A case study on Mr. Kailash Rana Manger: the first farmer of Sikkim & his plant variety registered under the Plant variety protection and farmers rights act 2001

Abstract Farmers play a pivotal role in preserving traditional knowledge, sustaining the Indian economy, and ensuring food security. The Plant Variety Protection and Farmers Right Act 2001 (PPVFR), is a crucial legislation aimed at safeguarding the rights of farmers, breeders, and their contribution to plant variety preservation. Despite the Act’s provision, the question remains about whether an individual farmer can avail protection at a personal capacity?
This paper explores this issue through the case study of Mr. Kailash Rana Manger, the first farmer from Sikkim to receive plant variety registration for “Kailash Rana of Rice (Oryza Sativa L.). His journey highlights the intersection of traditional knowledge, innovation, and legal protection under the PPVFR Act. Through Doctrinal research and interview-based analysis, this paper examines the legal framework of plant variety protection and provides insights into the challenges and opportunities for farmers seeking individual recognition and rights protection. The finding underscores the importance of legal literacy and institutional support in empowering farmers to benefit from such legal frameworks.
