Dear Group Members,

I am visiting to Mahanadi canal region , Aaarang, Chhattisgarh regularly due
to its unique diversity. This region is rich in Butea monoperma population. Now
authorities have planted Jatropha along with canal. I am observing its growth
and performance even more than the authorities. During recent visit I found that
natives are destroying Jatropha as it is encroaching their fields.

Without care, performance of Jatropha is very poor.

Hence in the name of Jatropha, simply authorities are wasting public's hard
earnings.
