A very very commendable work by Utthan.They work silently to uplift the life of so many people in a sustainable way.

[@nekhamanyu8445]

That's how farming works- regeneration of nature, livelihood source, sustainable ecosystem,productive & social security.. 🙂👍👍Let UTTHAN grow.. 👍❤️

[@mini_agarwal]

It just took 9 minutes to understand the culminative efforts of so many people and partnerships that spanned over a decade, is so commendable that it makes me feel proud that someone is working for a noble cause and at the same time, ashamed that I could not contribute to it. I hope in future that I get to work for these things and do my best, but can never counter the amount of upliftment and strength you have provided to people over the years.

What kind of bamboo were planted? It had to be a running kind since it grew so fast.clumping barely spreads and does not turn into groves. If they planted running kind, how are they keeping it under control? This documentary does not cover a lot of important details unfortunately

Industrial hemp is a good choice too.

Many barren lands due to this brick business in bankura, WB. Would be happy to volunteer if I can

[@p.santos6644]

Can't find an update on those 50 million trees that were planted in INDIA

[@TheKailash89]

Sir I am a young farmer and have land which is not producing much please suggest

[@MichaelDavis-cy4ok]

If I understand correctly, peanuts fix nitrogen into the soil as well and help make it fertile. Manure and other biomass will help as well. Divide your land into seven sections. Each year, one section should be left unfarmed. Let goats and sheep graze on it; their manure will help fertilize that section. The following year, grow peanuts in that section. By rotating each section, you'll keep the soil fertile so that it can stay productive.

Great Idea! It would have been better if the docu was done in Hindi.

[@jascintarebello3234]

Better in English. Let the world know our success.

@@jascintarebello3234 It ia more important to let the Indian farmers know and then the world will automaticallty give a thumbs up! Well it is a matter of outlook!

Bamboo is great, but be careful, it will take over everything!

[@Themrine2013]

depends on the species the bamboo that they planted isnt the invasive kind that you speak of but a clumping kind that only spreads a few feet out from the original shoot

The man at the beginning with the horrible soil, and at the end with the fertile fields is the same guy. Same age. Must be some of his land is rehabilitated, and some not.
