Introduction
The moral of this story is:
(a) if you want something useful done, do it yourself – don’t rely on your government. And
(b) a new and better civilisation cannot be imposed from the top down. We have to grow it ourselves from the grass roots.
Man Succeeds Where Government Fails: He Planted a Forest in the Middle of a Cold Desert
Anand Dhawaj Negi retired from his career in government work so he could pursue his passion for trying to plant trees in the mountainous northern regions of India.
There are more than 1 million acres of desert landscape that have been declared “uncultivable” by the agricultural department. Negi, on the other hand, was determined to find a way to make something grow.
Negi now cares for more than 160 acres of forest in Kinnaur and grows kidney beans, potatoes, green peas, apples, and apricots. He has shared his farming techniques with other locals so they can cultivate their own food and greenery.
According to a 2017 interview with Down to Earth, Negi said he is now working on planting coniferous trees, which he says are essential for combatting climate change in the region.
