&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Jaipur: &lt;/em&gt;In an atmosphere where every morning, our newspapers greet us with stories of girls being tormented, raped, killed or treated like a doormat in one way or another, trust India&#039;s &amp;quot;village republics&amp;quot; to bring in some good news from time to time.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
One such village in southern Rajasthan&#039;s Rajsamand district is quietly practicing its own, homegrown brand of Eco-feminism and achieving spectacular results.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
For the last several years, Piplantri village panchayat has been saving girl children and increasing the green cover in and around it at the same time.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Here, villagers plant 111 trees every time a girl is born and the community ensures these trees survive, attaining fruition as the girls grow up.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Over the last six years, people here have managed to plant over a quarter million trees on the village&#039;s grazing commons- inlcuding neem, sheesham, mango, Amla among others.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
On an average 60 girls are born here every year, according to the village&#039;s former sarpanch Shyam Sundar Paliwal, who was instrumental in starting this initiative in the memory of his daughter Kiran, who died a few years ago.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In about half these cases, parents are reluctant to accept the girl children, he says.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Such families are identified by a village committee comprising the village school principal along with panchayat and Anganwadi members.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Rs. 21,000 is collected from the village residents and Rs.10,000 from the girl&#039;s father and this sum of Rs. 31,000 is made into a fixed deposit for the girl, with a maturity period of 20 years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
But here&#039;s the best part.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;We make these parents sign an affidavit promising that they would not marry her off before the legal age, send her to school regularly and take care of the trees planted in her name,&amp;quot; says Mr. Paliwal.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
People also plant 11 trees whenever a family member dies.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
But this village of 8,000 did not just stop at planting trees and greening their commons. To prevent these trees from being infested with termite, the residents planted over two and a half million Aloevera plants around them. Now these trees, especially the Aloevera, are a source of livelihood for several residents.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Gradually, we realized that aloevera could be processed and marketed in a variety of ways. So we invited some experts and asked them to train our women. Now residents make and market aloevera products like juice, gel, pickle etc,&amp;quot; he says.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The village panchayat, which has a studio-recorded anthem and a website of its own, has completely banned alcohol, open grazing of animals and cutting of trees. Villagers claim there has not been any police case here for the last 7-8 years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Mr. Paliwal recalls the visit of social activist Anna Hazare, who was very happy with the progress made by the village, he says.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;But Rajasthan is quite backward in terms of village development compared to panchayats in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra etc. So we need to work hard towards creating more and more empowered villages,&amp;quot; says the former sarpanch, hoping the government listens to him. 
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Jaipur: &lt;/em&gt;In an atmosphere where every morning, our newspapers greet us with stories of girls being tormented, raped, killed or treated like a doormat in one way or another, trust India&#039;s &amp;quot;village republics&amp;quot; to bring in some good news from time to time.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
One such village in southern Rajasthan&#039;s Rajsamand district is quietly practicing its own, homegrown brand of Eco-feminism and achieving spectacular results.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
For the last several years, Piplantri village panchayat has been saving girl children and increasing the green cover in and around it at the same time.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Here, villagers plant 111 trees every time a girl is born and the community ensures these trees survive, attaining fruition as the girls grow up.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Over the last six years, people here have managed to plant over a quarter million trees on the village&#039;s grazing commons- inlcuding neem, sheesham, mango, Amla among others.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
On an average 60 girls are born here every year, according to the village&#039;s former sarpanch Shyam Sundar Paliwal, who was instrumental in starting this initiative in the memory of his daughter Kiran, who died a few years ago.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In about half these cases, parents are reluctant to accept the girl children, he says.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Such families are identified by a village committee comprising the village school principal along with panchayat and Anganwadi members.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Rs. 21,000 is collected from the village residents and Rs.10,000 from the girl&#039;s father and this sum of Rs. 31,000 is made into a fixed deposit for the girl, with a maturity period of 20 years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
But here&#039;s the best part.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;We make these parents sign an affidavit promising that they would not marry her off before the legal age, send her to school regularly and take care of the trees planted in her name,&amp;quot; says Mr. Paliwal.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
People also plant 11 trees whenever a family member dies.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
