00:00 I want to leave my career and focus on the sustainable development of Konkan.
00:04 I don't want to show myself to the people of Konkan.
00:06 We were the kings of Konkan.
00:07 We were farmers.
00:08 We were fishermen.
00:09 We were the kings.
00:10 We want to remain kings.
00:11 Our expertise is in climbing the trees.
00:13 We are in fishing.
00:14 There is no place in the world where fishing is not possible in Konkan.
00:16 Everything that comes to our village comes from nature.
00:20 When I was doing engineering, I was simultaneously preparing for UPSC.
00:23 Konkan is not only in Maharashtra.
00:24 Konkan is divided in five states.
00:26 It took about five to six years for the ancestors to find out what was added to the fish curry.
00:31 We say, "Oppose the refinery."
00:33 But we are using petrol, right?
00:35 Namaskar.
00:41 Welcome once again to the special episode of Lok Satta Online, "Ghost Asaman."
00:46 We are in Konkan.
00:56 Nature here always attracts tourists.
00:59 Many people say, "Wow! Konkan is ours."
01:02 But the reasons for the development of Konkan are clear.
01:07 One of them is Konkanese.
01:10 That is, Prasad Gawde.
01:12 Prasad, through our YouTube channel,
01:15 you and I are introducing Konkan to each other.
01:19 Today, we will learn about his journey.
01:22 Prasad, first of all, welcome to your Lok Satta.
01:25 Through your YouTube channel,
01:27 you are telling us about Konkan's agricultural culture and its tourism.
01:34 But your background is in engineering.
01:36 How did you come to this field, the tourism field?
01:40 Namaskar. My name is Prasad Gawde.
01:42 I am from a village near Goa, Savantawadi, which is at the very corner of Konkan.
01:51 The life we have seen since childhood,
01:55 what is natural to us,
01:58 what people call sustainable livelihood,
02:02 that was our life.
02:03 Everything that comes to our village,
02:07 comes from nature.
02:08 I will not say from agriculture.
02:10 From nature.
02:11 Today, when we talk about Konkan's agricultural culture,
02:14 or Konkan's home,
02:15 how to make use of these natural things,
02:19 the science that our ancestors have taught us,
02:22 is all true.
02:23 If we look at the architectural styles of the houses,
02:26 the wood used in the houses,
02:28 the fruits like the tree,
02:31 the kokuma,
02:33 these are all wild edible fruits.
02:35 All these were my livelihood.
02:37 After going to engineering,
02:39 I felt that I had broken away from my livelihood.
02:43 When I started living in the city,
02:45 I was in Aurangabad for 4 years.
02:47 I got to see the poverty of Marathwada in Aurangabad.
02:52 I realized that poverty is not natural.
02:56 It is not natural.
02:57 Marathwada's water is not reaching Marathwada
03:00 due to industrial farming and commercial farming.
03:03 How is it possible?
03:04 How poverty is created due to industrialization?
03:07 How indigenous communities are affected
03:09 by the so-called 'Bhandwal Sahi'?
03:11 What do the local people have to suffer?
03:14 We got to see this.
03:16 When I came back to the village,
03:18 I realized that
03:19 the 'Kokan' that we call here,
03:22 if we want to keep it the same,
03:25 we need a parallel economy.
03:28 The development that is happening today,
03:30 it is not only useful to oppose it.
03:31 We need to work in a parallel economy
03:33 that believes in sustainable livelihood.
03:35 We need to work with interest in such a parallel economy.
03:40 I decided this.
03:41 That is why I did not work for a long time after engineering.
03:43 I worked in a company for 2-3 months.
03:50 But then I realized that
03:52 the time was to implement an eco-sensitive zone in Kokana.
03:56 No government has approved the Madhavgarh-Avala Shifarasi.
04:00 People were looking at Kokana's development from a different angle.
04:04 They were looking at Kokan's California.
04:06 As a local,
04:07 what are you doing with Kokan's California?
04:10 You have a beautiful river and canal,
04:14 and the environment is still good.
