Pankaj ji,

 

I know some of the organizations who have opposed the district administration's promotion of Jatropha in the Nuapada area. If you want any contact which might help you in your visit then kindly let me know. I would also like to request you to kindly take up this matter with the district administration during your next visit if possible.

 

Thanks,

 

Tushar

Thanks Tushar for this valuable information. Few months back I was in
Patora region of Nuapada district where Famous Jogeshwar temple is
situated.

I have seen scene of Jatropha promotion by the authorities. I
interacted with natives. Many cases of Jatropha poisoning happened in
border region. As result now many natives have started uprooting
Jatropha. Senior natives are already aware of its harmful effects. In
border I visited to Kansinghi village where Gond woman destroyed
Jatropha and now educating others to uproot it. I have posted the
pictures of Kansinghi in previous mail.
