of Organic carbon can lead to a reduction in soil fertility, land degradation, and even desertification.
Technology: This is a “multiutility innovation” based on plant ingredients. It acts as a growth promoter, fungicide, and termiticide. Due to its high organic content, it improves soil fertility, increases water intake, and enhances the water- holding capacity of the soil. Thus, it can also be used for soil reclamation
Societal Impact: By use of this Improves soil micro and macro fauna which results in the Cost of cultivation decreasing up to the extent of about 47% and It enhances the water-holding capacity of saline and compact soil.
Current Status: Ishwar Singh has won many awards for his innovations including at Rashtrapati Bhavan through HBN and NIF. He had to struggle a lot ot get approval by the agricultural department but his persistence paid. He bought eroded sandune infested land in Haryana and reclaimed it into a green patch through his products and techniques. He sells his products all over the country.
Dryland agroforestry
Mr. Sundaram, Danta village, Sikar district, Rajasthan undaramverma@yahoo.co.in
Problem Addressed: The survival rate of tree sapling plantation is generally less than 35 per cent in arid and semi-arid regions. Sundaram realised the value of agroforestry plantations in Dry regions not only for augmenting income of farmers but also for inducing climate resilience. His technique ensures more than 80 per cent survival rate of saplings with just one litre water per plant once in its lifetime.
Technology: The technique involves plowing the field up to a foot deep before the rains. The field is planked and pressed so as to break the capillaries soon after the rains are over. Water that has already charged the soil can not easily be lost by evaporation now. The saplings that are to be grown are sowed in a pit six inches further deep and then covered with soil and watered (one liter) in October- November. Idea is that unlike the plants sown in monsoon season; these will need to send roots deeper because there is no moisture in the upper layers of the soil.
Societal Impact: The technique utilizes only one liter of water throughout the lifetime of the plant and provides a best-suited solution for conserving water in arid, semi-arid regions as well as avenues of agroforestry leading to land management, revenue generation, and sustainable livelihood.
Current Status: Sundaram has shown effectiveness of his technique in dryland plantations sponsored by ONGC and several other agencies/individuals. He has pursued many other improvements such as rainwater storage in farm ponds and development of several crop varieties for chilies, chickpea Mung bean, cluster bean etc., among many others. He was awarded with Padma Shree honour in 2021 besides numerous other awards. He has been a very devoted collaborator of Honey Bee Network and has helped in scouted many other grassroots innovators.
KASHMIRI GAS SAMOVAR
Shazia Jan
Quajugund, Kulgam, Jammu & Kashmir
Problem Addressed: The conventional method of using coal for cooking in rural areas of Kashmir is time-consuming, causes irritation to the eyes, produces lots of ash, causes black patches on hands & clothes.. While sipping tea with her family one day, Shazia Jan, innovator got an idea to use LPG in the samovar.
Technology: The innovator has modified the traditional Kashmiri Samovar by inserting a modified curved shaped gas burner inside the cylindrical shaped fire container. She has modified the size of the common regulator by replacing the inside nipple of it so that it (the regulator) would be convenient for small gas cylinders. She has also added supports to the rim of the samovar so that one can place a container for cooking as well.
Societal Impact: Kashmiri Gas Samovar takes only 10 to 15 minutes to serve 25 cups of tea hence not only saving precious time but a lot of human effort as well without producing ash. Moreover, extra heat which got wasted in traditional samovar can also be utilized in this innovative gadget as external supports on the rim have been provided to hold utensils.
Current Status: Shazia Jan is a serial inventor and has numerous other innovative ideas for development. She is looking for industrial partners to take her innovation forward. Her innovation has been show cased at several fora. She was also invited at IIMA to share her story with MBA students.
Improved variety of carrot (Laxmangarh Selection)
Smt. Santosh Pachar, Jhugar Badi, Sikar District, Rajasthan
Problem Addressed: many carrot varieties often have forked edge which gets lesser value in market than the ones which have pointed edge. The production practices need to improve apart from the use of good seed to imrove productivity and table quality. Santosh, innovator has addressed some of the challenges in carrot production in semi arid Rajasthan.
