About Us

Touching the lives of thousands of people in more than 30 districts across Karnataka since 2018.

Microbi Foundation was founded on 21st Feb 2022 as a Public Charitable Trust. But its remarkable works started in 2018.

  • Impacting lives and improving their econimic condition
  • Trained & Guided thousands of farmers on Organic Farming
  • Bringing back natural fertility and sustainability to farms
  • Providing special care on integrated, sustainable agriculture

Born out of the idea of creating a non-profit service oriented organisation to manage the interests and welfare of the farmers, Microbi Foundation is the brain-child of "Organic Guru" of Karnataka, Dr. K R Hullunache Gowda, with other eminent service leaders as trustees.

We have a well documented proven track record of developing "Kadabageri" village in Harappanahalli Taluk under Vijayanagara District in the state of Karnataka. Our ideology revolves around building and developing villages through Government schemes, NGO's, partners from the private sector and village communities.

Activities

  • Fruits were distributed to thousands of poor people in Bagalur and Vidyaranyapuram, Bangalore.
  • Food kits were distributed to all the villagers of Madderi village in Kolar district.
  • Kuppahalli of Srinivasapur taluk of Kolar district is our foundation Chairman Dr. Hullunachegowda Ji’s Hometown. Food kits were distributed to all the people of the village during Covid. As drinking water is also unavailable in summer, the work of supplying drinking water in water tankers to every house is going on continuously

In 2018 as per Dr. K. R. Hullunachegowda Ji's wish, we decided to transform the village Kadabageri in Vijayanagara district to an organic village. The area was completely barren then. The farmers there were really in trouble. Under the leadership of our Microbi Foundation, meetings were held with the farmers of Kadabageri village in the divine presence of Dr. Panditaradhya Shivacharya Swamiji, Sanehalli Math and with the cooperation of local MLA Shri Rabindranath. We surveyed the entire village. Officials from Agriculture Department, Horticulture Department, Forest Department, Animal Husbandry Department etc. joined hands with us. Departmental grants flowed to the village. About 50 thousand saplings were planted in that village.


Agricultural bunds were constructed. Fruits saplings, agroforestry crops were planted on the barren land. Thousands of cashew plants were supplied with the help of Dharmasthala Sri Virendra Heggade Ji. On the whole, the district level officials and taluk level officials continued to cooperate with the farmers. As a result, today the village is glorious with greenery. Farmers' plantations are now groves of fruits, coconut, areca nut, forest crops like sandalwood, red sandalwood, teak etc. worth crores of rupees. Even farmers with very little land are earning millions of Rupees. Today the farmers of Kadabageri are producing abundantly and they are prosperous. The entire village has achieved success in organic farming.

Microbi Foundation organized programs for all-round development of farmers at every district, taluk and gram panchayat level of the State through the campaign "Let the Soil Live".

From May 2022, a 9-month campaign called "Let the Soil Live" was conducted across 200 gram panchayats in Karnataka. The campaign focused on soil sustainability, organic certification, and direct sale of produce through the “Dhatu App”.


Practical trainings for farmers in 9 months: -

  • 1. Soil sustainability.
  • 2. Adoption of integrated farming system.
  • 3. Making organic certification for farmers.
  • 4. Training on value addition of farmers' produces.
  • 5. Direct sale of farmers produce through “Dhatu App”.
  • 6. Training on importance of allied sectors.
  • Agriculture Department, Horticulture Department, Animal Husbandry Department, Forest Department, Silk Department, Fisheries Department, Skill India and Krishi Vijnana Kendras (KVK) are requested to support and help for this great movement.

    In the month of April 2022, large scale programs were organized in Bagalkote, Koppal, Hassan, Chitradurga, Davangere and Mandya district centers involving about 20 districts to unite the farmers. Around 200 successful organic farmers in all the above districts were felicitated with " Savayava Krishi Ratna (Organic Agriculture Gems)" awards.

    Officials, political leaders of the respective parts and the prestigious Pontiffs of different Mutts were actively participated in the programs. The programs were a huge and unprecedented success. Sanehalli Guru Dr. Panditaradhya Shivacharya Swamiji has done lokarpan a mobile app called "Dhatu App" in Davanagere, which provides direct marketing platform for farmer's products and produces.

    Over the past twelve years continuously we have organized thousands of 'Thotadalli Krishi patha (skill development training)' in farmers' orchards/fields through our organization, teaching farmers about practical techniques of soil fertility, ill effects of soil pollution and solutions.

    We have detoxified thousands of hectares in every taluk across the state. Dr. K. R. Hullunachegowda ji, who is the founder president of the organization and is a famous "Organic Guru" of the State have traveled 6 lakh kilometers across the state to improve the lives of farmers and popularize the importance of organic farming. Millions of farmers voluntarily participate in his programs, acquire and implement organic knowledge.

    State level Krishimela was held on 3rd Feb 2023 to 5th Feb 2023. The then Agriculture Minister of Karnataka Sri B C Patil along with department officers were participated in the event. Dr. Hullunachegowda Ji, Chairman of Microbi Foundation and other office bearers were present and organized the entire event. Useful information related to agriculture under one roof and hundreds of stalls of agricultural machinery were the special attractions of the fair. Thousands of farmers from across the state were participated in the threeday program.

    The unique concept called “Kshetrotva” was organised in Davanagere district on Jan 2024 for the welfare of farmers. Microbi Foundation in association with Microbi Agrotech arranged the program. Hundreds of farmers assembled and actively participated in the program. Model plots on Integrated Farming System (IFS) have developed for the demonstration.

    The Microbi Foundation has organized Entrepreneurship training program for youths. It was a 3day program, about 60 young and energetic businessmen were participated in the program. It was very useful and meaningful. The topics like Soil preparation, Soil health, pre-harvest and post-harvest technologies, mobile app-based activities, marketing strategies, QR based quality assured sales and others were covered, taught and practically demonstrated in the fields. Microbi Foundation aims to create 2000 agripreneurs in a year.

    • What is a “trust”?

      Under general law, a ‘trust’ is defined as an obligation attached to the ownership of property, and arising out of the confidence reposed by the author of the trust in the trustees. In the I-T Act, however, the word has been used in a wider sense to include any other legal obligation, even where the legal requirements for creation of a trust are not strictly met.

    • Donors who contribute to a trust can also claim tax deduction to the extent of a specified proportion of their contribution (50% in most cases)

    • Under section 80 G of the I- T Act, donors to such organization are eligible for deduction as a percentage of the amount donated by them. In most cases the rate of exemption applicable is 50 percent of amount donated. For a donor to claim such exemption, the trust to which the donation has been made must be the one which has been approved by the Income Tax Department for this purpose.
