I am so proud of American Resilience Project and #farmfreeordie. This documentary digs into how climate change is impacting farmers and how they are responding with #regenerativeagriculture to strengthen soil health and produce more with less inputs on the same or smaller footprint. US farmers are amazing and innovative in their ability to feed and fuel the world while decarbonizing and boosting efficiencies. #sustainableagriculture #bethechange

🎵mero gam katha pare ja dhudh ki nadiya wahe ja🎵 At IRMA, our induction is unlike any other. It begins with a screening of the iconic film, Manthan. This old tradition unites generations of IRMAns even till batch 44 (and beyond), fostering a shared understanding of our mission in rural India. Manthan, inspired by the real-life milk cooperative movement led by Verghese Kurien, is a powerful portrayal of collective action and its transformative potential. The post-screening debrief is where the magic happens. We delve deeper, dissecting the movie's enduring relevance. One scene that sparked debate: Dr. Rao's (representing Dr. Kurien) decision to leave the village after facing challenges. It left us confused. Dr. Shylendra's explanation, however, provided a profound lesson: sometimes, change is a seed you sow, not a fruit you reap. Bhola, the villager inspired by Dr. Rao, carries the torch forward, with Bindu by his side. Their success becomes a testament to Dr. Rao's groundwork. It's a powerful reminder that lasting impact often lies in empowering communities, not imposing solutions. Manthan is more than a movie; it's a cornerstone of the IRMA spirit. It teaches us humility, the importance of understanding rural realities, and the power of collective action. It's a lesson I'll carry with me throughout my IRMA journey and beyond. #IRMA #Manthan #RuralDevelopment #CollectiveAction #Legacy #RuralManagement
