Nayana Anand from Karnataka makes banana flour and prepares dishes such as chapatis, cutlets, cookies, and dry gulab jamuns, alongside helping farmers in the state prevent large amounts of wastage of their harvest.

Dr Nedunchezhiyan Maniyam, principal scientist at the Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR) - Central Tuber Crops Research Institute (CTCRI), Bhubaneshwar, has developed two new varieties of sweet potato - Krishna (purple) and Sona (orange).

Girish Badragond, a well-known rural innovator in Bijapur, Karnataka has launched a first-of-its-kind machine called ‘Blind Farming Technology.’

"I am so happy with the result that I will keep 15 acres of my farm for the dry-on-vine method!" #FarmersFirst

Satara's Popat Lokhande also collects waste from 12 companies and 27 restaurants. And the best part? He distributes the manure made from this waste to farmers for free!

The simple machine, designed by Marripelli Abhishek does the work of three labourers and can help 4000 paddy purchasing centres across Telangana!
