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.

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...

ZoomVin - Creating Environmental Niche and Photography

Recently we created ZoomVin website: What we do in this site is - we create environmental awareness. How do we do that - We create a real world environmental niche for birds and butterflies by planting trees and flowering plants. Also by properly placing bird feeders and baths we attract birds. They are fun to watch and we capture them in our camera. Through zoomvin we want to share the world these beautiful pictures in the form of digital media. Birds:   Butterflies: Roses and Flowers: Nature: See and enjoy these books (pictures). You can also create your own environment and attract them and capture those wonderful moments. These are small environments where these many birds visits. We have a created a bigger niche at EA FARMS  and lots of different birds visit. It is also a sustainable land development project.

Environmental Awareness Catching up in Tamil Nadu

Chennai Mayor has implemented a law to keep Chennai Environmentally clean. Fines have been assigned for each offense: Spitting, Garbage throwing, Animal Waste, Public Urination & Defecating etc. This has to be implemented strictly all over the country, so that one day India will become Clean & more Beautiful. As an Environmental Scientist from India, I always dreamed about this Clean & Environmentally Friendly India. One drawback is the poverty that India faces. Poor people should also have access to Proper Garbage Disposal and Proper Toilet Facilities. With India's growth (Great Dr. Abdul Kalam's dream is coming true. Now at least in Cricket - India has become a financial super power and even country such as Australia say that) and status improving, I think India can achieve this. Government should provide the necessary for the poor (Fundamental amenities, Education, Awareness & Training) without any hindrance, not only the city will be clean & En...
