Jaipur, Sunday | March 3, 2024 03

ecently, in
the national
convention
of BJP held
in New Del-
hi, there was a discussion
on forming the Modi gov-
ernment for the third time
in the country as well as
realizing the dream of a
developed India. Whatever
Modi said on this occasion
is worth considering. Modi
said that we have come out
not for politics but for na-
tional policy. The heights
that India has achieved in
every field today have
united every indian with a
great resolve. This resolu-
tion is of developed India.
Modi has been talking
about developed India for
a long time. He has set a
target of making the coun-
try developed by 2047. He
often says that now the
country can neither see
small dreams nor take
small resolutions. Now
dreams will also be huge
and resolutions will also be
huge. It is our dream and
resolution that we have to
make India developed. It is
true that Modi never
showed small dreams to
the public. He has always
been talking about a strong,
capable and developed In-
dia and his government has
been working continuous-
ly in that direction since
2014. In 2014, more than
17 crore people voted for
BJP and formed the Modi
government with a major-
ity of 282 seats because
they had an expectation
from Modi. After five
years, in the 2019 Lok
Sabha elections, more than
23 crore voters voted and
gave 303 seats to BJP only
because Modi lived up to
their expectations.
Lok Sabha elections are
being held this year. With
the achievements of Modi
government, BJP has en-
tered the election field un-
der the leadership of Modi.
This time the target is to
cross 400 but the big ques-
tion is how will BJP be
able to achieve such a huge
target? Political analysts
are answering this as a
guarantee from Modi. It is
believed that on the basis
of Modi’s guarantee, BJP
will form the government
at the Center for the third
time. BJP will contest the
elections on the basis of its
achievements and its poli-
cies and programs in the
last ten years. This election
will be fought by BJP on
the basis of the work that
Modi has been doing for
the last ten years for the
revival of cultural India.
Modi himself has an-
nounced guarantee of 370
seats for BJPand 400 seats
for NDA and votes of 66
crore voters in 2024.
Modi has done so much
for cultural development
in the country, which is dif-
ficult to describe in words.
Extensive work has been
done for every section in-
cluding energy, foreign
policy, security, medicine,
education, development of
cultural tourism, economic
progress, poor welfare,
women upliftment. This
represents taking difficult
decisions for the nation.
The world worships power
and Modi has cherished
the dream of making
Mother India powerful
since childhood. The abo-
lition of Article 370 from
Kashmir has been a his-
toric step. It is an honor to
become Central Vista in
Delhi. Modi is worrying
about every class. He is
working like an ascetic. He
considers 140 crore people
of the country as his idol.
The resolutions of Satvik
ascetic people are always
fulfilled because the reso-
lutions of crores of people
also join with them. The
country is moving forward
in this spirit.
Even when Modi was
the Chief Minister of Gu-
jarat for 15 years, he gave
the ‘Gujarat Development
Model’ to the country and
established Gujarat as Vi-
brant Gujarat in the whole
world.After he became the
Prime Minister, the entire
country is moving on the
path of progress.
Whatever the Modi gov-
ernment has done in the
last ten years, the condition
of the common people has
improved. Per capita in-
come has increased but the
target is still far but not
impenetrable. Modi is con-
tinuously working in this
direction. Modi had
launched the Make in India
program in 2014. This is a
kind of indigenous pro-
gram started with the aim
of creating employment
opportunities and promot-
ing the manufacturing sec-
tor in the country. Make in
India covers all sectors of
the economy and its prom-
ising results are continu-
ously emerging. Modi has
done a lot for the uplift-
ment of farmers and agri-
culture in the country. Un-
der PM Kisan Samman
Nidhi Yojana, the Central
Government is providing
assistance of Rs 6,000 to
small farmers of the coun-
try. The use of drones is
being promoted in agricul-
ture. There is maximum
emphasis on improved
farming. It is not hidden
from anyone how much
the Pradhan Mantri Garib
Kalyan Anna Yojana has
benefited the needy sec-
tions of the country. We are
already seeing how Ujjwa-
la Yojana has changed the
lives of women.
Earlier, house of a poor
person used to be sold for
the treatment of disease,
but the facility of free
treatment up to Rs 5 lakh
under the Ayushman
Bharat scheme of Modi
government has changed
the situation. There are
many schemes like Prad-
han Mantri Jeevan Jyoti
BimaYojana,Atal Pension
Yojana and Pradhan Man-
tri Suraksha Bima Yojana,
which were run with the
aim of protecting the large
population of the country,
which have provided sup-
port to the common peo-
ple. Under the Pradhan
Mantri Awas Yojana, the
dream of crores of people
of owning a house has
come true. The country’s
economy is strengthening
rapidly. There was a time
when the country’s gold
had to be mortgaged, but in
the last ten years, India’s
foreign exchange reserves
have doubled to reach
$616.7 billion. This data
released by RBI is till Jan-
uary 26, 2024. Economic
experts believe that this
has increased our liquidity
in terms of foreign ex-
change and the country is
fully capable of dealing
with any external econom-
ic crisis or risk. The credit
for this goes to many major
reforms in the policies of
Modi government, trade
balance, controlled infla-
tion, stable stock market
and attraction of foreign
investors.
While the impeccable
tenure of 10 years of Modi
government is commend-
able, taking 25 crore peo-
ple out of poverty is com-
mendable. The way Modi
government has freed the
country from mega-scams
and terror and has tried to
improve the lives of the
poor, it is a big achieve-
ment. The way Modi ig-
nited the spark of change
in the governance system
under ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka
Vishwas, Sabka Vikas’, it
has become possible to
move towards inclusive,
development-oriented and
corruption-free govern-
ance. Due to the foresight
of Modi, there has been
success in realizing the ob-
jective of Antyodaya and
making the people sitting
at the last corner of the so-
ciety benefit from the gov-
ernment schemes. Various
international agencies
have confirmed that under
the leadership of PM Modi,
India is eliminating pov-
erty at a record pace.Agen-
cies have credit this to
various decisions taken by
the Modi government
keeping in mind the inter-
ests of the poor. Under the
Suryodaya Yojana, the
pledge to install solar pan-
els on one crore houses of
poor and middle class fam-
ilies and the use of solar
energy, wind energy and
renewable and green en-
ergy will not only solve the
energy crisis but will also
help in removing carbon
pollution from the world.
The construction of Shri
Ram Temple has filled the
country with a new energy.

