Tribute To Those Toiling Tough

This blog is a tribute to those farmers who toil to feed empty stomaches, but are fed up and frustrated with a system which mocks at their toils.

Open Letter to the CM: Please Give Us More Time To Reply To The Draft Climate Change Action Plan

Dear Navin Pattanaikji
Honourable Chief Minister of Orissa


Warm Regards!

Whereas the Civil Society agrees to the urgent need of a Climate Change Action Plan for a very vulnerable state like Orissa, and appreciates your concerns for having such a plan very quickly, still the Civil Society is of the firm opinion that the time given for seeking suggestion on the Draft Climate Change Action Plan, from June 05 to June 25, is just too short for expecting quality and thorough inputs, comments or suggestions.  Therefore, we strongly request the Government of Orissa to extend the deadline for submission of reviews and suggestion by at least a month more to make the Climate Change Action Plan – what could possibly be a very important policy document - vibrant, acceptable and worthy.
