Smart Village Success Stories: Planting Trees as part of CSR - how it changed life of a village

An excellent success story that shows how planting trees as a revolution can change the small village into prosperous village in Madagascar. It has been a village of 40 people which has grown to a people of 450 people with more work to do because of ecological changes due to planting of millions of trees

Our state governments mission on planting trees is good, but I think we need the agriculture department do lot more.

Take areas with less green cover, do soil tests, suggest the plantations to be grown, people from the community/CSRs contribute to planting trees and also taking care of the maintenance of them.

The plantations should be profitable to take care of the maintenance on its own as well and add more revenue streams to the villages nearby
