Veernya Gowdapatil, Voice of All-India Radio, Dharwad, on organic farming In 2011, Gowdapatil received the Purushottam Rao Krishi Award for inspiring small farmers in Harogeri village in Dharwad district to take up organic farming. After a division in the family, Gowdapatil was left with two hectares and eight cattle. He replaced chemical fertilisers with organic compost to reduce his input cost in farming and increased his income by selling organic crops.
