Transforming marginalized farmers into independent entities through zero-budget ecological food forests, compassionate natural farming, and a vanguard of youth agripreneurs.
To envision a world where natural farming and sustainable agriculture practices are the fundamental aspiration and societal norm. We strive to create a strong, interconnected web where humanity lives in harmony with all fellow creatures, soil microbiomes, and the broader natural environment as one universal family.
A steady transformation of agricultural practices from chemocentric to natural farming. We focus on building the competitiveness of farmers as Green Commandos, facilitating natural resource efficiency, and strengthening the farm-to-fork value chain through grassroots innovations and concept-based training for the youth.
Like bees, we work in absolute synchrony to cross-pollinate ideas, sustain local ecosystems, and generate rewards for the collective whole.
SPREAD NE operates on the scientific conviction that true ecological sustainability requires a localized approach. We integrate the "biophilia connection"—an innate human affinity toward the natural world—into our core training.
To reverse climate change, the younger generation must think as "extended ecological selves." We are bridging the urban-rural divide by orchestrating a paradigm shift from resource-depleting chemical farming to zero-budget ecological food forests.
Preserving native seeds as acts of supreme ecological freedom.
Eliminating exploitative intermediary supply chains historically impoverishing cultivators.
A meticulously structured, highly disciplined green army comprised of millennial farmers, youth advocates, and social agripreneurs, redefining agriculture as an aspirational endeavor.
Introductory 3-day immersive camps at farm sites. Trainees experience healthy food production cycles while living directly inside an edible food forest.
An advanced, rigorous five-day training program that builds deep agronomic expertise and biological knowledge for practical implementation.
Deployment into communities to create year-long live models, empowering advanced regional leadership to govern specific districts autonomously.
When Green Commandos facilitate market linkages for premium natural produce, the vast majority of revenue goes directly to the farmer. The Commando retains a nominal 5% for operations, and only 5-10% returns to SPREAD NE. Maximum profitability for the farmer, sustainable career for the youth.
Rejecting synthetic chemicals and high-capital mechanized farming, tailored specifically for the unique topography of Northeast India.
Utilizing a "Double-Pit Method" for low-oxygen pyrolysis, achieving 62% natural carbon content to inoculate depleted soil with Mycorrhizal fungi.
Bio-intensive raised beds layering forest topsoil, termite hill soil, and dry leaf mould to combat erosion and protect subterranean microbiomes.
Replacing chemicals with potent brews like Jeevamrut, Vermiwash, and custom fermentations using rice gruel to cultivate aerobic bacteria.
Integrating shade-tolerant crops under dense bamboo canopies, harvesting premium yields vertically without clearing forested land.
Targeted interventions maximizing systemic impact across demographic spectrums.
"Our homestead gardens are our identity." Ensuring absolute, decentralized food security at the granular household level. Marginal farmers are trained in zero-budget ecological practices, shielding vulnerable families from macroeconomic inflation.
Integrated interactive Nutrition Gardens into 150+ government schools in Assam. These "living labs" seamlessly integrate hands-on natural farming with entrepreneurial education, reshaping youth perception of farming.
Youth Attraction to Rural Agriculture. Operating across 10+ locations like Majuli Island, Green Commandos act as guides, giving urban visitors immersive farm stays and generating lucrative supplementary income for host farmers.
Operating across Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, and Tripura, driving profound agro-economic transformation.
Instead of selling raw Roselle at ₹10/kg, farmers are trained to process and dehydrate it into premium Rosella Herbal Tea, commanding ₹400/kg. This results in a staggering 30% average annual increase in overall net earnings, establishing an independent agrarian baseline income of ₹15,000 monthly.
A testament to our ongoing commitment to biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, and community-based rural empowerment.
Registered in 2005, the operational genesis of SPREAD NE began with a modest one-room plant health clinic in Jorhat. Abandoning a lucrative corporate trajectory in 2010, Samir Bordoloi sought to address the agrarian crisis at its absolute grassroots. Beginning with a backpack filled with natural inputs, traversing Upper Assam via bicycle, he laid the foundation for a regional socio-agricultural movement.
Recognizing the volatile ethno-political history of the region, he utilized military-style nomenclature and discipline to channel restless youth energy into a positive force for ecological conservation—giving birth to the Green Commandos.
Serving as the President of SPREAD NE, Dr. Kamal Malla Bujarbaruah brings decades of unparalleled academic and administrative expertise. As the former Vice Chancellor of the Assam Agricultural University (AAU), his leadership bridges the critical gap between grassroots ecological movements and rigorous institutional agricultural science.
His visionary guidance ensures that the zero-budget ecological methodologies propagated by the Green Commandos are structurally sound, scientifically validated, and fundamentally aligned with the broader strategic objectives of agricultural development across the North Eastern Region.
Serving as the Treasurer of SPREAD NE, Mofidur Rahman oversees the financial integrity and resource allocation of the organization. His expertise in financial planning and governance ensures that all funding, grants, and grassroots resources are efficiently managed.

As an Executive Member of SPREAD NE, Brajen Deka plays a crucial role in steering the organization's grassroots initiatives and community outreach programs. His dedication to sustainable rural development helps bridge the gap between strategic planning and on-the-ground execution.
By actively supporting the deployment of Green Commandos and the establishment of ecological food forests, he ensures that the core philosophy of indigenous economy and biosphere consciousness reaches the most vulnerable farming communities across the region.
Serving the organization from its founding days, Alakesh Das brings deep institutional knowledge and unwavering dedication to SPREAD NE as an Executive Member. His long-standing commitment has been instrumental in shaping the organization's trajectory from a modest plant health clinic to a regional socio-agricultural movement.
His continuous support and extensive grassroots engagement ensure that the core values of indigenous agricultural empowerment, ecological preservation, and rural economic development remain deeply rooted in every initiative SPREAD NE undertakes.
Joining the forum in 2020, Droopad Bujarbaruah has brought fresh perspectives and strategic momentum to SPREAD NE as an Executive Member. His involvement has been vital in expanding the organization's reach across the region.
Dedicated to the intersection of youth empowerment and ecological agriculture, he actively contributes to scaling up sustainable food forests and ensuring that indigenous farming communities receive the necessary support to thrive in a climate-resilient economy.
