I am very happy that you found the blog useful. I think an economy of ours must be inclusive of the people living in villages. In fact we cannot call an economy green until it's impact isn't directly felt at the grassroot level.Stella Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01386457209877552356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35020677.post-81584502571210543612012-01-29T23:35:48.432-08:002012-01-29T23:35:48.432-08:00I grew up in Uttarakhand - a Himalayan state where...I grew up in Uttarakhand - a Himalayan state where there are many herbs. But most of it is now controlled by big companies. We run an NGO that promotes sustainable development. I am feeling inspired after reading this blog because to involve ordinary citizens is an excellent idea. It will break control of big companies over resources and help locals become entrepreneurs.Geetika Silwalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05713686632248134012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35020677.post-44020726897986932542012-01-29T11:19:48.111-08:002012-01-29T11:19:48.111-08:00@Bindu

Tripura has followed Kerala in many fields: political ideology, rubber plantation, culture, gaining high literacy rate. Now, it is also following in building a green economy. I am sure it will follow the leader (Kerala) well.

We have a mine of traditional knowledge (which, if you think logically, is a great amount of capital already) and we have a favorable climate+soil. It is therefore quite wise to capitalize on this too and generate income and employment on them.

Though Dr Khan is a hydrologist, he recently invested in a tree planting project started by a few friends. He never expected to make a profit out of it. But, to his surprise, the project was a success and beside providing a green cover to a cluster of villages, it earned good profit to the investors. I am sure, you too can script a success story. And what can be more satisfying than investing in a green economy?

We have good prospect in the field of medicinal plants and we have deep knowledge & traditional usage too.Even a village layman understands and use medicinal herbs,no matter he is educated or not. We can overcome our debts though in small amounts & long period.I am proud of Tripura state and every state should follow this.Vishakhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12723054029347441558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35020677.post-89563841265385749602012-01-29T08:19:29.970-08:002012-01-29T08:19:29.970-08:00Excellent article ! very informative.

After reading this I feel that i would like to donate/contribute money if that helps a farmer in growing herbal medicines since many a times raising funds through banks/goverrment agencies could be challenging and time consuming as well!vilashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901428676880185769noreply@blogger.com
