As a result, farmers lose hard-earned income, and nearly 40% of our produce goes to waste.

But one woman saw what others ignored. Chemical engineer Nidhi Pant found a way to turn this “ugly” produce into a powerful source of income for farmers using the sun.

Scroll down to see how solar dryers and smart innovation are transforming lives, one farm at a time. >>

They came to Kodaikanal with a backpack. And stayed to bring a forest back to life.

In 1985, two young travellers from the UK arrived in the Palani Hills for a quick mountain break.

But what they found wasn’t just beauty; it was a forest under threat.

From shrinking sholas to vanishing grasslands, the Western Ghats were silently collapsing.

And instead of leaving, Bob and Tanya chose to stay… for over 30 years, rebuilding forests.

Scroll down to uncover the untold story of how two outsiders became the soulkeepers of India’s sky islands. >>
