&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;They say if an elephant were to enter a harvest-ready kaatu yanam (180-day crop) rice field, no one would know. For the sea of paddy, which would stand at least eight-feet tall, would completely hide the pachyderm. S Ganapathi Tamizhselvan, who is a paddy farmer and researcher, talks about another variety that grows equally tall called the ottadam (200-day crop). He&amp;rsquo;s unsure of the reason behind this name but we&amp;rsquo;re picturing a lengthy duster that people use to clean ceilings. There&amp;rsquo;s the iluppai poo samba (135-day crop), a fragrant white rice which is harvested from black coloured paddy. The kala namak, with an inherent salty taste, is a variety that&amp;rsquo;s mostly preferred as an offering to the Buddha. When the field is filled with purple coloured paddy, then it&amp;#39;s definitely the chinnar variety, where the grains are long like the basmati. These are some of Tamil Nadu&amp;#39;s native rice varieties that are being conserved by Ganapathi who is part of the Thondaimandalam Foundation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Founded by Ananthan Krishnan, Himakiran and Parthasarathy VM, all of them organic farmers, the main aim of the Foundation is to focus on sustainable rural livelihoods. In addition to native species paddy conservation, they are also involved in the conservation of water bodies and tree-planting drives.The native paddy conservation programme began in August 2019 and the team has been able to successfully conserve 156 varieties of paddy, presently being grown in three of their farms.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Rathnavel Pandian, a coordinator of the team&amp;rsquo;s Capacity Building and Research, shares, &amp;ldquo;We&amp;rsquo;ve got in-situ conservation ongoing in three different areas, one in Thiruppukuzhi in Kancheepuram district, another in Komakkambedu in Tiruvallur district and another at Chinnababu Samuthiram in Villupuram.

For the sea of paddy, which would stand at least eight-feet tall, would completely hide the pachyderm. S Ganapathi Tamizhselvan, who is a paddy farmer and researcher, talks about another variety that grows equally tall called the ottadam (200-day crop). He&amp;rsquo;s unsure of the reason behind this name but we&amp;rsquo;re picturing a lengthy duster that people use to clean ceilings. There&amp;rsquo;s the iluppai poo samba (135-day crop), a fragrant white rice which is harvested from black coloured paddy. The kala namak, with an inherent salty taste, is a variety that&amp;rsquo;s mostly preferred as an offering to the Buddha. When the field is filled with purple coloured paddy, then it&amp;#39;s definitely the chinnar variety, where the grains are long like the basmati.
