Yamuna has many aspects of her being. In sharp contrast to its widespread public image of being a river contaminated with pollutants, it nurtures vegetable farming on its banks.

Gaon Connection offers a pictorial tribute to these farmers in a photo essay.

Agro-photovoltaic projects are being offered as a solution to the growing resistance against solar energy projects that require large tracts of land and often lead to conflicts with the local communities. These projects allow traditional livelihoods, such as grazing, and generation of electricity, to co-exist on the same piece of land.

Paddy and other grains are stored in them soon after harvesting. But, these silos are slowly vanishing.
