A brief write-up follows, the following pictures. Please don't miss it.
Does that mean we can't create new fertile agricultural lands in the uninhabited remote arid unfertile areas of our country? We have to start thinking seriously about this game-changing idea, if we want to be self sufficient in vegetables, fruits & food grains.Why depend on imports for every minor requirement? We want foreign multinationals to provide us with bottles of drinking water also. Is so much dependency on others, for even the most basic things of life, a commendable quality?? Let's think about it seriously.
While touring across the Nation, I have seen miles & miles of Banjar arid lands & waterless deserts with no end in sight. There are no takers for these unfertile real estates of government.
The amount of kitchen wastes, human & animal wastes, garden & farm wastes that we ignorantly waste in our country in unusually massive scale is pathetic.These precious organic wastes could be very successfully utilised for making our arid lands, real fertile. We just have to seggregate the wastes in a disciplined, organised way everyday, without making a messy mixture of all kinds of domestic wastes.
Even by diverting the routes of water rich rivers like Ganga, Brahmaputra etc, into the waterless deserts of our country, we could make them highly fertile & fit for cultivation.
Ganganagar in Rajasthan that was once a water starving desert, is a lush green, fertile area now. This has been made possible only by diverting the water route from Bhakhra Nangal Dam of Punjab into this unfertile region of Rajasthan.
These are example for us, for trying out the same techniques successfully in other places as well. Even the unfertile soil of Ramanathapuram in Tamilnadu is being made rich and fertile today by the hard work of a few Sardarjees from Punjab.
Rain water harvesting is yet another great way to keep our home gardens & kitchen gardens lush green.

Even as early as 23 years back, when my aged parents had just shifted to Bangalore from Chennai,
there were lush green forests & happily swaying agricultural farms
in the outrskirts of our Desi Sillicon Valley Bangalore. But these days I
see nothing other than annoying concrete, cement , brick & jam
packed tar roads with non stop traffic in all directions. Many parts of
this city is not livable by humans today. We don't have agricultural lands around most cities of India, anymore.
