Congratulations to you, Vedprakash. My good wishes to all: you to the villagers to folks who will develop the ideas, infrastructure for the tourism to the things plants, rocks hills, water bodies, and animals/birds that will be protected and to the tribals and villagers' intellectual property rights that need protection.
Sounds like the govt of Maharashtra is at least moving in the correct direction... is this a central govt idea? world bank, WWF or some other international agency directives? or did the Maharashtra govt come with this idea and funded it ? My hats off to the local govt if their bureaucrats thought of this and funded the position and office... Regardless... good wishes that you succeed , and your office flourish... and that the villagers lot in life improves ...
