The First Change...!

The pix above are mostly how Kutch looked like when i first came in 1989.......


AND

This is how Kutch is looking now...ok, not entirely, but we had the most incredible rainfall last year! Normally, every 3rd year in Kutch is a drought year but last year broke that rule.

A recent study done by a visiting Japanese student showed that the amount of rainfall had increased over the last 10 years although the number of days it had rained had decreased.....

What would that mean to the ecology, to the local agricultural patterns?

Sahjeevan is one of the NGOs that's been working with some of these questions since the last 15 years or more.
