ನಡೆದ ಆಶ್ಚರ್ಯದ ಘಟನೆ

The organic farmers meeting in Bangalore was to be held on 26-1-2009.I wrote to Kalam on 20-1-09.On 23-1-09 I had an email in my box which was from C.P.C.R.I.Vittal asking me to provide root to my plot.Next day C.P.C.R.I.Vittal director Dr.Balasinha,Dr.Ravi Bhat, Dr.Mariamma were in my plot at 12 pm. They viewed my plot,confirmed that it was affected by root grub. They were visibly a little bit angry with me,their argument was I had not consulted them before.They said that I was done nothing to eradicate rootgrub. I had not done forking the land was chief among them.Even though I had applied chemicals they cant agree with me.But they offered help to me in future. I learned the scientific name of the grub,bermistry ,in short. About three days after another scientist from Bangalore G.K.V.K. Dr.A.R.V.Kumar came to my plot. I was not impressed by Scientist from Vittal. But Kumar sir explained in detail about grub problem.He made us dig the land and search for grubs. He explained the difference between several grubs.In the afternoon he gave a talk on grubs to us using his laptop.Those who present were impressed. Most importantly his views corresponded with our view in several matters. Later he asked our full cooperation in controlling the grub problem. He asked us to conduct a seminar on grub problem in near future for that I agreed. My impression was that to conduct a seminar with a scientist attending would invite participants as well as sponsors too. But to my horror it was a different story.