Technology: The selected seeds are stored in a cotton bag. Five kg/acre seeds are used for sowing. Prior to sowing the seeds are scarified by rubbing them with a palm. After scarification, seeds are treated with sesame oil and then sown in pre-prepared plots (size 15 x 20 ft) in rows. After sowing the fields are irrigatedwith sprinklers to maintain the high soil moisture. Light irrigation should be given up to one month using sprinklers. After one-month normal irrigation process is followed.
Societal Impact: Having distributed seeds of her variety, she has also taught farmers the practices she followed which results in a better farming product.
Current Status: Santosh sells seeds at indiamart and several other sites. Pachar has also, “developed a new pollination technique by mixing 15 ml of honey and 5 ml of ghee with 1 kg of carrot seeds and drying them in the shade. The seeds germinated quickly, and with minimal spoilage, it took 75 days to yield carrots 1.5 to 2.5 ft in length. Pachar had not only enhanced the sweetness of the carrots by 5 per cent, but had also amplified production by one- and-a half to two times”. She has become a successful entrepreneur and has been awarded by HBN and NIF in 2103 and 2015 at Rashtrapati Bhavan. Also see Honey Bee Newsletter Vol 23-4- Oct 2012 & March 2013.
Natural Water Cooler
Arvindbhai Ranchodbhai Patel,
92/93 PRAGATI PARK SOCIETY, PART II, B/H SEVENTH DAY HIGH SCHOOL, MANINAGAR EAST, AHMEDABAD-380008
Problem Addressed: The idea of the water cooler occurred to the innovator when he was running a fever. His wife repeatedly applied cold packs to his forehead to keep the temperature in check. This gave him the idea to use the same principle to develop a water cooler, which would not require electricity and easy to maintain at a low cost.
Technology: In his natural water cooler, water i s passed through copper coils covered with cotton cloth. The coil is
continuously moistened by a dripper. Evaporation of water from the cloth wrapped on the coil cools the water inside. A solar fan has also been installed on the top to hasten the evaporation and thus the cooling.
Societal Impact: The cooler is useful for supplying cool drinking water in hot summer, particularly in areas where electricity is absent or erratic. It is suitable for schools, banks, hospitals, bus and railway stations, and similar public places.
Current Status: The innovator is manufacturing 100 and
150 liters capacity coolers. About 600 units of different capacities have been sold so far and are in use. Using the same concept, he has also been trying to develop cold storage for vegetables. His son Jaimin currently runs the enterprise and has successfully scaled up the business.
Bamboo Splint Making Machine
Lalbiakzuala Ralte,Y-143 A/1, Ramhlun, South Aizwal, District-Aizawl State-Mizoram Post Code-796012
Mob: 09436197191/ 9436197191 Email : raltebz@gmail.com
Problem Addressed: Incense sticks made from bamboo are the major raw materials used in the Agarbatti industry. India is the largest producer of Incense stick in the world. The tribal people in the interior part of North-Eastern states like Tripura, Assam, Mizoram, etc., make strips and sticks by conventional methods using knives. It is a very tedious, time-consuming way of making sticks. Electricity-operated high-capacity machines are only suitable for industries.There is a need for low cost, easy to operate machine r individual rural poor who often do not have access to electricity.
Technology: The innovator has developed a manually operated machine that can slice bamboo strips as well as convert the strips into sticks. One needs to load the thick bamboo piece and slide the cutter to and fro through the handle. This results in 1.2 mm thin slices of bamboo. Those slices are collected and at a time about 50 slices are fed vertically. The cutter is again moved to and fro resulting in splints of 1.2 mm in width and thickness at a time. An average person can make about 5000 splints per hour. It first makes a strip and the same machine cuts these into sticks.
Societal Impact: The machine is easy to operate and Useful to generate employment in rural areas. Also useful for making toothpicks, ice cream sticks, etc.
Current Status: The innovator, Ralte started business in a partnership with Silo in the beginning. But now he runs it independently. The sticks imported from China are round and cheaper. He is developing a machine to make similar sticks at competitive cost. His business has expanded a great deal. He has made many more machines for making noodles, dressing chicken, cutting fodder for pigs etc.

Cow dung pot Machine
Gopal Bhai Suratiya and modified by Paresh Panchal Address: Gopal Bhai, Vill and Po, Kantholi, Tal. Sankheda, Vadodara Distt, Gujarat 391145
Paresh Panchal: 302, Kalptaru complex behind Premchandnagar, Parivar society pase satellite, Ahmedabad 380052
Problem Addressed: In nurseries, conventionally plastic bags are used to grow plant saplings. There are many disadvantages associated with plastic bags like not being biodegradable, having zero porosity, and hence not being eco-friendly. Moreover, after germination, the bag has to be torn off to facilitate root growth and in case the bag is not torn properly the plant gets damaged. So, innovators decide to make pots from cow dung.