MODI MAPS
FUTURE
Modi has said that he is
asking for a third term not
for the sake of enjoying
power, but for the sake
of a developed India. He
wants to work completely
on the model of developed
India in the third term
of the government
and this model is not
of western imitation.
Modi’s model of developed
India includes upliftment
of farmers and agriculture,
control on consumerist
expenditure, good educa-
tion, better medical care,
economic self-reliance,
promotion of cultural val-
ues, work for every hand.
He wants to awaken the
consciousness of nation.
India is emerging rapidly
on the world economic
scene. The ministry’s
January 2024 economic
review said India will
become the world’s third-
largest economy with a
GDP of $5 trillion in the
next three years. And
with continued reforms
it is expected to reach
$7 trillion by 2030.
Modi has already made its
roadmap. In the next five
years, there is a possibility
that the work stalled for the
last 70 years will not only
be completed but all the cit-
izens will also be motivated
to fulfill their duties towards
the developed nation.

MISINFORMATION
all it Sharad Pawar’s gambit which has left
CongressandShivSena(Uddhav)flummoxed
about his next move. The wily Maharashtra
strongman invited Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and
his two deputies---Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar
(whobroketheNationalistCongressParty)---forlunch
in his constituency Baramati. Unless they are privy to
Sharad Pawar’s next move, even the above three lead-
ers would be wondering why the NCPchief was being
so gracious. They have so far kept mum.
The personal invites to his rivals was even more
surprising as Sharad Pawar himself has not been in-
vited for an event where all three leaders will be pre-
sent. The ruling combine’s intent is obvious: weaken
Sharad Pawar’s hold on Baramati in the Lok Sabha
elections. His daughter Supriya Sule is a Lok Sabha
MP from Baramati. She may have to face Ajit Pa-
war’s wife Sunetra Pawar in the forthcoming elec-
tions. Will Sharad Pawar join the queue that goes to
the BJP headquarters?
C
eepfakes fuel misinformation, posing a threat
to India’s upcoming elections. IT Minister
Rajeev Chandrasekhar labelled it a “very
problematic issue,” hinting at stricter laws for social
media companies failing to regulate content. Preced-
ing his warning, the government advised these firms
to comply with Information Technology Rules. With
Lok Sabha elections looming, concerns mount over
AI-driven misinformation and deepfakes. Chan-
drasekhar emphasized that deepfakes, bolstered byAI,
escalate risks to the safety and trust of digital citizens.
As the nation braces for polls, and the fear of ma-
nipulated content looms large, Google seems to have
taken a step in the right direction by tying up with
fact-checkers for ear-
ly detection of online
misinformation, in-
cluding deepfakes
and “to create a com-
mon repository” for
the use of media
houses. To fight the
menace of misinfor-
mation, Google said
in a blog post, it will
support “Shakti, In-
dia Election Fact-
Checking Collective,
a consortium of fact-
checkers working
together to aid the
early detection of on-
line misinformation,
including deepfakes”
to help people better evaluate online information”.
The best example of how misinformation can
erode people’s trust in democracy was seen during
the 2020 US presidential election when a false meta-
narrative about voter fraud began to be spread. A
study by Stanford University, however, found that
compared to the 2016 elections fewerAmericans vis-
ited unreliable websites. The study concluded that
“mitigation and education efforts to identify misin-
formation are working”.
With Google putting in place a robust system to
combat misinformation, it now up to the people to
sift fact from mischievous fiction that will begin to
be circulated by unscrupulous elements.

