Sujit Sharma
I was introduced to Abhinav Sanstha in the year 2010, Abhinav is one of the few organizations in the country that has really worked hard to take organic farming to the grassroots level. Many revolutionary works like the establishment of organic production centers, Biogas, bund farming etc. have brought a big change in thousands of farmers. Many farmers have adopted the innovative concept of own seed, own manure, own bio-pesticides, own food and own market given by abhinav. I am very much impressed with the short films developed by Abhinav on organic farming.
Avinash Karmarkar
My contact with Abhinav happened in the year 2000, at that time there was a shortage of water in our farm, with the guidance from Abhinav, I constructed a farm pond in 2 acres, Inspired by my work, about 1000 farmers nearby have constructed ponds on their lands, now there is no shortage of water in our area, many thanks to Abhinav.

My journey with Abhinav started in the year 2009, Earlier in my village farmers used to spend lakhs of rupees on chemical fertilizers and pesticides, Abhinav Sanstha came to our village and started training farmers in organic farming. Abhinav has established an organic input production center; due to which farmers have started saving lakhs of rupees.We are very much happy with their efforts.
