- With a population of around 1,000 residents, spread across 300 hectares of land, Baripada faced the same acute power shortages that plague thousands of villages across the country.“Being in the interior parts of the region, the village faced a lot of electricity supply issues for years. There is load shedding for almost 12 hours a day, making agriculture activity difficult,” said Chaitram Pawar, a social worker in the village.The 52-year-old Chaitram has been working for 30 years to bring sustainable reforms to the village, working on water conservation, afforestation and promoting sustainable agriculture practices. The social worker is associated with the Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram, an NGO also helps farmers to understand weather and provide necessary information to protect crops from harsh conditions.
- The project officer said that initially 15 per cent of the total contribution was collected from the villagers. The subsidy was passed for the remaining sum. “In 2018, 94 homes got lit with villagers contributing Rs 3.5 lakh while the department spent Rs 19.82 lakh. The next year an additional 82 homes were added, with the entire cost borne by the government – spending Rs 19.76 lakh,” he added.

- Bondri hill in the Shahpur division of the forest department is a green haven for birds, hosting plenty of biodiversities. To see the unique spot you will need to take a five-hour drive, covering a distance of 180 kilometres, south from Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh. If you had made that drive just three years ago, the picture was quite different (literally). In 2017, the hill was little more than a barren mound. But all of that has changed, thanks to the forest department’s effort to plant 54,000 saplings in a single day!
- For the uphill task, the officer had one deputy forest ranger, two forest guards and 1,000 labourers, all of whom were planting varieties of bamboo and teak.
- Gurudas Nulkar, a trustee at Ecological Society of India, Pune, however, says such ecosystems need more diverse plantations. “Planting saplings of limited species only encourages monoculture, and the insect and food diversity is lost. It is suggested to protect the area and plant diverse species of trees only in degraded areas,” he added.

- Growing up in Chilling, a small village approximately 60 km from Leh, 42-year-old Khenrab Phuntsog would regularly spot snow leopards at a distance while taking out the household goats and sheep for grazing up on mountain pastures nearby. With Chilling situated inside the famous Hemis National Park, it wasn’t hard to spot snow leopards if one climbed up to the higher ground.
- However, it was during preparations for his grandmother’s cremation, when he was aged 12, that he actually came within 100 metres of a snow leopard. It was a sight he would never forget.
- It was that magnificent sighting that inspired Khenrab to first volunteer with the Wildlife Protection Department, and eventually, join it as a wildlife guard at the age of 22 in the year 2000. Since then, he has rescued 47 snow leopards.

- Gender and identity politics is important while discussing the experiences of Dalit women in the country. Here are five women who are taking the conversations forward with their writings.
- Despite many developments and rise in the standard of living, India is not too modern to believe and practice equality for all, as enshrined in the constitution of the world's largest democracy. In many parts of India, society does not see lower castes and Dalit people as equals. They are bound by traditional roles they are supposed to play in a society, according to ancient texts. Discussions around caste-based atrocities became a pressing issue after four upper caste men were accused of raping a 19-year-old Dalit woman who succumbed to her injuries. The victim’s body was cremated by the police without her family’s consent and this created a huge furore.
- Many argue that the horror of injustice goes to show a lack of dignity and exploitation of lower caste people, especially women in India.

- इसमें तीन रूम हैं, लेकिन इस शौचालय को परंपरागत तकनीक के बजाय 7000 बेकार प्लास्टिक के बोतलों से बनाया गया है। इन बोतलों में मिट्टी भरे गए हैं, ताकि इसपर भीषण गर्मी का भी कोई असर न हो। इस शौचालय को बनाने में 1.8 लाख रुपए खर्च हुए और जब शौचालय बनकर तैयार हुआ, तो झारखंड के तत्कालीन मुख्यमंत्री रघुवर दास भी इसे देखने आए। भविष्य में मोन्द्रिता का इरादा पर्यावरण हितों को ध्यान में रखते हुए ऐसे और शौचालयों को बनाने का है।

- हरियाणा में प्लास्टिक से निपटने के लिए कुछ अनूठी पहल काम आ रही है। यहाँ प्लास्टिक की बोतलों का उपयोग दीवार के निर्माण में किया जा रहा है। जतिन ने इंटरनेट पर अलग-अलग तरीके तलाशना शुरू किया, जिससे कि वह कचरे के ढेर को इकट्ठा होने से रोक सकें। उन्हें सस्टेनेबिलिटी के तीन R का कांसेप्ट पता चला। पहला रेड्युज़, रियुज और फिर रिसायकल!
- प्लास्टिक की पुरानी-बेकार बोतलों को फेंकने की बजाय इनमें प्लास्टिक के रैपर जैसे चिप्स आदि के पैकेट्स या पॉलिथीन को भरकर इनका ढक्कन बंद कर दें। इन बोतलों का इस्तेमाल ईंटों की जगह निर्माण कार्यों के लिए किया जा सकता है और इसलिए ही इन्हें ‘इको-ब्रिक्स’ कहते हैं। क्योंकि इनसे हम पर्यावरण को बचा रहे हैं।
- स्कूल में उनकी बात को समझा गया और वहाँ उन्हें बच्चों के साथ सेमिनार करने की अनुमति मिल गयी। जतिन ने बच्चों को सिखाया कि कैसे इको-ब्रिक्स बनाया जाता है। उन्होंने बच्चों को समझाया कि अब से वह किसी भी तरह के प्लास्टिक रैपर या पॉलिथीन आदि को फेकेंगे नहीं बल्कि अपने आस -पास से पुरानी बेकार प्लास्टिक की बोतलें इकट्ठा करके उनमें भरेंगे और इको-ब्रिक्स बनाएंगे। धीरे-धीरे छात्रों को भी इस काम में मजा आने लगा और देखते ही देखते उन्हें एक स्कूल से 700 इको-ब्रिक्स मिल गयी।

- Ashok Deshmane established the NGO Snehwan to educate and provide for farmers’ children in and around the Marathwada region for free of cost. Today, he supports over 50 kids in pursuing their dreams.
- Ashok Deshmane was born in Parbhani — a quaint district located in the Marathwada region of Maharashtra. Having grown up amidst parched and unfertilised lands with hardly any rainfall, he knew the struggles of sustaining in a drought. Ashok did not have a very pleasant childhood. For his family — whose main source of livelihood was farming — obtaining three square meals a day in itself used to be a challenge. In fact, they were unable to earn enough due to severe water scarcity in the region. After doing a few odd jobs and burning the candle at both ends, Ashok managed to fund his higher education.
- As years passed by, the young man realised that things had not changed. Poverty, inaccessibility to education and healthcare, dry spells, and farmer suicides were still plaguing people. According to an RTI document, over 15,000 farmers lost their lives to suicide in Maharashtra between 2013 and 2018. Ashok was appalled when he found out about this dire situation. He wanted to improve the lives of the residents of his hometown and bring about a transformation.
