Our farmer from Parli, Baba Salgar, is shown here preparing his Mulberry plantation for his silkworms. Having previously planted soya, cotton, bajra, and jowar , Baba Salgar has now turned his 1-acre farm into a mulberry plantation, where he plants approximately 5,500 mulberry trees, and earns around 50,000 rupees per month! He uses only organic fertilizers and no pesticides.
Initially, nobody in Malnatpur or any of the nearby villages took up sericulture as a source of income, but after Baba Salgar took this leap of faith, over 80 farmers have come forward and adopted this farming practice.
Our congratulations to Baba Salgar for guiding his peers into this line of work, and we wish him all the very best!

Mayank Gandhi was an international urban planner (part of the Advisory Body of Chicago-based CTBUH working in developed countries. It was in 2003 that he decided to work on transformative reforms in public life that would bring justice to the common Indian.
He was part of the team that collaborated with Anna Hazare in the drafting and passing of the Maharashtra RTI. As part of his zeal to transform the country, he started the India Against Corruption (IAC) movement along with Arvind Kejriwal and Anna Hazare. This historical nationwide movement motivated Indians of all ages and backgrounds to make their voices heard about the state of governance of the country. This movement then morphed into the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), of which he was the National Executive member.
