This document outlines a team's vision for the future of farming and education in India. The team wants to create an organization that employs farmers' expertise and agricultural research to profitably use farmland. They propose combining outdoor, project-based learning with distance education to train the next generation of agronomists. Adopting this "dream education" along with modern technology and sustainable practices could revolutionize Indian agriculture and address issues like global warming and hunger. Precedents like Rabindranath Tagore's university and an Indian foundation show elements of this vision have already been successfully implemented.

This project report discusses India's waste management problems and solutions proposed under government schemes like Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and Green India. It notes that while India generates 150 million tons of waste daily, only 10-20% is recycled. The problems stem from lack of public awareness and government mismanagement due to the large population. Solutions involve increasing forest cover, improving ecosystem services, and creating new organizations to monitor frameworks with an expected budget of over Rs. 2 lakh crores from the government and World Bank. The conclusion stresses that lasting change requires individual citizen participation in the Swachh Bharat campaign.
