Meet Dr. Atul Gupta – India’s Organic Warrior Exporting Cow Science to the World

In the world of sustainable agriculture, few names shine as brightly as Dr. Atul Gupta — a visionary leader who has bridged ancient Indian traditions with modern organic innovations. Hailing from a farmer family in Rajasthan, Dr. Gupta has become the flagbearer of India’s organic farming revolution, redefining the value of the Indian cow, cow dung, composting, and medicinal plants on a global scale.

The Organic Journey: From Village Roots to International Impact

While the world raced toward urbanization, Dr. Atul Gupta returned to his rural roots. Embracing cows and compost, he revived age-old Indian farming practices — giving them a global platform. His approach focuses on organic sustainability, Panchgavya science, and rural empowerment. For Dr. Gupta, the cow is not just a sacred symbol, but a scientific solution to today’s environmental and agricultural challenges.

15 Million Medicinal Plants – A Healing Forest for India

Under his leadership, India has witnessed the plantation of over 15 million medicinal plants between 2010 and 2025. Plants such as Tulsi, Amla, Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Giloy have been grown to regenerate soil health and offer farmers alternate income through medicinal herb cultivation.

These plantations, hosted at Sunrise Organic Herbal Park and Shri Pinjrapole Gaushala in Jaipur, are now iconic centers for organic and herbal agriculture in India.

400,000+ Farmers Trained: Building India’s Organic Army

Through the International Institute of Advanced Agriculture Skill Development (IIAASD), Dr. Gupta has trained over 4 lakh farmers in organic farming, cow-based startups, medicinal plant cultivation, and sustainable agro-enterprises. This grassroots revolution is empowering farmers to become self-reliant entrepreneurs and protect India’s agricultural biodiversity.

Global Milestone: First Certified Exporter of Cow Dung

One of Dr. Gupta’s most remarkable achievements is becoming the world’s first certified cow dung exporter, converting rural waste into a global organic input. Today, cow dung from Indian farms is exported to countries including Germany, Dubai, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, and Thailand, supporting global sustainable agriculture.
