Dear Sir…
The update on the swale was refreshing. The slide show was just what we would expect a green India to be. Many thanks for your leadership in setting an example.
If our country can scale this up on its parched marginal lands, it is my humble belief that the top soil will come back strongly, making green practices sustainable and the marginal farmer can make a decent living; and the water table will come up and India will become greener.
Hats off to you and the team. Your team rocks.
Thanks
