Protecting Seeds, Nurturing Nature, Igniting Minds! Founder: Mahan Borah Save Indigenous Seed
29/06/2026
At Annapurna Seed Library, our seed sowing beds have little guardians — traditional scarecrows! Made from simple local materials, these scarecrows help keep birds away while protecting newly sown seeds. Beyond their practical role, they add a touch of rural wisdom and creativity to our garden, reminding us of sustainable farming practices passed down through generations.

Bihu songs are not just music — they are the living heritage of Assam, carrying the stories of our land, agriculture, traditions, emotions, and way of life. Every community has its own traditional songs that beautifully preserve the memories of seeds, farming practices, nature, and the relationship between people and soil.
Today, at the Farmers Seed Festival 2026 organised by Pabhoi Green, I had the opportunity to present a traditional Bihu song celebrating our indigenous rice varieties and their deep connection with Assamese culture.
The song beautifully reflects how our native rice seeds have been a part of our livelihoods, daily life, celebrations, emotions, and love for generations.
Through such cultural expressions, we realise that conserving indigenous seeds is not only about agriculture — it is about protecting our identity, memories, and heritage.
Let us preserve our seeds, songs, and stories for future generations.

With the first drops of monsoon, a new farming journey begins. Every seed carries a dream, every soil holds a story, and every farmer nurtures the future.
Because a good seed creates healthy soil, and healthy soil builds a sustainable future.

Annapurna Seed Library proudly celebrated the International Day for Biological Diversity 2026 in hybrid mode across two different locations.
At Assam State Biodiversity Board, Guwahati, our ISBN book “Indigenous Rice Diversity of Assam” was officially released. This publication is the result of years of hard work, field experience, and indigenous wisdom. We hope it will benefit farmers, students, and researchers in the future.
On the same day, an MoU was signed with Nakachari College, Jorhat to work together on agrobiodiversity awareness, traditional knowledge, biodiversity registers, and biodiversity education initiatives.
A truly remarkable day for Annapurna Seed Library with two important milestones celebrated together.
