A farmer in Kanpur district, Uttar Pradesh, has successfully grown water chestnuts on land that was stripped of its top 5-6 feet of soil. Madan Kahar is now the talk of not just his village, but several other neighbouring villages.

Manmohan Singh works at a gurudwara in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, and spends a large part of his earnings in educating under-privileged children. His one such ‘classroom’ is under an open sky, next to the railway track where three college students teach children of daily wage labourers. All the expenses are borne by Manmohan and his wife Rajvinder Kaur.
