[WSMDiscuss] [altforumpune] BJP's vision of swaraj and ecological sustainability: dangerous doublespeak?

[Ajay Phatak]

Thanks Ashish for sharing.  How can we as a group of NGOs get the
government to do what it is saying (at least).  Are there concrete ways to
influence the govt to take steps in the right direction to strengthen the
rural & local economy ?

Regards,

Ajay
