Pradeep Kumar Mohanty’s inspiring journey from a dedicated botanist at the Central Rice Research Institute to becoming a celebrated coffee planter in Koraput is a testament to the power of passion and purpose. In the early 1980s, driven by a deep fascination with coffee cultivation and a desire to uplift rural communities, he made the courageous decision to leave his stable government job and embark on an uncharted path.
With a bold vision to transform the rugged terrains of Koraput into fertile coffee estates, Mohanty faced immense challenges—ranging from harsh landscapes to lack of infrastructure. Yet, his unwavering spirit, deep connection with nature, and commitment to sustainable agriculture laid the foundation for a coffee revolution in Odisha. Revered today as the “Coffee Buddha of Odisha,” his spiritual and passionate approach to farming has not only nurtured rich Arabica plantations but also inspired a generation of growers and thinkers across the state.
