The schoolchildren are happiest, as they have not touched by Home Delivery and Mall culture. Their foods are gifted by mother nature, not touched by any "processing" and without any 'wrapper'.

Wow.
I'm struggling to find words. I just love the meghalaya docu series!
The school and the people stole my heart! If this is not holistic, I don't know what is. Love it!

Guys kindly change the subtitles colour.. It's almost invisible in your videos and making it difficult to read...
I really love your eco India videos and appreciate the high quality and research team... but without subtitles it's making it difficult for people like me..
