A few years ago, actor Madhavan came across a barren land in Palani, Tamil Nadu and decided to bring it back to life.
Along with his brother Subayogan, he had planted non-hybrid variety of coconut and worked tirelessly using modern, organic and ancient indigenous methods of agriculture on this farmland and it has brought in the desired results.
Today, the trees have produced coconuts and the land has been restored to its healthy and productive state.
Talking about the initiative, Madhavan says, “It has been one of the most satisfying and rewarding experiences of our lives. It was wonderful to see the land rejuvenated. From preparing the land with the right mulch to putting the right fish in the well, every bit of learning has been priceless and so worth it. We will be replicating this in other locations around India and the world.”
On his work front, he is currently working on multiple projects including Maara.
