The Birth of 'Sanin' – A New Hybrid Hibiscus Variety

 The Birth of 'Sanin' – A New Hybrid Hibiscus Variety

Flowers have always been a source of joy, inspiration, and scientific curiosity. Among them, the hibiscus (Jaba) flower stands out due to its vibrant colors and varied species. Today, I am thrilled to share the story of a groundbreaking new hybrid variety, Sanin, a result of dedicated research and experimentation.

Genesis of Sanin

The journey of Sanin began with the fusion of two distinct hibiscus varieties—Puna Variety and Thai Variety. Through a carefully controlled process of pollination (পরাগ সংযোগ), viable seeds were produced. These seeds were then subjected to a specialized germination (অঙ্কুরোদগম) process, ensuring the birth of a unique plant with new genetic traits.

Over the course of 8 to 10 months, this plant progressed through various growth stages, showcasing promising characteristics. Finally, on October 22, 2024, the first bloom of Sanin graced us with its mesmerizing beauty, marking a significant milestone in horticultural innovation.

The Minds Behind Sanin

This remarkable achievement would not have been possible without the guidance and support of my respected mentor, Pranab Kumar Sur. He is a distinguished researcher in the field of floriculture, organic farming, and plant propagation. My association with him began during my agriculture studies at Belur Ramakrishna Mission, where I had the privilege to learn under his tutelage.

During my academic journey, I developed a profound interest in Plant Propagation, a subject my mentor specializes in. Encouraged by his appreciation and guidance, I actively participated in research activities, experimenting with different propagation techniques. My hands-on learning experience and passion for innovation led to the successful creation of Sanin, a flower that embodies the harmony of science and nature.

Unique Characteristics of Sanin

The Sanin hibiscus stands out due to its:

  • Striking Bloom – A fusion of traits from both the Puna and Thai varieties, resulting in a unique color and petal texture.

  • Resilience – Improved adaptability and growth patterns compared to its parent varieties.

  • Aesthetic Appeal – A visually captivating flower that enhances any landscape.

The Road to Patenting

Given its distinct genetic makeup and novel traits, efforts are underway to secure a patent for Sanin. This will not only recognize our research but also protect its uniqueness in the world of floriculture.

Future Prospects

The introduction of Sanin opens doors for further hybrid experiments, commercial cultivation, and ornamental gardening. We envision expanding research into:

  • Enhancing flower longevity

  • Color modifications through genetic studies

  • Developing disease-resistant varieties

Final Thoughts

Sanin is not just a flower; it is a symbol of dedication, scientific curiosity, and perseverance. This journey reaffirms my belief that passion and hard work can lead to extraordinary discoveries. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Pranab Kumar Sur Sir for his unwavering support and guidance.

Stay tuned for more updates on our research and innovations in floriculture. Let’s continue to explore the endless possibilities that nature has to offer!

TRADITION IN TRANSITION: The Birhor Cultural Landscape

  TRADITION IN TRANSITION: The Birhor Cultural Landscape                                                         Abstract   This paper presents findings from a two-day ethnographic field visit (May 16–17, 2025) to the Birhor settlements in Kalapatthar and Budhuchak villages, near Giridih district, Jharkhand. The Birhor, a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG), are undergoing rapid cultural and socioeconomic transitions. Our direct observations, interviews, and informal surveys reveal a community struggling between preserving traditional knowledge—like rope-making and forest-based subsistence—and navigating state-led welfare programs. While some government interventions (housing, LPG distribution, health camps) have reached the ar...

Pulses and Cotton Production Programs: Transforming Indian Agriculture

  Pulses and Cotton Production Programs: Transforming Indian Agriculture Introduction India, one of the largest producers and consumers of pulses and cotton, has recently launched long-term production programs to boost domestic output. These initiatives aim to enhance self-sufficiency, reduce import dependence, and strengthen the agricultural economy. In this article, we explore the objectives, strategies, and expected impact of these ambitious programs. Government’s Focus on Pulses Production Pulses are a crucial component of India's agricultural sector and a staple protein source for millions. However, the country has been relying heavily on imports to meet the growing demand. In response, the Indian government has introduced a six-year pulses production program to: Enhance Yield : Implement modern farming techniques, high-yield seed varieties, and better irrigation systems. Reduce Import Dependence : Minimize reliance on imports from Canada, Myanmar, and Russia. Improve ...
