This 16-Year-Old Bengaluru Boy Grows His Own Veggies & Teaches Organic Farming on YouTube!

in #nature7 years ago

Arya Pudota, who is going to turn 17 in July, started his journey six years ago when he was just 10 and saw his mother farming on a plot of land next to their house. Arya started with little things like watering the plants or cleaning the weeds and slowly grew interested in full-fledged farming.

Within a few years, Arya took up the lead role to look after the farm and became an expert in farming.

He started a YouTube channel called ‘My Organic Farm’ and posted step-by-step videos on organic farming and waste management for beginners.

Along with the YouTube channel, he also blogs about all the activities involved in organic farming on his website.

To go further and encourage people to grow their own veggies, Arya distributed 1,000 organically grown hybrid Arka Rakshak tomato plants free of cost to morning walkers in Cubbon Park on June 6, 2015, on the occasion of World Environment Day.

In 2016, Arya held three events. The first was in KBR Park in Hyderabad, where he gave away close to 700 tree saplings of different varieties to visitors.

Keeping all these factors in mind, he decided to create an organic farming kit and called it GrowBasic.

He has launched it on the occasion of World Environment Day this year. According to Arya, GrowBasic is a one-stop solution that contains all the necessary raw material required to start a basic organic farm at home. It’s easy to use, and can be used by children as young as four, he says. The kit consists of a grow bag, a coco peat block, neem fertilizer and some vegetable seeds. The procedure to be followed for using the product has been detailed on a YouTube video uploaded on his channel.

Arya says that GrowBasic aims to provide a basic introduction to the world of organic farming and he wants people to graduate to larger patches for their organic farming after some practice with this kit.

Arya is also an avid reader and loves playing video games and taking part in debates. A trained yoga instructor, he also takes out time to teach yoga to special needs children. His day starts at 5:30 am and he chalks out a time table for each day to keep balance between his studies and other activities. But he makes sure to spend at least an hour and a half in his farm everyday.
