Dear Mr.Vishnu Sankar, We have seen your comments made on 'TCPL Component of TBGP project'. Necessary actions are being taken to implement the TCPL Component in better manner at our level. Thanks for your observation made on the TBGP project. With regards, V.Irulandi, I.F.S., APCCF, Social Forestry and Extension, CDM & Project Director, TCPL, Tamilnadu Biodiversity Conservation and Greening Project, Tamilnadu, India.

Dear Vishnu Sankar, .....Very interesting to go through your blog. Trees are money spinners to the farmers at present.It is only the right type of tree species for the right place and silvicultural packages can do so. (Click: Money Spinning Trees) Contact me with full details on soil, rainfall, water source, resource availability etc., and i could suggest trees that could spin money in these areas. Thank you, From, K.Suresh, Prof & Head, Dept. of Agroforestry, Forest College & Research Institute, Mettupalayam 641 003, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, India.

Dear Mr.Sankar, I have seen your message on energy plantation and thanks for the promotional efforts. (For more info: Click 1 and Click 2.) To add to your view,I wish to inform that Forest college has already designed contract farming models exclusively for dendrobiomass based power generation. These modes are now successfully implemented through Auromira energy company now slowly. With kind regards, Dr. K. T. Parthiban, Ph. D., Associate Professor (Forestry), Forest College and Research Institute, Mettupalayam 641 003, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, India.
