This is the first village committee to get user rights to forest land in Gujarat. This village developed the teak forest right from scratch in 1995 worth millions of rupees. FORD & NORAD has initially funded the program. I don't mind to say that I toiled my sweat and blood to get their forest rights in those days from Forest Department. These hills were completely barren before the program.