Technology: Gopal Bhai Suratia made a crude pot manually. Paresh bhai was linked with him by Honey Bee Network and a machine for this purpose was designed by Paresh Bhai. They have used animal manure normally called Cow dung and wheat flour (in the ratio of 20:1 Kg) and agriculture waste (residue of harvested produce like wheat husk etc.) as a basic raw material to prepare the pot. To protect the pot from pest attacks (like termites), spoiled bajra flour or powder or shells of castor leaf or neem leaf can be added to the mixture. Spoiled bajra flour or castor leaf or neem leaf are having insecticidal properties which prevent termite attack Societal Impact: It is bio-degradable and fertile and the manufacturing process does not cause pollution. The water absorption rate by the pot is very slow and therefore prevents the leaching of nutrients. The growth of the plant is faster in a cow dung pot than in other/normal pots. This can also be used for sowing costly seeds directly in the field to get maximum germination and growth of the plants/ saplings. Employment generation is possible through local manufacturing and sourcing of these cow dung cups.
Current Status: Pareshbhai has sold more than 3500 units of their innovative product. Both Gopal Bhai and Paresh bhai have filed a patent in 2017 on this machine, application number 201721021475 A. This was displayed at Rashtrapati Bhavan at Festival of innovation by HBN and NIF.

Sivakumar Modha
Address:-GROUND FLOOR, H.NO.5-9-262/C, PRASHANTH NAGAR, RAJIV GANDHI NAGAR, KUKATPALLY, HYDERABAD, Telangana, 500072
Problem Addressed: During a visit to the weaving factory the Innovator noted the complexity of punch card-based Jacquard mechanism. Each pattern or motif design is the result of several thousand manual punch cards that are laced together to work in tangent with the loom.
Not only is this process quite time-consuming, but it is also a painstaking activity for the weavers as the efforts of the weavers are quite short-lived. Moreover, the life of these punch cards lasted only up to two-three years. And it isn’t even a profitable balance of efforts with returns. Changes in design required new punch cards.
Technology: After many years of research the innovator designed the electronic Jacquard machine and named thedevice Modha Device. With the Modha device, any pattern or design can be woven into battery-operated fabric. A pen drive with image files needs to be connected to the machine, which is already connected to the loom.
Societal Impact: With Modha Device incorporated into a loom, the same design which used to take at least 15 days to a month earlier can easily be created within minutes with much less time invested for design creation. This product is aimed at enhancing the weaver’s ability to optimally utilize their time and produce more saris resulting in higher income also it facilitates weavers to undertake complex designs with utmost ease, thereby increasing their earnings.
Current Status: The innovator has already sold more than 100 units of his innovation. He was awarded the HBNCRIIA international award by GIAN last year. He is expecting the state government to provide subsidy. He has received support from other innovators like Mallesham and also from Pallesruijana.

Rajkumar Rathor
Address: Near jamoniya tank village jamoniya tank district sehore Madhya Pradesh 466001
Problem Addressed: In 1997, Innovator chanced upon a different plant in his field of ICPL-87 variety of pigeon pea. He marked this unusual plant. It had bigger flowers with two colors; its leaves were long and it remained green for a longer duration. Further, its pods grew at the top and in bunches. Noticing the feature, he thought if he was able to increase the pod bearing and the number of branches in the then the yield can be improved.
Technology: The Innovator tried cutting the top a day prior to weeding to facilitate better growth, restrict further vegetative growth, and enhance branching. Six branches emerged as a result. He repeated the practice of clipping/ topping twice (45 and 90 DAS) and observed that a total of 12-14 branches emerged from the plant. He repeated this for three crop seasons thereby standardizing the technique and multiplying seeds to a sufficient number by 2000.
Societal Impact: Having distributed seeds of variety, he has also taught farmers the practices they followed which results in a better farming product and profit for farmers.
Current Status: The innovator has good demand for his product and he has already sold more than 50 quintiles of seed till now. There is good demand for his seed. He does not mind if the farmers, after buying once, make their own seeds.