But this village of 8,000 did not just stop at planting trees and greening their commons. To prevent these trees from being infested with termite, the residents planted over two and a half million Aloevera plants around them. Now these trees, especially the Aloevera, are a source of livelihood for several residents.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Gradually, we realized that aloevera could be processed and marketed in a variety of ways. So we invited some experts and asked them to train our women. Now residents make and market aloevera products like juice, gel, pickle etc,&amp;quot; he says.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The village panchayat, which has a studio-recorded anthem and a website of its own, has completely banned alcohol, open grazing of animals and cutting of trees. Villagers claim there has not been any police case here for the last 7-8 years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Mr. Paliwal recalls the visit of social activist Anna Hazare, who was very happy with the progress made by the village, he says.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;But Rajasthan is quite backward in terms of village development compared to panchayats in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra etc. So we need to work hard towards creating more and more empowered villages,&amp;quot; says the former sarpanch, hoping the government listens to him. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Jaipur: &lt;/em&gt;In an atmosphere where every morning, our newspapers greet us with stories of girls being tormented, raped, killed or treated like a doormat in one way or another, trust India&#039;s &amp;quot;village republics&amp;quot; to bring in some good news from time to time.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
One such village in southern Rajasthan&#039;s Rajsamand district is quietly practicing its own, homegrown brand of Eco-feminism and achieving spectacular results.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
For the last several years, Piplantri village panchayat has been saving girl children and increasing the green cover in and around it at the same time.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Here, villagers plant 111 trees every time a girl is born and the community ensures these trees survive, attaining fruition as the girls grow up.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Over the last six years, people here have managed to plant over a quarter million trees on the village&#039;s grazing commons- inlcuding neem, sheesham, mango, Amla among others.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
On an average 60 girls are born here every year, according to the village&#039;s former sarpanch Shyam Sundar Paliwal, who was instrumental in starting this initiative in the memory of his daughter Kiran, who died a few years ago.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In about half these cases, parents are reluctant to accept the girl children, he says.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Such families are identified by a village committee comprising the village school principal along with panchayat and Anganwadi members.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Rs. 21,000 is collected from the village residents and Rs.10,000 from the girl&#039;s father and this sum of Rs. 31,000 is made into a fixed deposit for the girl, with a maturity period of 20 years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
But here&#039;s the best part.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;We make these parents sign an affidavit promising that they would not marry her off before the legal age, send her to school regularly and take care of the trees planted in her name,&amp;quot; says Mr. Paliwal.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
People also plant 11 trees whenever a family member dies.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
But this village of 8,000 did not just stop at planting trees and greening their commons. To prevent these trees from being infested with termite, the residents planted over two and a half million Aloevera plants around them. Now these trees, especially the Aloevera, are a source of livelihood for several residents.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Gradually, we realized that aloevera could be processed and marketed in a variety of ways. So we invited some experts and asked them to train our women. Now residents make and market aloevera products like juice, gel, pickle etc,&amp;quot; he says.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The village panchayat, which has a studio-recorded anthem and a website of its own, has completely banned alcohol, open grazing of animals and cutting of trees. Villagers claim there has not been any police case here for the last 7-8 years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Mr. Paliwal recalls the visit of social activist Anna Hazare, who was very happy with the progress made by the village, he says.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;But Rajasthan is quite backward in terms of village development compared to panchayats in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra etc. So we need to work hard towards creating more and more empowered villages,&amp;quot; says the former sarpanch, hoping the government listens to him. 
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Jaipur: &lt;/em&gt;In an atmosphere where every morning, our newspapers greet us with stories of girls being tormented, raped, killed or treated like a doormat in one way or another, trust India&#039;s &amp;quot;village republics&amp;quot; to bring in some good news from time to time.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
One such village in southern Rajasthan&#039;s Rajsamand district is quietly practicing its own, homegrown brand of Eco-feminism and achieving spectacular results.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
For the last several years, Piplantri village panchayat has been saving girl children and increasing the green cover in and around it at the same time.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Here, villagers plant 111 trees every time a girl is born and the community ensures these trees survive, attaining fruition as the girls grow up.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Over the last six years, people here have managed to plant over a quarter million trees on the village&#039;s grazing commons- inlcuding neem, sheesham, mango, Amla among others.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
