Wahid daThanks for sharing the details on the work of Chandan Gogoi and Prasanta Bordoloi We are glad to know about the DY365 telecast anchored by Mrinal TalukdarThe most valuable resource on earth is not oil, gold, water or land. Instead, our capacity for expanding human knowledge is our greatest resource . Mr. Uddhab Bharali and Jadav Payeng showed that we can overcomescarcity and adversity through the application of innovation. While most of us sit back, putting our heads in sand, un-rustled by the stirrings of our conscience, there are few who choose to rally together. Let's continue to highlight their work and achievements , the more examples we bring forth, the more we abound in .ThanksAnkur

This would confront you with the grim situation of erosion and flood prevailing in Assam. It also confirms that the representatives from Assam in the Lok Shabha are not effective. A few more years, they will be still discussing and there will be no Majuli to discuss about. As far back as in June 2004 Lok Sabha debated over Erosion control. But it seems nothing materialised. Flood and erosion are still annual recurring events. 1.

Big dams may bring catastrophe to NE (http://www.assamtribune.com/scripts/detailsnew.asp?id=jul1015/state053 )The seminar organised in early July was chaired by DPC president Anuj Kalita. Chandan Gogoi of Sadiya, who along with other villagers, successfully controlled the erosion caused by the Kundil river at Sadiya by using local technology, also shared his experiences in the seminar. He showed a documentary on his work. Earlier, DPC secretary Manoj Dutta delivered the keynote address. So the big question is: if they can do it in Sadiya why are they not able to implement it in Majuli? 4. Our Forest man Padmashri Jadav Payeng has with his Molai Forest proved it. Despite the flood and erosion his forest still exists and still growing. This is a living example demanding a new approach - use nature against nature. The Dutch are doing the same to protect the beach and the shores from the sea they have reverted to a “low-tech” solution offered by Mother Nature which is simple to implement, less expensive and much more effective than high-tech solutions. It is the use of maram grass which is a strong plant that is well able to withstand wind and salt. The Molai forest - Watch, Forest Man, to know about Jadav Payeng and take inspiration from his lifelong love for nature and wildlife. The link includes a short film http://indiasendangered.com/watch-forest-man-a-short-film-on-the-man-who-made-a-forest/ Based on his own knowledge and experience of Jadav Payeng, Prashanta Bordoloi, former director of The North Eastern Regional Institute of Water and Land Management (NERIWALM) has proposed a new approach on the issue of "Erosion Management in alluvia river with special reference to the Brahmaputra - a novel pro-active sound eco-friendly economical approach" and presented his idea to the PMO. Prashanta has already received a reaction to his proposal. The technical wing of the Union Ministry of water Resources Ministry requested the full concept paper from him. To outline his idea he has in his Face Book (https://www.facebook.com/prashanta.bordoloi) presented a short filmhttp://tinyurl.com/qjxdznu. Prashanta has also successfully implemented erosion protection in Jhanjimukh. It is a small beginning. Today the people of Jhanjimukh sleeps in peace with the main course of the Brahmaputra adrift 1.5 km towards the middle of Brahmaputra. In their approach they are now trying all locally available grass, reeds and shrubs that thrives riverrine ecology - a sort of riverrine mangrove. 5.
