Ramesh the BIOFUELLED  FARMER

Rames,a farmer from Hoovinahalli in Hassan District might not have cleared SSLC , but his passion and determination made him count among the odds.This guy has  shown everyone that innovation has nothing to do with the certificates.He runs a tractor,ragi cleaning machine and irrigation pumpset on biofuel and blended it with conventional fuel.His unique idea is now been hailed by agricultural scientists not only in India but also abroad.Many scientists even visited his farm to observe his experiments. 

He has 100 honge trees on his 40 acre farm.Using the small machine developed by the University of Agricultural Science Bengaluru he produces oil and blend it with diesel in 1 :10 combination i.e. 1 litre honge oil in 10 litre diesel.It was found that the smoke emitted was reduced and the fuel was used more efficiently.This method of his saved him 25000 to 50000 bucks yearly he said.Previously other farmers used to tell  him that his oil will spoil the engine of his tractor but now seeing the success of his experiments even they started using the same method.
A SALUTE to this innovative farmer and the incredible job of UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE.
