![]() ![]() Meeting agriculture scientist Nammalvar was a turning point in Thilak’s life,” said Maneka.Īfter meeting the scientist Nammalvar, Thilak got into the science of rice cultivation. He travelled, met farmers, convinced them to cultivate other varieties of rice. Slowly, things went uphill and they set up their store cum organisation Mannvasanai that helps farmers revive the traditional cultivation of rice and provides over 25 varieties of rice. Maneka told The Better India, “Did you know that in India, traditionally, we cultivated more than one lakh varieties of rice? Today, unfortunately, we do not even cultivate 30 varieties. ![]() So much so that we import rice from other countries.” She added, “In our shop, we source 25 varieties of rice. While I have customers who keep coming back for the same rice, some of them do not come back for more after trying it once and so cultivating that variety leads to a loss for the farmer.” The problem arises because of lack of consistency. We at Rangamalai Organic Farms sell all our farm produce directly to consumers through our brand name Manvasanai. Things changed after Thilak Raj’s untimely death last year after he met with the accident. It wasn’t only a big loss for the family but also for the farmers’ community. Maneka did not let Thilak’s dream shatter and continued to take the idea of organic rice farming ahead. Last year she participated in the Assist World Records. With the help of 100 other participants, she cooked 100 varieties of traditional rice in a record time of 1 hour and 47 minutes. About 60 women, 15 transgenders and 25 men came together to cook the 100 varieties of rice, which were collected by Thilak.Organic Green Store offers organically grown food products that include groceries, fruits and vegetables.You are what you eat goes the saying – We sell pure organically grown vegetables and fruits that are free from any chemicals, pesticides and fertilizers giving you the best way to stay healthy.We are dedicated to customers who are our real wealth and we strive in providing them with the best service.
