The document summarizes a project by students and staff of Satya Bharti School in Belwa Ranaji, Rajasthan to address the problem of desertification in their region. They organized a "March Against Desert March" which included a community rally and plantation drive on a nearby sand dune. With support from the village Sarpanch and Forest Department, over 300 plants were planted. The march raised awareness about desertification issues and motivated community members to participate. Students felt empowered to enact positive change and community members were grateful for efforts to address the shifting deserts problem.

1. A March Against Desert March ‘ A March Against Desert March’ Satya Bharti School , Belwa Ranaji , (Jodhpur) , Rajasthan , Bharti Foundation Problem Being attempted : The western part of Rajasthan is covered by Thar Desert (western part of Jodhpur where our school lies).Every year in Summers strong sand storm blows from South- West to North-East. The sand of these huge deserts blow and change their place. The moving & changing of place by Deserts is known as Desert March. The Deserts cover the plains, even nearby hills which are fertile, useful for farming & transportation makes this land unfertile & of no use. The only way to set back these Deserts is to do plantation on them which consumes less water.

5. We ‘Imagined’: Due to the Lack of proper supervision by the Govt, positive attitude of general public and the will to implement the program, the scheme itself becomes the part of Deserts. Plantation seems to the only remedy to improve the situation.. So the easiest, economical and the best method which can stop Desert March is to do plantation on these Deserts. We thought that we can share our ideas, through rallies & by sensitizing local leaders like sarpanches ward panches etc who can move the community easily

9. We ‘Did’: Students from nearby government school also joined in our March against the desert March Plantation on desert can be seen easily image taken from our school This March was flagged off by plantation in school premises by Sarpanchji who joined hand with us Plantation alongwith the community
