Mumbai / Kalla, Bharuch, Gujarat – December 21, 2024: In a groundbreaking move towards revolutionizing Indian agriculture, Plasma Water Solutions Inc., a US-based Agri-Tech company, and India’s renowned Global NGO, Heartfulness Institute, have further strengthened their collaboration to combat the pressing challenges of food security and environmental sustainability. This strategic partnership, first announced a year ago, aims to introduce the next Green Revolution from India to the world, leveraging this innovative Plasma Waters technology to promote natural farming practices.
On November 6th and 7th, a pivotal conference was held at Kanha Shanti Vanam, the global headquarters of Heartfulness, where key industry leaders, Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), and scientific research institutes gathered to discuss the future of sustainable agriculture. The event highlighted Plasma Water Solutions’ cutting-edge cold-plasma technology, which offers a breakthrough approach to enhancing plant health and productivity.
Heartfulness Institute, known for its commitment to sustainable living, has long advocated for a circular economy and eco-friendly practices. At the forefront of these initiatives is Shri Kamlesh D. Patel (fondly called Daaji) – Guide of Heartfulness & President of Shri Ram Chandra Mission , who has been a vocal proponent of Plasma Waters’ technology for agricultural applications. On the occasion, Daaji inaugurated the first Plasma Waters site in Gujarat, located in Kalla village, Bharuch—an area known for heavy chemical usage in farming. During his visit, Daaji engaged with local farmers, stressing the importance of shifting to natural farming methods to safeguard human health, protect the environment, and ensure the well-being of farmers.
“This technology represents more than just an innovation; it’s a necessity in today’s world where chemical-laden food is harming our health,” said Daaji. “Natural farming practices, supported by Plasma Waters, are not just an option but an urgent need. I encourage all farmers to explore and test these solutions for the betterment of our future.”
Plasma Water Solutions has developed Plasma-ized Water™ (PW) through its proprietary cold-plasma technology, which transforms water into ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) rich Plasma-ized Water. This technology through seed treatment & foliar spray enhances crop health by improving germination rates, accelerating growth, preventing plant diseases, and boosting resilience to environmental stress. Extensive ongoing trials with leading agricultural institutions such as ICAR and ICRISAT coupled with farmers’ field demonstrations have demonstrated the effectiveness of Plasma Waters technology in real-world farming environments, showing promising results without the need for chemicals.
Pragya Kalia, Managing Director of Plasma Water Solutions (India), emphasized the potential of this technology to place India at the forefront of global agricultural innovation while simultaneously preserving water resources and protecting human health. “By reducing reliance on harmful chemicals, Plasma Waters offers a sustainable solution that benefits farmers, consumers, and the environment alike,” Kalia remarked.
