The journey began in May 1990, when Dr. Chaitanya A. Patel, a practicing gynecologist with a deep passion for farming and nature, conceived the idea of an eco-friendly cultivator that could reduce physical and economic strain on Indian farmers.

After 15 years of trials and perseverance, the first patent was granted in 2005 for a bullock-driven Multi Drill Cultivator (I.P. No. 224088), developed despite limited technical support and funding. Also Patented in USA.

A refined version of the cultivator was patented in 2010 (I.P. No. 298143), incorporating better engineering and usability. However, with the gradual disappearance of bullocks from farms, the innovation faced an uncertain future.

During the pandemic, with clinical work halted, a new idea emerged — thanks to a suggestion from Dr. Patel’s wife, Dr. Geeta. The concept of adapting the original machine to be tractor-driven took shape.

On June 1, 2022, the tractor-driven MDCR was officially patented (I.P. No. 398374). Designed to perform cultivation and rotavation in a single pass, this breakthrough machine saves up to 66% diesel and time, while boosting productivity and reducing pollution.

Field trials across diverse soil types confirmed the MDCR’s exceptional performance. A second, improved version of the machine is currently in the patent pipeline. The innovation has already received awards and appreciation for its role in sustainable agriculture.

In 2025, Bhanujit MDCR expanded its digital presence and partnered for broader outreach. The team also began upgrading the MDCR with next-gen technology — with a new patent soon to be filed, marking the next leap in its evolution.
