Meet Vijay Ram who is known as “Paryavarana Premikudu”. He is one of the few people who actually cares about the environment we live in and strives to do something to protect it. Rather than just giving speeches on global warming, he’s fighting against all odds and doing his bit to stop it. Vijay Ram is not only creating awareness among people but is also showing the means to curb this menace. Apart from these things he is also an avid follower of Subash Palekar.
ZBNF:
“Zero Budget Natural Farming” is the process where cultivation involves totally natural methods and no kind of pesticides or chemicals are ever used in any of the steps involved in the making.
With such a unique and farmer friendly concept, Padma Shri Subash Palekar has raised many eyebrows and is creating a vibe of his own among most of the southern and middle states in India. Vijay Ram was greatly impressed with this concept and started promoting the same in both the Telugu speaking states. He is conducting regular workshops, providing seminars and teaching the farmers on how beneficial this process is to them. He also distributes seeds to farmers every year free of cost including rice and vegetable seeds.
