How brilliant rejuvenation of rivers transforms rural Gujarat 🇮🇳.
Amreli district in Gujarat untill very recently was a desolate place. The rivers were silted and dead. It was very dry. Young people left for Surat and other cities.
Then something incredible happened - the miracle of water. Dholakia Foundation, supported by the government of Gujarat, built 180 dams and lakes. They widened and deepened the riverbeds. Water is back - big time. The monsoon starts this week.
With water farmers who depended on one crop, can have two or three. Fruits like mango grow everywhere. Trees are planted across Amreli. With forests deer and wild pigs return. And with access to prey lions start inhabiting the region, outside the national park. This is the endangered Asian lion, so the increase in lion numbers matters a lot.
Congrats with great work in Amreli. Please connect to Dholakia Foundation for inspiration if you wish to replicate elsewhere.
ખેડૂતોને યોગ્ય વળતર મળવું જોઈએ એમાં કોઈ શંકા નથી, પણ જ્યારે સૌરાષ્ટ્ર અને કચ્છના લાખો ખેડૂતો પાણી વગર તળવળતા હતા અને મેઘા પાટકર સરદાર સરોવર ડેમને વર્ષો સુધી અટકાવીને બેઠા હતા ત્યારે કેમ કોઈ ટ્રેક્ટર રેલી ત્યાં ના પહોંચી?
ખેડૂતો બહુ ભોળા છે, એ એવા લોકોનો હાથો બની રહ્યા છે જેમણે સૌરાષ્ટ્ર અને કચ્છના લાખો ખેડૂતોને વર્ષો સુધી પોતાની રાજનીતિ માટે પાણી વગરના રાખ્યા હતા.
અને આ એ જ કોંગ્રેસ છે જેમના પ્રધાનમંત્રીએ 10 વર્ષ સુધી ડેમની હાઈટ વધારવા માટેની ફાઈલ દબાવીને રાખી હતી.
@Icarus_Reloaded Two sanctuaries for you:
1. Biblosanctuary - where there are a lot of books.
2. Memerosanctuary - where there are ancient memeries trapped in stones.

Major economies run double-stack freight trains, but they still rely on diesel because standard electric lines can't clear two-story trains.
But instead of settling, India custom-built a 7.5-meter high-rise grid. Today, India is the FIRST and ONLY country on Earth running double-stack containers on pure electric power. This is the scale of transformation happening under the Modi govt.
"No one hates Modi & BJP more than me but reality is anti-Modi folks ask me how Rahul Gandhi will handle a Gulf crisis, China attack or emergency? He doesn't qualify."
Deep down every Modi hater knows they can trust Modi but not Rahul Gandhi🗿
