“Last week, PM of India has made strong commitments to combat climate change and very dynamic pathways are laid out to achieve the targets. Meanwhile, There already have been several excellent initiatives already undertaken by various departments, Government agencies and local governments across the country that address significant climate issues and contribute to its mitigation and resilience. The report has documented eighteen such good practices from Kerala which can be replicated by many such organisations or Governments and we hope that this will also be a valuable reference document for researchers and practitioners the world over.”

Nothing beats the smell and taste of fresh organic produce on your table. What if it is from your own kitchen garden?

The demand for pesticide-free homegrown vegetables is increasing all across the world. With so much ill-health and toxicity associated with chemical pesticides, growing our own organic food helps us eat fresh and safe fruits and vegetables devoid of chemical pesticides and be healthy. Let’s make a comeback and take a step closer to healthy organic life.

 So are you interested in growing your own vegetables?  Do you need help to start a kitchen /terrace garden? Do you need assistance in maintaining it?

Thanal has been working in the area of organic farming and green living for more than 2 decades. Thanal Mobile Agri Clinic is our unique venture with the support of PAN (India) to help and encourage starting a kitchen garden/ organic farming among the public.  Mobile Organic Agri Clinic unit is equipped with plant protection organic inputs, equipment, and trained staff who can provide all support services for a nominal fee. 

Democratic governance relies on building strong institution based mechanisms to make sure that the principles of equity, representation, and participation are the basis for all decisions. Building institutions of governance entails creating a clear set of rules for each level of government to minimize the risk of decisions that are or appear to be arbitrary, biased, or in other ways iniquitous or unjust. Such rulemaking starts with the vision of a nation of itself, its value systems and traditions, its particularities of social and economic relations, and its
internal need to ennoble itself in intent and in practice. However, once this vision is laid down, to translate it into a set of workable applied guidelines that govern the day to day functioning of a set of governance institutions is usually a process that continues over a period of time, constantly reforming, shaped by changing societies and the impact of technology.
