Athachi team discusses Palakkad Gap Research Report findings with Dr. Prof. Sabu A, Member Secretary, KSCSTE

In a collaborative effort to promote environmental sustainability and progress of the Palakkad Gap region, Dr. Vishwanath N Subramanian, Managing Director of Athachi Group, presented the findings of the Palakkad Gap Research report to Dr. Prof. Sabu A, Member Secretary, Kerala State Council for Science, Technology & Environment.

Dr. Vishwanath presented the comprehensive research report meticulously put together over the last 24 months by a team of researchers from Kerala & Tamil Nadu. Dr. Prof. Sabu showed keen interest in the explorative study on geological, geomorphological & biodiverse characteristics of this low mountain pass in the entire Western Ghats range. Initiated and fully funded by Athachi Group, the research findings have significant implications on the ecological and economic growth potential of both States.

The meeting also served as a platform to present the Athachi Trust Nature® initiative, a long-term vision rooted in ancient Indian wisdom and modern eco-friendly technologies, aimed at restoring nature’s regenerative power and addressing the pressing challenges of climate change.

Dr. Vishwanath said, “Having successfully transformed a 20-acre arid land in Palakkad into a thriving biodiverse agroforest farm by combining ancient Indian wisdom and modern eco-friendly technologies, we evolved the Trust Nature® initiative. This not only restores Mother Nature’s regenerative power but also preserves and nurtures the biodiverse ecosystem, fosters a harmonious coexistence, helps achieve sustainable farming, and addresses global challenges such as Climate Change.”

Based in Palakkad with business activities spanning India and the Middle-East, Athachi Group passionately combines traditional Indian wisdom and modern technological breakthroughs to create sustainable farming solutions, wellness offerings, farm produce, skincare, and personal care formulations. The group has now launched a Fellowship Program, which will inspire, guide and train university students to take up sustainable farming as a start-up idea, and create a new wave of entrepreneurship.
