Nirmal Singh Lotus Green Discusses Economics of Swachh Bharat And Its Promise In The Long Run


India has a knack for setting examples when a rock-bottom situation is waiting just around the corner. When violence was at its peak all over the world, India was getting independence through civil obedience and non-violence under the able guidance of Mahatma Gandhi. Those non-violent movements that paved the way for many such examples around the world in the years that followed were not seen as a result-oriented idea and were bound to fail, according to the ‘experts’ of the civilized society.

Nirmal Singh Lotus Green pointed out that a similar opposing force was felt by Narendra Modi when he proposed the idea of a completely clean India by 2019. Although India was topping every list for open defecation in the world, the opposition forces still managed to find something worth opposing in the scheme. But as they say, things that are bound to happen, happen. The movement saw a rising popularity in the country with a few hiccups caused by the forces acting in the opposite direction.

Human civilization, for a million years, has been indulging itself in open defecation. It is still the way of life for many people in the country – they cannot look beyond it, don’t want to look beyond it and in some cases, they do not have any option. 

Nirmal Singh Lotus Green mentioned that Governments have come and gone, but the issue still remained on the surface of every agenda. It was in 2014 that the picture started to change for good when PM Modi decided to do something about the 61% population of the country that didn’t have any sanitation facility.


The idea was noble but needed a thorough and highly intensive intervention from both, the government and authorities that work at the ground level. With the involvement of all sections of society, it wouldn’t be wrong to say the Modi’s Swachh Bharat Abhiyan caught the attention of the people like Gandhi’s satyagraha did when it did. - Nirmal Singh Lotus Green

Gulshan Grover finally reveals about how he shot the romantic scenes of Boom with Katrina Kaif. While the latter has a great career going right now, she sure didn’t have a great one in the beginning. Her debut film, Boom, which starred Amitabh Bachchan and Gulshan Grover, was a huge failure at the box office. But it’s remembered for the intimate scenes between Gulshan Grover and Katrina Kaif. According to sources at Nirmal Singh Lotus Green , Gulshan shared some anecdotes while shooting the romantic scene with the actress. Sources revealed that Gulshan said that the scenes between Katrina and him would get really awkward with Amitabh Bachchan would also be in the frame. Gulshan wanted to get the scene right so he and Katrina practiced it many times before they gave the shot." Any intimate shot that is done in front of audience or with someone in the frame really gets a little tough for the audience. They need to build in the similar kind of ambience for the scene, but do

Failing Economy Forcing 70% Of Indian Farmers To Spend More Than They Earn

Nirmal Singh Lotus Green recently wrote an article in which he highlighted how 70% of more than 90 million farming families are spending way more than they actually earn in a month. Debt is one of the primary reasons of more than half of all suicides around the country if the recent studies and research are to be believed. Since 2012, the number of loans that farmers have taken to invest in their farming lands has come down to half and during the same period, additional loans to meet financial and health issues by the farmers have doubled. 65 million farmers who have land holdings of one hectare are spending more than they earn according to the reports of NSSO. And farmers who own more than 10 hectares of land are maintaining a healthy surplus every month. The condition down south is the worst – states like Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu have the highest debt numbers - 93%, and 82% respectively. Among the reasons for farmer suicides in India, indebtedness is pr
