BBC Short Video on Education in India - Recycled Learning System (Awesome)

Superb - Amazing thought turn into implementation
- Motivating and Inspiring.

After watching this video, I guess most of  you will agree - "As we are growing  - we are tending more towards marketing our knowledge and skills"- More often  we hear people discussing about their skills and passion of learning process. Today, there are very less people around the world who would like to share their knowledge or skills with others, but one can notice many are tending towards marketing skills and knowledge.

Bio-diesel: Veggie Van "Fuel" Documentary..... Life, Pollution and Impact on Environment.

The documentary about FUEL  Veggie Van: Bio-diesel is not all about fuel. It is also about the Life, Pollution  and impact on environment. Pollution and demand for FUEL is growing concerns. One cannot avoid this but we minimize it by considering / adopting alternative solutions..........


Director Josh Tickell takes us along for his 11 year journey around the world to find solutions to America's addiction to oil. A shrinking economy, a failing auto industry, rampant unemployment, an out-of-control national debt, and an insatiable demand for energy weigh heavily on all of us. Fuel shows us the way out of the mess we're in by explaining how to replace every drop of oil we now use, while creating green jobs and keeping our money here at home. The film never dwells on the negative, but instead shows us the easy solutions already within our reach.

India's Karnataka State Pioneers a Holistic Approach to Watershed Development

India's Karnataka State Pioneers a Holistic Approach to Watershed Development
SUBMITTED BY SOUTH ASIA ON WED, 02/23/2011 - 18:55


The Karnataka Watershed Development project - also known as Sujala - has increased the availability of water in seven drought-prone districts of northern Karnataka. Treatments on the upper and lower reaches of watersheds have helped raise water tables, brought degraded lands under cultivation, enabled farmers to diversify into higher value crops and horticulture, and raised agricultural productivity. State of the art remote sensing has been used to monitor impacts. Incomes for both the landed and landless poor have increased.