Rajya’which the Bharati-
ya Janata Party (BJP) de-

ance, is all about good

wards ending corruption.
He inaugurated 1100
Annapurna Bhawans and
launched Electronic

“Withcontinuousefforts

Modi rallied support-

Referring to the inci-
dents in Sandeshkhali,
where women have lev-
elled charges of sexual
abuse against TMC lead-
ers, Modi accused the
state government of aban-
doning the aggrieved
women and instead siding
with the accused.
“People of West Ben-

ment is functioning.They
have repeatedly given
such huge mandates to
the TMC with great ex-
pectations, but the party
has become another name
for tyranny, dynasty poli-
tics and betrayal. The
TMC’s priority is corrup-

They put a sticker on

hesitate in snatching

priving them,” he said.
In the coming years, the BJP will create innumerable
opportunities for investments and employment in
the country and the state. To ensure this, you must
mark your contribution in the Lok Sabha elections
by ensuring the victory of the BJP. The lotus must
bloom in all the 42 seats of West Bengal.

‘India has eliminated extreme
poverty,’claims US think-tank
First India Bureau
New Delhi
he American
Think Tank
Brookings In-
stitution has noted that
India has eliminated ex-
treme poverty, which
can be seen through the
sharp decline in head-
count poverty ratio and
stark increase in house-
hold consumption
The report, authored
by Surjit Bhalla and
Karan Bhasin, states
that this has been a re-
sult of the government’s
strong policy thrust on
redistribution, which
has led to strong inclu-
sive growth in India
over the last decade.
The report said high
growth and large decline
in inequality have com-
bined to eliminate pov-
erty in India. The data
show a strikingly lower
number of poor people in
India, than those estimat-
ed by the World Bank.
The Headcount Pov-
erty Ratio at Purchase
Power Parity $ 1.9 level
has declined from 12.2
% in 2011-12 to 2 % in
2022-23. The authors
believe that the relatively
higher consumption
growth in rural areas
should not come as a sur-
prise given the “strong
policy thrust on redistri-
bution through a wide
variety of publicly fund-
ed programmes.
The report further states that elimination of extreme poverty
is an encouraging development with positive implications for
global poverty headcount rates.

States military carried
out its first airdrop of
humanitarian aid into Gaza
on Saturday, U.S. officials
said, and aid agencies
warned of a growing humani-
tarian disaster in the Palestin-
ian enclave as Israel pressed
on with its offensive. Three
C-130 planes delivered more
than 35,000 meals into a
territory where the United
Nations says one quarter of
the population is one step
from famine, and Palestin-
ians posted videos on social
media showing boxes of
aid being dropped. The US
said the airdrops will be a
sustained effort, and Israel is
supportive of the operation.

