"Astra castra, gnomen lumen."
I was sitting outside my tent, under a starry sky. All was silent and serene in the hot April night. As was my wont, I idly gazed around the purpling night scene enjoying the luxury of absolute solitude out here in Sirohi, on the southern border of Rajasthan.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a shadowy figure made its presence felt.

Welcome to Agro Wisdom!
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Welcome to my blog!
This blog is dedicated to all those who are concerned about Mother Ceres and Mother Gaia.
Let me introduce myself… I’m a young entrepreneur operating in India. My main base of operation is Rajasthan. I have sizable operations in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Chhatisgarh, and Uttaranchal.
I design, develop, and set up a variety of environmental control structures for the agricultural sector. I have close links with research units in universities and in commercial enterprises.
I handle turnkey projects involving application of high technology processes and structures to grow plants and crops.
I am a visiting faculty and technical expert on agricultural technology for Allahabad University.
~*~
I believe that the only way to improve the social condition of countries like India is by enhancing the technology level in the agricultural sector. I don’t mean using harvesters and tractors and that stuff. I mean that we can really perform high-tech magic by using environmental control structures and techniques. We can enhance agricultural output while saving water and soil resources.
Take for instance, the case of drip irrigation…. This simple technique helps to conserve precious water in a big way. In a typical setup the reduction is by a factor of five. If the “before” consumption is 10 litres then the “after” consumption is just 2 litres. That means we save 80% water on average. With just a little more tweaking and investment the reduction reaches a factor of ten which translates to a 90% saving. Cool, isn’t it?
~*~
My aim in starting this blog is to get more inputs from like minded persons. Though I am primarily interested in agriculture as a development tool in India, I do not mean to limit myself or the ambit of this blog to the national confines of India. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to know that agriculture is a global requirement – no agriculture, no food; no food, no animal (or human) life! That’s quite apocalyptic, ain’t it?
So come on all of you, young or old, one and all – do write in and let us all know just what you think of agriculture as a means of social development.
~*~
I’ll tell you more about my work as we go along. This is pretty long for a first post, and I don’t want to bore you to death.
Bye for now!
Over and out from yours truly (Avinash Dubey)
