Problem Addressed 

Mr. Jorsing Syngkli’s innovation addresses the critical issue of agricultural pest management in a sustainable and cost-effective way. His organic pesticide tackles crop destruction caused by persistent pest attacks, particularly in paddy fields, which threaten farmers’ livelihoods. It reduces reliance on expensive chemical pesticides, easing the financial burden on farmers. By providing a safer alternative, it mitigates environmental and health risks associated with chemical pesticides. Moreover, the innovation fills a gap in accessible, sustainable solutions by using locally sourced ingredients to promote organic farming and environmental conservation.

Technology

Mr. Jorsing Syngkli’s organic pesticide innovation combines practical and sustainable technologies with traditional knowledge. It utilises nursery infrastructure such as bamboo structures, polyhouses, and biodegradable pots for cultivating medicinal plants essential to pesticide production. Through self-testing and validation, he ensures efficacy and safety through systematic trials on crops. His processing techniques extract and refine plant-based ingredients, maintaining quality and consistency. This innovation reflects a seamless blend of indigenous wisdom and grassroots technological applications, integrating modern tools for efficient cultivation, testing, and production.

Societal Impact

Mr. Jorsing Syngkli’s organic pesticide innovation has had a profound societal impact by enhancing agricultural productivity and improving food security through pest loss mitigation. It empowers farmers economically by providing a cost-effective alternative to chemical pesticides, reducing input costs while promoting sustainable farming practices that preserve soil health and biodiversity. His efforts to share knowledge foster community engagement, resilience, and innovation, inspiring others to adopt environmentally friendly solutions. By minimising chemical pollution, his initiative supports environmental conservation. As a role model, Mr. Syngkli exemplifies how local ingenuity can drive social change, instilling pride and self-reliance in rural communities.

Current status

Mr. Jorsing Syngkli operates a 5,000-square-foot nursery cultivating medicinal plants for his rigorously tested organic pesticide, proven effective and eco-friendly. A sales unit processes and markets the pesticide and nursery produce, providing sustainable income and supporting local farmers. He also promotes organic farming practices through community engagement and knowledge sharing.
