A Campaign to Protect the Soil

In Arani, Bagha, Rajshahi, educated youth Kamrul Hasan Ripon and his friends are encouraging farmers to test their soil and use eco-friendly fuel.

The poet Kazi Nazrul Islam wrote that the soil of our country is purer than pure gold. Truly, Bangladesh's soil is purer than gold, and its fertility was once a wonder of the world.

Soil testing for farmers


This is the story of one initiative. The entrepreneur is Kamrul Hasan Ripon, an educated young man from Arani village in Bagha upazila, Rajshahi, who has taken an unusual step. With a group of friends, he is making farmers aware of testing their soil before cultivation.

From group to organisation


At the same time, he has supported the use of environmentally friendly fuel and built a different kind of organisation, which is gradually becoming an institution.
