Posted on 09 Oct, 2014 09:38 PMEffects of climate change have aggravated the vulnerability of agricultural systems in all the parts of the country but people have found their own solutions and methods to deal with it. These have come from age-old knowledge practices of local farmers and communities, who depend on natural resources and who interact with the local ecosystems on a day-to-day basis.

A miracle in Mahewa
Posted on 08 Oct, 2014 09:14 PMThere is nothing special about Mahewa. It is a small ward in the town of Gorakhpur, far enough on the outskirts of the city, and it hasn't seem to have made up its mind on whether it is a city or a village. Part of it is in the form of 'bungalow colonies', part in the form of small farms. Small share-autos service the area.

He's not the only one. Thousands of villagers in Jharsuguda echo these sentiments.