FIRST INDIA SUNDAY SPECIAL
Mirch Masala
WHODECORATEDTHESAFFRONSTAGEINHIMACHAL?
he smell of rebellion is still prev-
alent in the valleys of Himachal
Pradesh and no one knows
exactly how long this ceasefire will last.
But sources close to the Congress top
leadership are saying with confidence that
‘whether there is a Congress government
in Himachal after the Lok Sabha election
or not, at least Sukhu will not be the CM
of Himachal post elections.’ If sources are
to be believed, the former Chief Minister
of the Congress, who is now drenched
in saffron i.e. Captain Amarinder Singh
had an important role in the cultivation
of Rani Pratibha Singh and her son
Vikramaditya Singh. Amarinder Singh is
related to Pratibha Singh’s late husband
Virbhadra Singh, hence both the families
are very close to each other. Anyway, all
the half-dozen MLAs who switched sides
in this Rajya Sabha election and were
disqualified by the Congress are said
to be from Pratibha Singh’s camp. Out
of these MLAs, Himachal Congress in-
charge Rajiv Shukla wanted to make two
MLAs ministers in the Sukhu government.
So this time the blame is falling on Shukla
ji also. Congress supporters are taking
him to task on social media and even
calling him an ‘agent’ of BJP. When DK
Shivakumar was sent to Shimla consider-
ing the seriousness of the matter, the first
thing he said to Pratibha Singh was that
‘she will be made the CM of Himachal
after the Lok Sabha elections’. It is said
that only after this her son Vikramaditya
Singh agreed to withdraw his resigna-
tion. It is said that DK has also assured
Pratibha that these six MLAs will return
home and has also said that ‘the party
high command will not take any action
against them.’
T
he Left parties,
which were
following the
steps of Congress and
INDI Alliance, have also
changed their mind about
Congress. Recently, the
Marxist Communist Party
i.e. CPM in its mouthpiece
‘People’s Democracy’ has
cursed the Congress lead-
ership. Pointing towards
the Himachal episode, the
party has accused the Con-
gress of doing politics and
wanted to know that ‘when
so much was going on in
the inner room of Himachal
for so many days, then was
the Congress leadership
was sleeping?’ Regarding
Kamal Nath, CPM took a
jibe at the Congress and
said ‘Kamal Nath went to
court of Dhirendra Shastri
but Congress leadership
did not take any notice.’ It
has been said in mouth-
piece that ‘Congress will
have to connect with the
land, its roots and make
its ideology stronger, it
will have to understand
with whom it is competing.
The real strength of BJP
is Sangh but why does
Congress not understand
it.’ CPM has also directly
challenged Rahul and
told him that ‘contesting
elections here in Wayanad
will not work, because
BJP is not in competition
here.’ Party’s Politburo also
believes that ‘if Rahul really
wants to stand as a leader,
then he will have to go and
fight battle there where
he has a direct fight with
BJP. That is, the Left wants
Rahul Gandhi to at least go
to Amethi and contest the
elections.
T
n employment fair was organised in the
Vidya Pratisthan College campus of
Baramati on Saturday, March 2 and this
fair was named ‘Namo Maha Rozgar Melawa’. This
fair was scheduled to be inaugurated by Maharash-
tra CM Eknath Shinde and along with him, his two
deputy CMs Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar had
also visited Baramati. When senior Maratha leader
Sharad Pawar came to know about the programme
of these three leaders to come to Baramati, he hur-
riedly invited Shinde, Fadnavis and Ajit to his house
for dinner. Citing their respective arrangements,
both Shinde and Fadnavis rejected Sharad Pawar’s
dinner invitation. Actu-
ally, Sharad Pawar’s
daughter Supriya Sule
is the MP from Baramati
and BJP is under pres-
sure from Ajit Pawar to
field his wife Sunetra Pawar against Supriya, so that
the fight becomes high profile.
He wants to field his son Parth Pawar in place of
his wife. But Sunetra comes from a political family
and is also known for social work in the area and
she has also been active in Baramati for a long
time. Supriya has been representing Baramati for
3 times, while Ajit Pawar had also won the parlia-
mentary elections from Baramati in 1991. He is also
a 7-time MLA from this area, hence this time the
parliamentary elections of Baramati have become
very interesting.
A
HOWLONGWILLNITISHBECM?
here is ongoing turmoil in both the major
alliances of Bihar as MLAs are also moving
here and there. Recently, 7 MLAs of RJD
and Congress have defected to BJP and apart from
this, 4 MLAs of Jitan Ram Manjhi and independent
Sumit Kumar Singh are also with BJP. 11 Congress
MLAs are still in the throes of ‘Operation Lotus’. That
is, the BJP which had only 74 MLAs in the last as-
sembly elections, is today the largest political party
in the state. Even JDU is not safe from the heat of
Operation Lotus and that is why JDU chief Nitish
Kumar is still talking about this and insisting that
‘Bihar assembly elections should also be held along
with this Lok Sabha elections’. But BJP has changed
its tactics and made a new move that ‘Now the CM
should be of BJP.’ So if Nitish is not successful in
holding both the elections together, then he may
be out of office in May-June. Anyway, Deputy Chief
Minister of the state Samrat Chaudhary from BJP
quota has not yet removed his turban.

