Innovator of Bhungroo Agriculture Project | Biplab Ketan Paul | TEDxAmityUniversity

Developer of the ‘bhungroo’ process - ‘Bhungroo’ technique makes use of pipes to filter and store rain water for a period of approximately ten days in a year, but the water which is then stored in underground reservoirs can be used for as long as seven months! This project has had an enormous impact- it has transformed 40,000 acres of barren, disaster-affected or highly saline land into productive farms.

Wonderful concept and sad such a imp video gets so few hits and comments . In Kutch or in areas where there are no floods so how will it work. Once I am convinced will have more than dozen business men implement this for sure

[@zainosman]

Amazing. Deserves much higher profile! Hats off.

Great work , A great solution to fight drought

[@seedngo5687]

We learn from this thru Mr. Narasimha Rao who visited us today and it is amazing

[@umomar1000]

Really superb sir Amazing nd innovative thoughts are seen in your speech as person watching your video 1st time , I would like to do farming after my retirement , but problem is arising that lack of water in underground even at the depth of 1000fts from past 5 years , i thought this bhungroo system is very useful . My self sudhakar from Andhrapradesh , kadapa district .

Instead of loan waiver scheme Gov should implement such projects and loans repaid back.

[@bandikotireddy6527]

Not good video..no explanation on how it will work

[@santoshpes]

Exactly, need more videos on how it works exactly, how it sustains after spending 3L (in other video Biplab says it costs 3L, huge for farmers) for long time, what’s that maintenance, lot of hidden questions, who all for benefited so far, no much data on these.

Dear Anand Shah, the answer is in the approach - think OUT of the BOX. if there is water in abundance during the rainy season, that water can be "sent" to the Bhungroos, and retrieved during the dry seasons for efficient irrigation
