SAHYADRI DEVRAI MHASKEWADI, AHMEDNAGAR

Description:

When we saw the location in Mhskewadi, It wasn't the one it used to be. Local villagers told us that growing crops and planting trees there is difficult. They even challenged us that we should not waste our time there and we won't be able to grow any trees there. So we took the challenge. And planted more than 9000 trees to date.
