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

Water Conservation

Some of different ways of water conservation are as follows.

Conserving water and increasing the ground water levels, lead to changing the ecosystem, increasing agriculture, increasing the revenue and savings of the villagers and increasing the population around the areas where water is self-reliant and innovative means are used for water conservation
