Cost Effective Solution to save Coconut trees during forth coming water scarcity months due to El Niño : Olla Irrigation - Ancient Wisdom for Modern Droughts. 🏺 Echoes of Ancient Clay pot Irrigation Long before the term olla entered agricultural vocabulary, ancient Tamil farmers practiced remarkably similar methods. In Sangam‑era Tamilakam, clay vessels called “ māṇ paṇai ” or “kulam paṇai” were used to store and seep water near tree roots - especially for coconut, banana, and areca palms.   These pots were often placed in earthen basins (thottam) lined with coir, husk, and leaf mulch, creating a natural moisture‑retention system. Inscriptions and temple garden records from regions like Pollachi, Thanjavur, and Madurai mention such paṇai neer vaḻi (pot‑water channels) as part of sustainable irrigation networks.  This continuity of wisdom - from ancient Tamil pot irrigation to modern olla systems -  shows how indigenous knowledge can guide regenerative farming in the...

Communication Tools Positives

Communication tools have become so important during lock down.
Messages reach at faster rate now than any other time from the past. These tools could be used for spreading negative news, but at the same time the tools could be used for faster communication and executing fruitful projects also. These tools should be positively used to immediately eradicate two evils from the face of  Mother Earth -

Poverty and Racism. 

One cannot believe that these exists even in 21st century and even after wonderful leaders sacrificed their precious lives for eradicating these evils.

Have written the following articles 5 years before on eradicating poverty and racism. 

2015 - Eradicate Poverty 


2014 - Ecojustice and No to Racism

But even now real change did not happen, These evils still persists in Mother Earth.

Along with this animal cruelty has also increased. As an avid elephant well wisher it is hard to believe that a pregnant elephant was given a pineapple with explosives in it, 

As much cruelty is seen in that incident more heartbreak comes when a human kneels on another human's neck and choke fellow human to death even when he was screaming for his breath. Where did humane characteristics go?

We cannot change the past. But moving forward changes could be made.

Using communication tools spread, educate and guide future generations to get rid of these two evils from the face of
Earth. Then we can proudly say we are in the 21st century, 
until then whatever progress we make as humans it is still at zero point.

It should start from every individual especially the children (future generations)  and spread the love and equality to the co-inhabitants of mother Earth.

Education is the key tool to eradicate both poverty and racism. 

Using communication tools such as whatsapp and google blogspot we implemented several useful projects with ease. 

In a school whatsapp group, a classmate who is a doctor requested to supply 20 beds to a childcare ward. Our group had a schoolmate who is manufacturing eco-friendly mattress and immediately we all pitched in for required amount of beds. Those beds were supplied within couple of days. This project was completed with such efficiency and on time, because of these communication tools.

These type of activities eradicate poverty and racism was never involved in any step of this wonderful activity.

In a college whatsapp group, we joined hands and selected a small village and to better it through education, we collected funds and disturbed it for current young college students to use towards their education. It motivated those young future generations to do good when they shine. This is how societies are built. 

These type of activities eradicate poverty and racism was never involved in any step of this wonderful activity.

In social whatsapp group we joined hands to clean up main water body of the town. It was used as garbage disposal area that included broken alcohol bottles. After several weeks of communication, team work, hard work the pond became so clean and usable. 

This is how you build clean societies. When young people are guided properly they take up a notch further than what we expect.
We have to positively believe in them and guide them properly and I am sure we are almost there to eradicate these evils. 

These type of activities eradicate poverty and racism was never involved in any step of this wonderful activity.

In another social whatsapp group we communicate, contribute and help a great soul who is serving food for underprivileged poor orphaned old age people daily for the past several years. 



His family does the hard work, cook great food and distribute to these old people who survive only by themselves. We salute him for doing this for 365 days of the year, rain or shine. 

This type of activities eradicate poverty and racism was never involved in any step of this wonderful activity.

Now we are planning to join hands of these people involved in all the projects to plant and grow trees as much as we can.
I am sure when we join hands we will be able to execute the project successfully with these communication tools. Dr. Kalam and Dr. Nammalvar had dreamt of such environment and great society where we live harmoniously with our co-inhabitants. The trees mentioned by Dr. Nammalvar Ayya - such as neem, mango, papaya, curry leaves, amla, coconut, lemon, bananas, jackfruit and cattle feed trees to support cattle growth will eradicate poverty and provide valuable nutritional requirement for any person. When poverty is eradicated  other evils also will automatically vanish.

A small tree planted today on this World Environment Day may be the key to become a forest in the future.




Dear sisters and brothers, eradicate greed and use these communication tools wisely and let us grow as a wonderful human society that takes care of other Earth's inhabitants also, such as trees and animals.

We also communicated through another whatsapp group and gave webinars that contributed towards enriching the faculty members who are really key to instill VALUES into the young minds during the lock down. Thorough our website we have trained many people in IT field especially in databases with easy steps.
It is also free and anyone with desire to learn databases from anywhere can try educating themselves following these simple steps and can enhance their values in IT field. 

Relentlessly we will contribute by sharing our knowledge, bettering the environment and  our societies, communities  for the future generations. That way these two words - Poverty and Racism will be words of past history.

Together let us wipe out poverty, racism and injustice to other species from the face of our beloved Mother Earth. Let us take this resolution, pledge on this precious World Environment Day.

Greening the Environment

As deforestation is occurring in the name of development especially road expansions all over World,  it is very important to plant more and more trees to green the environment. Trees are very important for the environment.  They not only provide important oxygen but also are very important for rainfall for the areas they are in, apart from so many other benefits. Every one knows it is one of the important tool to fight the human induced climate change as it acts as great carbon sink. In India, Great Dr. Kalam envisioned the importance of trees, persuaded many to plant as many trees as one can. Recently, I had privilege to communicate with many volunteers, who want to plant as many trees as they can to reap the benefits, especially by the future generations. These great volunteers provide their valuable time and hard work. We have to salute each and every one for them for their hard work.