BasedRevival
n my small vil-
lage in India,
farmers often
faced annual crop
failures due to erratic rain-
fall. We experimented with
what is called Natural Cli-
mate Solutions (NCS). This
included such restoring
nearby forests, creating
rainwater harvesting struc-
tures, and incorporating
farmyard manure along with
green manuring into their
agricultural practices. We
witnessed a remarkable
transformation. These ef-
forts brought improved wa-
ter availability in our dried
wells. We could afford en-
hanced irrigation during ter-
minal drought spells. We
could enrich soil carbon in
our farms. Ultimately, all
this led to better farm yields
and improved livelihoods.
This story exemplifies just
one of the many ways NCS
can positively impact eco-
systems, economies, and
communities.
Let us see another exam-
ple. In the heart of India,
where the Ganges flows
with the stories of civiliza-
tions past and the Himalayas
stand as sentinels of time, a
revolution is quietly unfold-
ing. It's not one marked by
the clamour of industry or
the whirlwind of technology,
but by the gentle rustle of
leaves, the whisper of grass-
lands, and the silent vigil of
wetlands.
This is the story of Natu-
ral Climate Solutions (NCS)
- an ancient wisdom being
rediscovered and embraced
in modern India's fight
against climate change.And,
I am happy to be part of this
journey.
NCS refers to sustainable
management and restoration
of natural ecosystems such
as forests, grasslands, and
wetlands, to capture carbon
dioxide from the atmos-
phere. It also encompasses
adaptation to climate
change. At its core, NCS is
about working with nature,
rather than against it, to ad-
dress the climate crisis. But
why do these solutions mat-
ter to all
of us The answer lies not
just in their ability to miti-
gate climate change but also
in their profound impact on
biodiversity, water security,
and livelihoods. Indeed,
NCSs are the answer to more
than 30 % problem of car-
bon emissions.
India, with its diverse eco-
systems, ranging from the
snow-capped peaks of the
Himalayas to the lush West-
ern Ghats and the vast Thar
Desert, presents a unique as-
semblage of landscapes for
implementing NCS. The
country is home to over
3708 tree species of trees,
each playing a role in the
carbon cycle.Yet, the poten-
tial of these natural allies has
been underutilized until re-
cently. The situation is
changing though.
Consider the Sundarbans,
the largest mangrove forest
in the world, straddling In-
dia and Bangladesh. Man-
groves are among the most
effective carbon sinks on the
planet. A study published in
the journal Nature Climate
Change highlighted that
mangroves could sequester
four times more carbon per
unit area than tropical rain-
forests. The Sundarbans and
similar other mangroves in
India could be a key player
in India's climate strategy,
safeguarding millions of
people from the devastations
of cyclones while sequester-
ing vast amounts of carbon.
We must, however, under-
stand that natural climate
solutions are not merely
about the big projects or
players. Indeed, every action
matters. Throughout the
country, small-scale projects
are demonstrating the power
of local action. In the arid
landscapes of Rajasthan,
learning from the ancient
practice of growing trees on
farms, community-led ef-
forts have transformed de-
graded farms into thriving
agroforestry systems. These
initiatives not only sequester
carbon but also enhance
food security and provide
sustainable livelihoods to
rural communities.
The economic argument
for NCS is compelling. Ac-
cording to a report by the
World Resources Institute,
every dollar invested in res-
toration and sustainable for-
est management can yield up
to $30 in economic benefits.
These benefits come in the
form of improved water fil-
tration, flood protection, en-
hanced soil fertility, and the
global value of carbon se-
questration. We must, how-
ever, be clear that the success
of NCS hinges on the par-
ticipation and support of lo-
cal communities, for they are
on the frontlines of bearing
the brunt of climate change.
Consequently, recognizing
their role and ensuring that
NCS pathways are equitable
and inclusive is crucial.
As India strides towards
its ambitious goal of seques-
tering 2.5 to 3 billion tons of
CO2 equivalent by 2030, the
role of NCS cannot be over-
stated. The government's
commitment, reflected in
policies such as the National
Agroforestry Policy and the
CompensatoryAfforestation
FundAct is a step in the right
direction. However, realiz-
ing the full potential
of NCS requires scaling
up these efforts, fostering in-
novation, and building part-
nerships across sectors. The
NCS are an authentication of
the power of nature to re-
grow and sustain beyond
shocks and ravages, if we
