Good presentation: representative of the Mysore culture of accomplishment rather than achievement and contribution rather than competition. Transparent and contextually honest. Unusually good History.

Bangalore has been referred to as the "Garden City" due to its lush greenery, parks, and gardens, which contribute to its aesthetic and environmental appeal. This nickname reflects the city's historical commitment to preserving green spaces amidst rapid urbanization and technological development---Thanks to HC Javaraya.
This is an OUTSTANDING documentary about Rao Bahadur H.C. Javaraya, a PIONEER in Indian Horticulture, who was a landscape designer, horticulturist, and gardener.
He definitely left behind a better planet: Here's why:
* Championing Greenery:- Javaraya is attributed with transforming Bangalore into the "Garden City of India." He played a pivotal role in developing iconic public gardens like Lalbagh and Cubbon Park. These green spaces promote biodiversity, combat urban pollution, and enhance the overall livability of the city.
* Fruit Cultivation:- He established fruit research stations (like the one at Hesaraghatta), encouraging the cultivation of fruits. This likely increased fruit accessibility in the region, fostering improved nutrition, and potentially reducing land strain from less sustainable farming.
* Innovative Techniques:- His pioneering method of inducing apple trees to bear fruit twice a year within the Bangalore climate shows an understanding of working within the local environment to maximize agricultural potential.
His focus on enhancing greenery, promoting sustainable horticultural practices, and innovative research certainly aligned with the goal of making the planet a greener and healthier place.