On an average 60 girls are born here every year, according to the village&#039;s former sarpanch Shyam Sundar Paliwal, who was instrumental in starting this initiative in the memory of his daughter Kiran, who died a few years ago.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In about half these cases, parents are reluctant to accept the girl children, he says.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Such families are identified by a village committee comprising the village school principal along with panchayat and Anganwadi members.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Rs. 21,000 is collected from the village residents and Rs.10,000 from the girl&#039;s father and this sum of Rs. 31,000 is made into a fixed deposit for the girl, with a maturity period of 20 years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
But here&#039;s the best part.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;We make these parents sign an affidavit promising that they would not marry her off before the legal age, send her to school regularly and take care of the trees planted in her name,&amp;quot; says Mr. Paliwal.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
People also plant 11 trees whenever a family member dies.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
But this village of 8,000 did not just stop at planting trees and greening their commons. To prevent these trees from being infested with termite, the residents planted over two and a half million Aloevera plants around them. Now these trees, especially the Aloevera, are a source of livelihood for several residents.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Gradually, we realized that aloevera could be processed and marketed in a variety of ways. So we invited some experts and asked them to train our women. Now residents make and market aloevera products like juice, gel, pickle etc,&amp;quot; he says.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The village panchayat, which has a studio-recorded anthem and a website of its own, has completely banned alcohol, open grazing of animals and cutting of trees. Villagers claim there has not been any police case here for the last 7-8 years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Mr. Paliwal recalls the visit of social activist Anna Hazare, who was very happy with the progress made by the village, he says.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;But Rajasthan is quite backward in terms of village development compared to panchayats in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra etc. So we need to work hard towards creating more and more empowered villages,&amp;quot; says the former sarpanch, hoping the government listens to him. 
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Jaipur: &lt;/em&gt;In an atmosphere where every morning, our newspapers greet us with stories of girls being tormented, raped, killed or treated like a doormat in one way or another, trust India&#039;s &amp;quot;village republics&amp;quot; to bring in some good news from time to time.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
One such village in southern Rajasthan&#039;s Rajsamand district is quietly practicing its own, homegrown brand of Eco-feminism and achieving spectacular results.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
For the last several years, Piplantri village panchayat has been saving girl children and increasing the green cover in and around it at the same time.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Here, villagers plant 111 trees every time a girl is born and the community ensures these trees survive, attaining fruition as the girls grow up.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Over the last six years, people here have managed to plant over a quarter million trees on the village&#039;s grazing commons- inlcuding neem, sheesham, mango, Amla among others.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
On an average 60 girls are born here every year, according to the village&#039;s former sarpanch Shyam Sundar Paliwal, who was instrumental in starting this initiative in the memory of his daughter Kiran, who died a few years ago.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In about half these cases, parents are reluctant to accept the girl children, he says.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Such families are identified by a village committee comprising the village school principal along with panchayat and Anganwadi members.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Rs. 21,000 is collected from the village residents and Rs.10,000 from the girl&#039;s father and this sum of Rs. 31,000 is made into a fixed deposit for the girl, with a maturity period of 20 years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
But here&#039;s the best part.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;We make these parents sign an affidavit promising that they would not marry her off before the legal age, send her to school regularly and take care of the trees planted in her name,&amp;quot; says Mr. Paliwal.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
People also plant 11 trees whenever a family member dies.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
But this village of 8,000 did not just stop at planting trees and greening their commons. To prevent these trees from being infested with termite, the residents planted over two and a half million Aloevera plants around them. Now these trees, especially the Aloevera, are a source of livelihood for several residents.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Gradually, we realized that aloevera could be processed and marketed in a variety of ways. So we invited some experts and asked them to train our women. Now residents make and market aloevera products like juice, gel, pickle etc,&amp;quot; he says.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The village panchayat, which has a studio-recorded anthem and a website of its own, has completely banned alcohol, open grazing of animals and cutting of trees. Villagers claim there has not been any police case here for the last 7-8 years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Mr. Paliwal recalls the visit of social activist Anna Hazare, who was very happy with the progress made by the village, he says.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;But Rajasthan is quite backward in terms of village development compared to panchayats in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra etc. So we need to work hard towards creating more and more empowered villages,&amp;quot; says the former sarpanch, hoping the government listens to him. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;

