Pumpkins that usually weigh 5-10 kg have surprised our farmers at @BangaloreAshram by reaching a weight of nearly 26 kg, defying the common misconception that chemical fertilizers are essential for higher yields!
Our books ‘Health per Acre’ & ‘Wealth per Acre’n show that farmers can increase their incomes while Regenerating the Earth through biodiversity intensification & growing real healthy food for all . #FoodSoveregnty is a right

A few years ago, during the pandemic, a Zoho customer and fan, Mr Abdul Gafoor, who owns Mr Light Global, a major own-brand distributor of electrical and electronics products in the Middle East (and now in India), came to see me in Tenkasi with a box full of hand held tools from his company. He told me he wanted Zoho to make these products and he would love to distribute them. I said we know nothing about it. He said this could create rural jobs. That is how he hooked me!
Being crazy, we took up the challenge and set up a small engineering team. That was almost 2 years ago. A lot of designs and redesigns later, we have a suite of tools ready to start commercial production. The brand name is Karuvi (கருவி) the Tamil word for instrument or tool.
We are trying some innovative ideas in the factory being built in Tenkasi. A new adventure begins!
Thank you Mr Gafoor for pushing me on this! Thank you Cibi Anand for suggesting the name 🙏

A conscious effort to choose a bike rental or an e-vehicle for your travel, can really contribute to your responsibility towards a green planet. Infact we can think of setting a personal #CarbonCredit on our yearly travel. This way we can be conscious abt choices #CarbonFootprint
We all agree on this at multiple levels. Next thing is action. Share your experiences in reducing inidividual GHG emissions while travelling 🌿@crownvin @anubhavary @andoos23 @arjitsoni12 @fietsprofessor@pedalandtring@sselvan

The Art of Living has set a record for the maximum number of people participating in a mass meditation event! “Keralam Meditates” saw participation of thousands of people from EVERY PIN CODE of Kerala and found a place in the Asia Book of Records and India Book of Records.
Group meditation elevates the collective consciousness and uplifts the human spirit to be more creative and productive.
A sea of people gathered to collectively meditate and celebrate life in Kochi.
Opinions may not make a difference, but actions do. What’s that thing which makes you feel motivated, geared up for more fun, adventure and happiness? What’s your yellow paint? @pedalandtring @MichielvZuijlen @samgerrits@svembu@andoos23@crownvin@Dutchreviewing
During my visit to Kerala yesterday I had the opportunity to meet Sriman Narayanan Ji, whom I had mentioned in one of the #MannKiBaat programmes. Hailing from Ernakulam, he has done exceptional work in ensuring animals and birds don’t remain thirsty during the peak summer season. He distributed several earthen pots over the years.
