"25 years of making a difference.”
"As I mark my 25th year, I am reminded of Henry Ford’s words: 'Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.' Thank you to Ethiraj College Trust , Faculty , students and my dearest colleagues of the past and present for making this journey of growth possible."
"Let us remember that, as much has been given us; much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds."

It was an enriching experience to have delivered my keynote through virtual mode at CLC International Conference, NSHM, Kolkatta.
Environmental literature on farming explores the deep-rooted relationship between agriculture and ecology, often focusing on sustainable, organic, and natural techniques to mitigate environmental impact. Key themes include traditional, regenerative, and nature-positive practices that enhance biodiversity, manage water, and regenerate soil health.
Key Aspects of Environmental Literature & Farming:
Traditional & Natural Farming: Historical texts, such as the Indian Vedas, and practices like RishiKrishi or Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF), advocate for using organic inputs (cow dung, urine) to improve soil fertility.
Sustainable Practices: Literature emphasizes methods like intercropping, mulching, and composting to manage pests and maintain biodiversity, rather than relying solely on chemical inputs.
Environmental Impact: Research highlights the need to balance high-yield farming with reducing externalities like greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient runoff.
Environmental Literacy in Agriculture: Educating farmers on environmental concepts leads to better, more sustainable decisions, such as improved water management and the adoption of organic farming practices.
Modern Sustainable Approaches: Recent literature covers controlled-environment agriculture, such as vertical farming and hydroponics, which are designed to be more resource-efficient.
Works in this field emphasize non-destructive resource management and the preservation of traditional, local knowledge to achieve long-term food security and environmental conservation.
