We have slightly modified the name of the newsletter from ‘India ka Idea’ to ‘India’s Idea’. In this issue, we have an article on Jadav Molai Payeng—the Forest Man of India, who had achieved sensational success in the initiative towards afforestation. Incredibly, Jaday Molai Payeng single-handedly built a sprawling, lush-green, and dense forest spread over an expanse of 1,360 acres or 550 hectares in 34 years, which is now habitat to Bengal tigers, elephants, deer, rhinoceros, birds and many other animals. This issue also features an interview with Dr Arun Jamkar – one of the founder members of i4c, who was till recently the Vice Chancellor of Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS). In the interview, he tells us about how the idea of founding i4c was conceived, i4c’s mission, i4c’s modes of identifying innovative ideas, the way i4c assists the identified innovators and i4c’s major Dr. Abhay Jere achievements thus far. You can also read an interview with innovator Mahesh Rathi – who has built Convenor, i4c solar-powered ice-cream cart, as well as solar-power driven cold storages.
