Hey AgriFam!
Today, we’re in Wayanad, Kerala, celebrating a true legend of tribal agriculture—Cheruvayal K. Raman, a proud Kurichya tribal farmer and living guardian of India’s rare paddy heritage.

This extraordinary man—with no formal training in agricultural science or botany—has dedicated his life to conserving over 50 indigenous rice and millet varieties, lovingly preserved on his small farm in Kammana, Wayanad  . His efforts earned him one of India’s highest civilian honors, the Padma Shri, in January 2023  .

In this video, you’ll witness:
• A humble yet wise tribal farmer preserving over 50 rare seed varieties on just a few acres
• A journey steeped in heritage—from slash-and-burn to sustainable farming techniques
• Traditional Kurichya practices still in use: organic fertilizers, seed-saving, and millet–paddy crop cycles 
• The legacy of a tribal custodian keeping centuries-old seeds and agrarian wisdom alive
• The powerful moment when Cheruvayal K. Raman was awarded the Padma Shri for his invaluable contributions to Indian agriculture and biodiversity

Why Cheruvayal K. Raman Inspires:
• Tribal Heritage in Action – A Kurichya farmer safeguarding native agri-culture for future generations 
• Seed Advocate – More than 50 ancient, heirloom paddy varieties saved from extinction 
• Organic Traditional Farming – Uses time-honored slash-and-burn, natural composting, and careful seed selection 
• Humane and Humble – Holds workshops and shares seeds, yet lives modestly and faces hardships even after national recognition 
• National Recognition – Honored in January 2023 with the Padma Shri for his grassroots impact
