From Frustration to Fortune: A Journey to Sustainable Success with Cauvery Calling

Mohanakrishnan was not happy. He had just sold 17-year-old teak trees for a mere Rs. 7 lakhs, only to discover the buyer resold them for a whopping Rs. 23 lakhs! This realization sparked a fire in him - a fire to learn, grow, and achieve true financial security through tree-based agriculture.

His journey led him to Cauvery Calling, an Isha initiative to revive Cauvery River through large-scale tree planting. Mohanakrishnan embraced their guidance and transformed his 22-acre plot in Thenkadapanthangal village into a thriving tree farm.

A Smarter Approach to Farming

Gone are the days of backbreaking labor and the struggle to find workers. Tree farming offers a refreshing alternative. Mohanakrishnan's land boasts a diverse mix of timber trees like Mahogany, Kino, and Malabar Neem, strategically planted to maximize growth and minimize shade. Intercropping with pepper and aloe vera is his next venture, adding another layer of income.

Reaping the Rewards of Patience

The initial investment may seem high, but the long-term benefits are undeniable. Mohanakrishnan has already seen success with the selective harvest of his Malabar Neem trees. Drip irrigation ensures efficient water usage, while cow dung and goat droppings provide natural, cost-effective fertilizer. With 6,000 trees remaining, Mohanakrishnan anticipates a future windfall, potentially reaching a staggering Rs. 6 crores!

More Than Just Trees

Cauvery Calling is not just about enabling the planting of trees. Its expertise and support have been instrumental in empowering individuals like Mohanakrishnan and crafting his success story. Mohanakrishnan's journey is a beacon of hope, inspiring others to embrace sustainable practices and secure a brighter future.

“The Isha team is helping me a lot. Thank you, Isha.” - Mohanakrishnan
