Bamanwas Kankar panchayat in Rajasthan is now the first village body in the state certified as fully organic. It includes seven hamlets in Kotputli-Behror district. The village stopped using chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. Farming and animal care now follow eco-friendly standards. "This integrated approach has ensured that agriculture, livestock management, and environmental protection will move forward together," said sarpanch Ganesh Jat. Villagers noticed soil degradation, falling groundwater, and health problems from chemicals. They shifted from short-term yields to long-term sustainability through organic farming. Methods like crop rotation, mulching, vermicompost, and pest traps are used. COFED, a group supporting natural resource conservation and women’s empowerment, helped farmers with training and certification. Organic farming improves soil health, moisture, and protects water from pollution. Farmers see more beneficial insects and better soil. Certification opens doors to premium markets and lowers costs linked to chemicals. Livestock raised organically show better health and safer dairy products. Mukesh Gujjar from Nangalhedi said, "Chemical-free farming has given villagers safe food and a healthier lifestyle." Mahaveer Bokan from Bhadana Ki Bhaal added, "Organic farming is the foundation for a healthy future." On January 2, a ceremony hosted farmers, cattle owners, leaders, and COFED reps to pledge against chemical farming and promote organic cattle rearing. COFED founder Jeetendra Sevawat said this success is a community effort, not just bureaucracy. He aims to convert 300 panchayats across four districts to fully organic by year-end. The seven hamlets are Bamanwas, Nangalhedi, Rah Ka Mala, Bhadana Ki Bhaal, Tolawas, Khariya Ki Dhani, and Bairawas. COFED is processing certification for farms and livestock for the first cycle. Bamanwas Kankar offers a model of community-driven, eco-conscious farming, proving real change starts at the grassroots level.