<em>Jaipur: </em>In an atmosphere where every morning, our newspapers greet us with stories of girls being tormented, raped, killed or treated like a doormat in one way or another, trust India's &quot;village republics&quot; to bring in some good news from time to time.

One such village in southern Rajasthan's Rajsamand district is quietly practicing its own, homegrown brand of Eco-feminism and achieving spectacular results.
</p>
<p align="justify">
For the last several years, Piplantri village panchayat has been saving girl children and increasing the green cover in and around it at the same time.

Here, villagers plant 111 trees every time a girl is born and the community ensures these trees survive, attaining fruition as the girls grow up.

Over the last six years, people here have managed to plant over a quarter million trees on the village's grazing commons- inlcuding neem, sheesham, mango, Amla among others.

On an average 60 girls are born here every year, according to the village's former sarpanch Shyam Sundar Paliwal, who was instrumental in starting this initiative in the memory of his daughter Kiran, who died a few years ago.

<em>Jaipur: </em>In an atmosphere where every morning, our newspapers greet us with stories of girls being tormented, raped, killed or treated like a doormat in one way or another, trust India's &quot;village republics&quot; to bring in some good news from time to time.
</p>
<p align="justify">
One such village in southern Rajasthan's Rajsamand district is quietly practicing its own, homegrown brand of Eco-feminism and achieving spectacular results.
</p>
<p align="justify">
For the last several years, Piplantri village panchayat has been saving girl children and increasing the green cover in and around it at the same time.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Here, villagers plant 111 trees every time a girl is born and the community ensures these trees survive, attaining fruition as the girls grow up.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Over the last six years, people here have managed to plant over a quarter million trees on the village's grazing commons- inlcuding neem, sheesham, mango, Amla among others.
</p>
<p align="justify">
On an average 60 girls are born here every year, according to the village's former sarpanch Shyam Sundar Paliwal, who was instrumental in starting this initiative in the memory of his daughter Kiran, who died a few years ago.
</p>
<p align="justify">
In about half these cases, parents are reluctant to accept the girl children, he says.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Such families are identified by a village committee comprising the village school principal along with panchayat and Anganwadi members.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Rs. 21,000 is collected from the village residents and Rs.10,000 from the girl's father and this sum of Rs. 31,000 is made into a fixed deposit for the girl, with a maturity period of 20 years.

A village that plants 111 trees for every girl born in Rajasthan-Mahim Pratap Singh

-The Hindu Jaipur: In an atmosphere where every morning, our newspapers greet us with stories of girls being tormented, raped, killed or treated like a doormat in one way or another, trust India's "village republics" to bring in some good news from time to time. One such village in southern Rajasthan's Rajsamand district is quietly practicing its own, homegrown brand of Eco-feminism and achieving spectacular results. For the last several years, Piplantri village panchayat has been saving girl children and increasing the green cover in and around it at the same time. Here, villagers plant 111 trees every time a girl is born and the community ensures these trees survive, attaining fruition as the girls grow up. Over the last six years, people here have managed to plant over a quarter million trees on the village's grazing commons- inlcuding neem, sheesham, mango, Amla among others. On an average 60 girls are born here every year, according to the village's former sarpanch Shyam Sundar Paliwal, who was instrumental in starting this initiative in the memory of his daughter Kiran, who died a few years ago. In about half these cases, parents are reluctant to accept the girl children, he says. Such families are identified by a village committee comprising the village school principal along with panchayat and Anganwadi members. Rs. 21,000 is collected from the village residents and Rs.10,000 from the girl's father and this sum of Rs. 31,000 is made into a fixed deposit for the girl, with a maturity period of 20 years. But here's the best part. "We make these parents sign an affidavit promising that they would not marry her off before the legal age, send her to school regularly and take care of the trees planted in her name," says Mr. Paliwal. People also plant 11 trees whenever a family member dies. But this village of 8,000 did not just stop at planting trees and greening their commons. To prevent these trees from being infested with termite, the residents planted over two and a half million Aloevera plants around them. Now these trees, especially the Aloevera, are a source of livelihood for several residents. "Gradually, we realized that aloevera could be processed and marketed in a variety of ways. So we invited some experts and asked them to train our women. Now residents make and market aloevera products like juice, gel, pickle etc," he says. The village panchayat, which has a studio-recorded anthem and a website of its own, has completely banned alcohol, open grazing of animals and cutting of trees. Villagers claim there has not been any police case here for the last 7-8 years. Mr. Paliwal recalls the visit of social activist Anna Hazare, who was very happy with the progress made by the village, he says. "But Rajasthan is quite backward in terms of village development compared to panchayats in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra etc. So we need to work hard towards creating more and more empowered villages," says the former sarpanch, hoping the government listens to him.   The Hindu, 11 April, 2013, http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/a-villa ge-that-plants-111-trees-for-every-girl-born-in-rajasthan/ article4606735.ece