intervene at the right time
and right manner. NCS in-
terventions draw on scien-
tific, experiential and tradi-
tional knowledge for a
greener and climate-resilient
future. As we stand at the
crossroads of crisis related
to climate change, conserva-
tion and livelihoods, let the
initial success of NCS inter-
ventions remind us that in
nature, we find our most po-
tent solutions. Together, em-
bracing the principles of
NCS, we can create a path to
a sustainable world, for our-
selves, and for the genera-
tions to come.
It is interesting to recall
the innovative initiatives
that are unfolding after our
State Roundtable on NCS.
We recently had a knowl-
edge and training roundtable
in Gujarat. We discussed the
multifaceted benefits of
NCS—not just for carbon
sequestration but also for
enhancing biodiversity, wa-
ter security, mangrove resto-
ration, rewilding empty for-
ests, and
community livelihoods.
The realization that this
work could directly contrib-
ute to India's climate goals
while also addressing local
environmental and social is-
sues was profoundly impact-
ful. Gujarat has recently en-
tered into an MoU with an
international organization to
bring US$266 million for
mangrove restoration.
Another example comes
from Haryana. Following
the lead from the discussions
on the State Roundtable on
NCS, Haryana has enacted
an ambitious programme of
tree planting on non-forest
lands with the participation
of citizens. It is called the
Van Mitra Scheme and
provides assured incen-
tives tied to the survival and
growth of the planted sap-
lings. As we move ahead to
address climate change, con-
servation, and livelihoods,
the early successes of NCS
interventions serve as a
powerful reminder of na-
ture's solutions. By imple-
menting NCS principles,
pathways and practice, India
is not just addressing its cli-
mate commitments but also
sowing the seeds for a green-
er, more resilient future for
generations to come. This
journey, enriched with
knowledge, collaboration,
and respect for nature's ca-
pabilities, illuminates the
path to sustainability—a
path where every step, every
initiative, every action, and
every tree planted matters
towards a collective victory
against climate change.
In support of India's ef-
forts to harness Natural Cli-
mate Solutions lies a trans-
formative initiative that has
seen more than 900 senior
forest officers across 9 states
being trained in the princi-
ples and practices of NCS.
We are slated to reach 16
States and more than 12 sci-
entific institutions by Sep-
tember 2024. This monu-
mental endeavour aims to
align forestry practices with
India’s Nationally Deter-
mined Contributions
(NDCs) to combat climate
change, promising a signifi-
cant shift towards sustaina-
bility. This initiative, sup-
ported by The Nature Con-
servancy—one of the
world's leading conservation
and scientific organiza-
tions—and hosted by TERI
School ofAdvanced Studies,
represents one of the largest
Knowledge and Training
Initiatives on NCS in India.
Given that the Forest De-
partment controls over 80
million hectares of land in
the country, the potential im-
pact of this training is im-
mense. It's a vivid example
of how capacity building can
catalyze environmental
stewardship, demonstrating
that the path to a sustainable
future is paved with knowl-
edge, collaboration, and a
deep respect for nature's ca-
pabilities.
Indeed, over the past 10
months or so, I have pursued
the mission of imparting us-
able knowledge to Indian
Forest Service officers and
forest personnel across vari-
ous states in India, empha-
sizing the critical impor-
tance and evidence-based
practical implementation of
natural climate solutions
(NCS). My commitment has
been driven by an urgency
to address climate change
through sustainable prac-
tices deeply rooted in my
lifelong learning from sci-
entific, experiential and in-
digenous knowledge gained
over four decades. Through
comprehensive workshops,
engaging discussions, and
hands-on field sessions, I
have not only disseminated
valuable knowledge but also
ignited a transformative
shift towards taking NCS
actions on the ground. The
positive changes that have
since emerged in the field
stand as a testament to the
usefulness of training and
the potential of knowledge-
able field officers to bring
meaningful impact. It is
deeply satisfying that my ef-
forts have fostered a flour-
ishing enthusiasm and dedi-
cation among these guardi-
ans of our natural heritage
such as forests, grasslands,
wetlands, agroecosystems
and other ecosystems.
These efforts are ensuring
that NCS do not merely re-
main theoretical concepts
but are actively woven into
the fabric of every effort
aimed at the sustainability
of planet Earth. The journey
continues.
