You are in the same mold as Robinson Crusoe and the hero in the film "Cast Away". It is a pity I am not able to make a trip to pR. Hope I do it in 2011. This is to wish you all the best in 2011 and may your family (of 40) find happiness in pR.God Bless you sarath Dear DV,

Thanks so much for sharing info with us. This is all very inspiring. While discussing your work amoung friends, one of them summerised...you will be building various banks...Water bank (beneath the earth(!)), food bank (will require it if start producing surplus and for yearly crops), seed bank (to avoid junk and BT seeds), plants blank (like you did for Pongamia), energy bank (solar, wind, pongamia oil, biogas), a bank of rich fertile soil all over the land :-) ....and a defined cycle to replenish stocks in those banks.....!! One query - Have you given any thought on installing a biogas plant? Like the one developed by ARTI, Pune which is very efficient. This site also gives D-I-Y instructions. (I should not give the site address as you have already given a very good artical about Dr. Karve's work on GoodnewsIndia!) http://www.arti-india.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=45:arti-biogas-plant-a-compact-digester-for-producing-biogas-from-food-waste&catid=15:rural-energy-technologies&Itemid=52 Best wishes for your mission and may this project become a guiding start for many to come up in future.
