1 Community is everything

Lawyers for drawing sound deeds, local help for fixing water and electricity problems, agricultural consultants like Grim Sanjay for farm expertise, and trustworthy employees like Maruti and Vandana proved that a community builds farmland. Together, they dug, planted, and sowed with abandon, while dealing collectively with everyday hurdles. At the same time, knowing their neighbours gave Dwarkadas and her farming partner Suzann Homan an understanding of how they too were part of the larger village community.
