The tree symbolises the interconnection and metaphorical co-dependency of all aspects of life. It endeavours to convey that we do not exist for our own narrow objectives, but are part of the integrated ecosystem. We will make our own journey of life more meaningful if our way of living reflects a larger purpose. Management of natural resources is essential to achieve sustainable growth. The cover page shows a photograph of a team developing a gully plug as part of the natural resource management project. 412 structures to conserve soil and water are being built at Atul village to create a conducive ecosystem that will prevent soil erosion, increase water conservation and enhance green cover. The project is being implemented in collaboration with BAIF Institute for Sustainable Livelihoods and Development.
