Permaculture is designed on the relationships found in nature. In other words the development of agricultural ecosystems intended to be sustainable and self-sufficient.
Unity is strength .When it is selfless its bliss
First of all, I got the golden opportunity to visit Sathnur 80 kilometers away from Bangalore and arrange a school garden in an organic way.
True perma-culture, is not just organic farming – the ideology should in practice means harmonious integration of environment and people —
Seeds soaked for better outcomes More specifically it is the design of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have diversity and stability while considering the existing environment and natural ecosystems
providing their food, shelter, and energy in a sustainable way.
Most noteworthy Perma-culture design has
Focus on closing the nutrient and water loop by using waste, and reducing the dependence on inputs.
Creation of healthier soil and diversity of produce
Variety keeps residents engaged and excited about growing their food.
The first sign of our victory (Optimization of natural energies, e.g. wind, dust, leaves, bird droppings. )
Imitating nature by conserving the soil and water, and genetic capital. There is intensive use of space. Plants are allowed to set seed and are inter-planted for pest control.
Field prepared after multilayered mulching and nutrients black soil
You are unlikely to see food plants in rows. The permaculture site will look more like a food-forest with some open glades full of herbs.
Nutritious food and habitat for people and native animals and birds.
Our school premise and team members
Dependence on observation.Perma-culture design is a mixed technology.
Nature simply takes over. The soil will continue to heal, the forests grow and someone else can step in to rebuild our efforts
Types of cycle in Permaculture
There is a significant difference between closed and open food-production systems.
Similarly, the Ideal Perma-culture ‘Farm’ brings production of food closer to consumers and the consumer’s wastes back into the cycle.
I would like to see people more aware of where their food comes from. For instance, rainwater is harvested, the fertility of the soil is replenished by crop rotation and soil itself is the compost here. Also richer the soil, lesser the chances of it being infested so definitely no harmful pesticides in the picture.
Thus Permaculture will help in:
Soil conservation and betterment
Conserving the natural ecosystem
Providing healthy and chemical-free food
Meeting the ever-increasing food demand
In layman’s terms, it is an agricultural method that optimizes the resources available in that particular surrounding for farming. It is not only economical but also sustainable as there are ample of benefits for this style of agriculture. The whole concept is based on synergy.
Maximizing the optimization of minimum resources
Zero waste process
Preserving the biodiversity
Lessening global warming
Villages wonder boy, holding hook at his chest, look at his glorious smile (Organic Farming promotes the use of natural fertilizers, making use of the natural carbon cycle so that waste from plants becomes the food (fertilizer) of another.
A farming method that utilizes the surrounding ecology as its very foundation for cultivation is a permaculture farming method.
The whole concept is based on synergy.
Most talkative and intelligent girl
As the basis is very much in tune with nature, twinning with the existing ecosystem, there is no need for external resources as such.

As a result, Urban permaculture is today a popular permaculture principle that goes beyond space limitations.
In this style of permaculture, any landscape be it an apartment space or a rooftop or merely a balcony space is designed for growing plants.
I do share something inseparable with Gandhi, that is our birthday 2nd October however since childhood people especially my mother tell me that I share the only quality of speaking the truth which is similar to him otherwise I am opposite of Gandhi.
Somehow in childhood, I got contaminated with the ideas of hatred for Gandhi, I do remember having a heated argument in a train journey when I was in class 12 with some college graduate over Gandhi contributions to the world than one fellow traveller told me that one day you will realize the real value of Gandhi.
After that many years when I went to Delhi for further education, I met Mr Avadh Ojha where he was hardcore Gandhi sympathizers pray, preach, idealize, respect and invoke incidents from Modern Indian history to inspire us for Gandhi.
In Hindu literary fest eminent writer Ramachandra Guha express why Gandhi is still relevant to us in ten points so I would like to share them
1.Nonviolence
He gave India and world ways of resisting “unjust authority without using force”. He gave the tool of nonviolent resistance whenever there is injustice you can use nonviolence ways to overcome them. This is the moral power of nonviolence.
2.Recognize own shortcoming
loved his country and culture although he does recognize its shortcoming, he asked first to look within us in the way which we ever imperfect and find out the ways to overcome it.
3.Building bridges
Spends his life building bridges between the horizontal caste barriers and vertical religious barriers. “A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave”.
4.Religious linguistic pluralistic:
Even he was from the Business class Gujarat family but he was not a narrow-minded he loves the other languages and religion. He was a religious linguistic pluralistic who got his experience from Parsi, Tamilians, and others.
5.Not a frog in the well
Gandhi was much aware of Western ideas he learns a lot from Ram Chandra Bhai, Gokhale on the inequality of caste and gender and from Tolstoy as well. He was having no hatred for even Britishers “Hate the sin, love the sinner”.
6. Precocious environmentalist:
A precocious environmentalist who thought on brindled growth and consumerism bring a planetary disaster. “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed.”
7. Grow and Evolved:
Most important that he was having the ability to grow and evolved. As progress toward them as fact changes, he changes his attitude. Which is evident from continuously changing thoughts over race and caste.
8. Extraordinary ability:
To make leaders out of followers he gives some Colossal figure in free India like Kamla Devi, Zakir Hussain and many more
9. Seeking a middle ground:
Willingness to see the opponents point of view reach out to them and seeking a middle ground. He was capable of holding grudges. He used to says that there is no hatred only intellectual or political difference.
10. Bring transparency:
The political life of Gandhi could be anybody could reach to him talk to him.
At last his wise words “Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.”

The Kodavas were the earliest inhabitants and agriculturists in Kodagu, having lived there for centuries. Being a warrior community as well, they carried arms during times of war and had their own chieftains. The Haleri dynasty, an offshoot of the Keladi Nayakas, ruled Kodagu between 1600 and 1834. Later the British ruled Kodagu from 1834, after the Coorg War, until India’s independence in 1947.
