A tribal farmer from Wayanad died this week at 74. In his old mud house, he kept more than 60 traditional rice varieties alive.
His name was Cheruvayal Raman. People called him Ramettan.
He belonged to the Kurichya tribe in Wayanad, Kerala. When he was 17, his uncle died, and the family's traditional rice seeds came to him.
Wayanad once had around 160 native rice varieties. Most of them have disappeared.
He grew each old variety in its own small plot. Every year he harvested it, dried the seeds, and stored them in his mud house for the next season.
He stopped using chemical fertiliser in 1978. He said the earthworms came back after that.
It cost him around Rs 70,000 a year. Some years, his family lived on ration rice.
When other farmers came asking, mostly tribal families, he gave them seeds without taking money.
In 2023, he got the Padma Shri. Kerala Agricultural University made him a professor of practice.
He once said, "Don't call me a hero. Make sure the seeds survive. That is enough."

Tenkasi: A mother with two young children sets them and herself on fire, and they all died. She was heartbroken because her huband came drunk to the temple festival and insulted her character in front of everyone.
During my morning walk today, I came across a woman with two children who had a similar tale of woe about her alcoholic husband.
Alcohol is the leading cause of murders, suicides and social conflict in rural areas. Alcohol is destroying young men and alcoholic men cause destruction to their families.
This is why I am strongly in favor of prohibition in Tamil Nadu. With technology, it can be made to work. We owe it to these women and their children.

Photographer Edmonds captured this boy in remote Nepal doing ‘namaste’. The photo became a huge hit. 7 years later, she found him again but now living in poverty. This inspired her to form the Namaste Children’s Fund, helping children in that area to access education. How one innocent greeting helped change so many lives. 🙏
