“The world is going through a polycrisis. We really need effective solutions to mitigate the problem of climate change. There is much coming out of India right now that gives us hope in the fight against climate change. DA has been very much in this fight.”

"Regarding the experience of 2 days of  Taragram yatra,  It was a one of its kind learning experience with all the participants and the members working towards the same agenda. The first hand experience about the on-ground realities and workings regarding the waste collection and management was extremely elaborating and educating and gave us a new dimension to our research project. Really appreciate the DA team's efforts to make all this a success."

"This was the first time I attend the yatra and found it to be informative and a learning experience. , I learnt the basic of setting up enterprises in a rural set up and how the community led action helps in creating more jobs I also participated in the comic play in Bhatewara village along with women from the community? Those women were with women, who have aspiration to become an empowered individual entrepreneur, a full time businesswoman… and able to analyse what is lacking and what is needed to reach that stage.  I also got an opportunity to interact with fellow Yatris and learnt about their work!!!!!"

"It is incredible to experience the reality of the green economy, climate change, inclusive growth and sustainability on the ground instead of just reading in the research paper. I am so grateful to DA for inviting me as one of the Yatri in TGY 2022, Bundelkhand. During the three days event, we were exposed to their participatory information, and knowledge development models built for natural resources management and community resilience, such as the Locally Owned Community Operated (LOCO) Model and Check Dams. I discussed the idea and implementation of happiness in economies and what we owe to society. with Stuart Worsely and I thank him for his valuable insights on the topic."

"Following the green agenda, on which we have had very fruitful discussions at the trialogue2047, will prove to be immensely beneficial for every one of us, from governments and corporate organisations to civil society and individuals. There are many positives that we can take away from the conference."
