 This journey, and in terms of experience, it started very early in my life because I've always been outdoors and I have a certain sense of land. So, my engagement with this has been very long-term, but action-orientedness came in the… from 1998. On that year, some UN agencies came to Tamil Nadu and made a prediction that by 2025, sixty percent of Tamil Nadu will be… will be facing desertification. So, when I looked at this, I did not believe it, first of all. So, I decided to drive around Tamil Nadu and see for myself. Then I saw what they were saying was incorrect because in my experience, I felt it'll happen well before 2025 because three perennial rivers had dried up in Tamil Nadu. When I saw this, I thought we need to do something. So, at that time, the average green cover across Tamil Nadu was sixteen point five percent. The national aspiration was thirty-three percent. So, I said we need to get this to thirty-three percent. What does it take? I made a simple barefoot calculation. So, I called a group of our volunteers and said, see we need to plant hundred-and-forty million trees. They thought I've gone crazy because Sadhguru hundred-and-forty million trees, who can plant this? I asked what is your population? They said sixty-two million. See, if all of us plant one tree, take care of it for two years and plant one more tree, you've got the number. Why is it that it can't be done? Simply because all of us are consuming, but all of us are not willing to do the compensatory work. That's the whole thing. So, based on this, we started a movement called Project Green Hands, which planted millions of trees, still continuing to do that. And we converted a few over hundred-and-twenty thousand farmers into tree-based agriculture, where we saw significant improvement in the soil quality, in the nutritional values of the food and above all. For the farmer, it is an economic process because in seven to eight years' time, his income is going up anywhere between three hundred to eight hundred percent. In the last fifteen years, I have brought the trees into my garden in the direction of Jesus Christ. Now, how has the garden turned out? It has turned into an economic process along with the trees. Then, we came to the garden and said, let's test it and see how it turned out. It is 0.5. Now, it is 1.3 zero. I come across Rally for Rivers and Cauvery calling Camping. I planted almost two thousand saplings of six different varieties of high-value timber trees in my farmland. In fifteen to twenty years down the line, it will fetch me about eight to ten crore rupees' income. So, my future is fixed. One important thing I'm pushing for right now is, we must eliminate the term forest produce. There is no such thing. If you want timber, you must grow it. If you want honey, you must grow it. Whatever else you need, you must grow it on your agricultural lands. Right now, we are importing over seventy thousand crores worth of timber from various parts of the world. These seventy thousand crores could go to our farmers in the next twenty years if we start plantations right now. This does not mean we give up farming. We can grow almost every crop. This is what we have proven in the last twenty-two years. My work is to officiate the marriage of economy and ecology because if these two things don't come together, ecology will be beaten. Based on this, we launched the next thing because I saw there were many policy anomalies to plant trees in the land. How this was affected is, I drove from Kanyakumari to Himalayan region in twenty-nine days, covering sixteen states. At that time, in these sixteen states, there were six different political parties. We got absolute participation from all those political parties because there were one hundred and sixty-two million people supporting the movement. We must understand, in a democracy, there is only one currency that is the numbers, the people. I gave this policy document to the Prime Minister at about six-twenty in the evening. Next day, before eleven o'clock, just before eleven o'clock, the PM will call us and says, a special cell has been formed and they want a soft copy within three-and-a-half months. The Niti Ayog made this a recommendation policy for all the twenty-eight states. Niti Vitalization is a very important program. We have already prepared DPRs for thirteen rivers and I always hold that ideation comes from people like you. Your power is ideation. Our power is multiplication. That is what we are doing. So that is the story of Rally for Rivers. We knew that we had to manifest something which is a large-scale sample. This is why we took up Kaveri Calling. Kaveri because I grew up around Kaveri. What it was fifty years ago, today it is only forty percent of what it was fifty years ago. Kaveri Calling is an active process. There are nine districts in Karnataka which cover Kaveri Basin. We were working only in these nine districts and in the month of August, September, we had a… you know, like our volunteers went down and did eighteen-hundred events in about six weeks' time. Eighteen-hundred events in eighteen-hundred panchayats. Looking at this now, Karnataka government just less than two weeks ago sent an invite for us to take this up in thirty-one districts, that is all the districts in Karnataka. UNCCD, looking at the success of Kaveri Calling, is right now projecting Kaveri Calling as an ideal project in tropical world. Kaveri Calling could also be a large-scale project that helps improve the living conditions of the most vulnerable populations while rehabilitating the land that sustains all of us. To me, you are the incarnation of the sustainable development goals because while there are seventeen of them, they're all at the end about these two – people and planet, uplifted people and protect the planet. And that's your mission. So thank you so much, people and planet. So, pandemic has no way slowed us down. The dedication of our volunteers, risking their own personal health and well-being, they've been out there traveling, doing things. To understand this, Kaveri Calling is not just a fanciful project of our own. This is of enormous significance for the world to manifest that it's possible to change the terrain of degraded land by taking planned and strategized action towards this. So, everybody be a part of this and let's make this happen. This is our time on the planet. We as a generation of people have to show that we can do positive things.
