From the arid plains of Hanumangarh, Rajasthan — a man who proved that chemical-free farming isn’t just possible, it’s the future. 20+ years of dedication, 500+ farmers guided, and a mission still growing.
Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat, popularly known as Bhanwar Singh Pilibanga, has devoted his life to promoting chemical-free farming and sustainable agriculture. His mission — to help farmers grow healthy crops, reduce cultivation costs and protect the environment for future generations.
Connect With HimFrom conventional fields to natural farming — a transformation driven by curiosity, observation and a deep commitment to the land.
Like many farmers, Bhanwar Singh began his journey with conventional agriculture. Witnessing the long-term effects of excessive chemical use on soil fertility, crop quality and human health inspired him to search for better alternatives.
Today, his farms serve as living examples of sustainable agriculture, where healthy soil, natural inputs and scientific farming practices work together to produce high-quality crops without chemicals.
After years of field observations and practical experiments, Bhanwar Singh gradually shifted towards organic and natural farming. What started as a personal effort soon evolved into a larger mission of educating farmers.
He demonstrated that productive and profitable agriculture is possible without excessive dependence on chemicals — a message that resonated deeply with farming communities across Rajasthan.
Over the years, Bhanwar Singh has gained extensive experience in the cultivation of vegetables, fruits, grains and medicinal plants under the challenging climatic conditions of Rajasthan. His practical approach focuses on reducing input costs while improving crop quality and long-term soil productivity.
Reviving microbial life and organic matter in degraded farmland.
Converting farm waste into rich organic manure for crop nourishment.
Preparing natural liquid inputs that activate soil microbes.
Drip irrigation, mulching and moisture management techniques.
Crop rotation, diversification and multi-crop farming systems.
Zero-waste farming with crop residue recycling methods.
Believing that knowledge should be shared freely, Bhanwar Singh has actively worked to spread awareness about organic farming among farming communities across the state.
In 2019, he undertook a remarkable Organic Farming Awareness Journey, travelling nearly 14,000 kilometers across 22 districts of Rajasthan. Through village meetings, farmer interactions and field demonstrations, he encouraged farmers to adopt natural and sustainable agricultural practices.
Farming is a continuous learning process. Over the years, Bhanwar Singh has developed practical and affordable innovations suitable for Indian farmers.
Raised bed vegetable cultivation system for better drainage, aeration and root growth in Rajasthan's soil conditions.
Developing affordable, farm-made organic inputs including jeevamrut, panchagavya and fermented liquid fertilizers.
Practical methods to increase soil organic carbon for long-term fertility without external chemical inputs.
Low-cost composting and vermicompost models scaled for small and marginal farmers across Rajasthan.
Organic mulching techniques that reduce water evaporation, suppress weeds and improve soil temperature.
Efficient drip irrigation implementation adapted for organic vegetable farms in water-scarce regions.
Strategic crop rotation models that naturally break pest cycles and restore soil nutrient balance.
Cultivating vegetables and crops successfully in Rajasthan's extreme heat using natural farming methods.
Combining crop cultivation, composting, water management and biodiversity in one holistic farm system.
Apart from farming, Bhanwar Singh is deeply involved in farmer training and agricultural awareness programs. He regularly participates in meetings, workshops and field demonstrations to share practical knowledge with farmers, students and agriculture enthusiasts.
His objective is to make organic farming simple, practical and economically viable for farmers of all scales — from small landholders to large farm operators.
Bhanwar Singh's work in organic agriculture has been recognized by newspapers, farming magazines and media platforms across Rajasthan. He has collaborated with agricultural experts, government officials and farming communities to promote sustainable, chemical-free agriculture.
Featured in regional and state-level newspapers for pioneering organic farming methods across Rajasthan.
Articles and field reports published in agricultural magazines highlighting his natural farming innovations.
Worked alongside agricultural experts and government officials to promote environmentally responsible farming.
Guided by a clear purpose — building a healthier, more sustainable agricultural future.
To create a future where farmers can produce healthy food, protect natural resources and build sustainable livelihoods through chemical-free agriculture.
Actively working each day to transform the farming landscape through knowledge, practical demonstration and community engagement.
When soil is nourished naturally, it reflects in healthy crops, healthy food and a healthier life.
Today, Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat continues to work towards empowering farmers, promoting healthy agriculture and demonstrating that sustainable farming is not only beneficial for the environment but also economically rewarding. Through research, training and practical field experience, he remains committed to building a healthier future — one farm at a time.
