Ma'am hats off to you for the remarkable changes you brought to the farmers. The bureaucrats, local panchayat, agri institutions and NGO need to learn from you and cultivate the same for other states too. This will be benchmark in agriculture development in INDIA.

Amla Ruia's Message for

WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY

Our environment is in shreds. The sky in India is no more blue. The Water is muddy or black in the water bodies, rivers and oceans. The air pollution is much above permissible levels. We must ask ourselves which way are we heading. Countries like Norway and Sweden have a ratio of 28 trees to one man but in India it is less than four trees to one man. The soil has lost its biomass and hence its nutritional qualities. Thus, the next generation will be much poorer physically as well as mentally. It is high time we wake up and do out maximum to clean and conserve water and create forest-cover by planting more and more trees. A good idea is to make it imperative to plant and nurture 10 trees in order to get the graduation degree.

To be able to be effective we only need to do away with one little thought ... "WHAT ABOUT ME". whatever we do, if it can be done in a selfless spirit it will surely benefit Mother Earth and together we will be able to pull it out of the mire in which we have allowed it to languish.

I had started in a small way from one to two check dams in 2006 and by 2019 we have completed 351 check dams. The outcome is quite outstanding -- Direct benefit that means greatly enhanced life, well above poverty line to 2,10,114 people in 202 villages. Indirect benefit to 3,21,660 people in 242 villages. Total number of villages 444 and total number of people 5,31,774.

A total of 12.5 crores of sponsors money and 5.2 crores of villager's contribution has been spent on this project up to now. Now that the project is matured, the villagers are earning a net income of Rs. 500 crores year after year . This will continue for generations to come with a little bit of up keep by the villagers themselves.
