  N Munal Meitei Mountains are one of the oldest nature’s pristine structures, stolid and regal they stand against the sky, of such a size that they can catch entire countryside’s in their shadow, and turn back the ravages of storms against their unflinching sides. They are the source of recreation and resource, with stones of green dressed slopes to enthusiasts, and to those brave enough to delve into their stony sides. Mountains are one of the most beautiful and interesting geological features that nature has to offer us.

Mangrove seedlings showed good growth like they did in plastic bags and higher durability against water inundation. They were also able to spread roots better in palmyra bags. Traditional crafts involving palmyra leaves constitute an important source of livelihood for locals in the district of Thanjavur. Sitting near her thatched hut, Achikkannu reaches for a set of dried palmyra ( Borassus flabellifer ) leaves kept on a fence, made of broken fishing nets. She cuts the leaves into equal parts.