04:16 But what is the point of ruining this environment
04:18 and doing something in California?
04:20 Do my people in Kokana want development?
04:24 Or, as we call it today, the meaning of happiness.
04:27 People in Kokana still consider happiness in a different way.
04:31 We call it 'Sushagath'.
04:33 Will my 'Sushagath' end?
04:35 Will I have to go to a race?
04:38 That is why my journey has started from a different angle.
04:41 I will not call it a complete journey.
04:44 Because a journey is never sustainable.
04:46 Tourism can ruin the environment,
04:50 and the local people can be affected in different ways.
04:55 But I work on a lifestyle-based definition of development.
04:59 But we say that
05:00 if a big part of the development is done like Kokana,
05:03 and we call it permanent development,
05:05 then you should have a vision.
05:08 You were working, as you said.
05:10 Did you have a back-of-the-mind
05:13 that you wanted to do this?
05:14 Did you have a back-of-the-mind?
05:18 When I was doing engineering,
05:19 I was simultaneously preparing for UPSC.
05:22 And because of that,
05:23 I was not only looking at the engineering background,
05:25 but also looking at the career of UPSC, MPSC,
05:27 from the perspective of the administration.
05:30 That is why my vision grew.
05:33 And I have a paper called Lok Satta,
05:36 and Indian Express.
05:37 These are ideal papers for UPSC.
05:40 So, from this,
05:41 whatever I wanted to read,
05:42 whether it is Agra Legacy or something else,
05:43 that is why a different perspective was slowly being created.
05:47 We say that Kokan is Kokan.
05:50 But what is Kerala?
05:51 Kerala is also Kokan.
05:52 What is Goa?
05:53 Goa is also Kokan.
05:54 Kokan is not only in Maharashtra.
05:55 Kokan is divided in five states.
05:58 From Gujarat up to Kerala,
05:59 also Tamil Nadu.
06:00 And Kokan is the western coast of India,
06:03 the western coast of 1600 km.
06:04 So, the definition of development is different in Goa,
06:07 and how can it be different in Maharashtra,
06:09 in terms of Kokan?
06:10 So, there is a link of development.
06:12 And this development cannot happen without the support of the local people.
06:16 Today, if we see,
06:18 if roads are being brought in Kokana for the development of Kokan,
06:22 but how many people have been asked,
06:23 do you want roads in your village or not?
06:26 We want roads,
06:27 but not the kind of roads
06:29 that disturb our nature, our rivers, our sea.
06:32 People say that you are violating the CRZ.
06:35 But the ecosystem of Kokana tells us that
06:37 where we are sitting now,
06:39 there is a Devrai behind it.
06:40 And we call this Devrai as the Rai of our Jagedara.
06:43 This CRZ is protected by our ancestors.
06:46 Because this is a mountain on the coast of the sea,
06:49 which has an area of about 6 to 10 acres.
06:54 So, our ancestors said that you can break even one of its leaves.
06:58 What will be the other CRZ than this?
07:00 That is, the inspiration to keep nature alive in our lifestyle,
07:04 we forget it in the definition of development.
07:08 The questions you are presenting now,
07:10 we say that if we become a part of the system,
07:13 then it changes.
07:15 And you were preparing for the competition.
07:18 So, you have not changed this thing by staying in the system.
07:21 Don't you feel so?
07:23 This is my opinion.
07:26 But I heard a story in my life.
07:30 There was an SP during the time of Vengurla.
07:32 I heard that the minister of agriculture had slapped the SP.
07:35 I mean, I am serious.
07:37 The SP changed in 2 months.
07:41 We hear a lot about an officer named Tukaram Munde.
07:44 This officer does a very good job,
07:46 but every 2 years or 1 year, he changes.
07:49 I feel that if I am a local citizen,
07:52 I also have a lot of power.
07:53 And I will not underestimate the common man.
07:56 But I say that if a political person takes your vision,
08:00 he will never take it.
08:02 Till date, my work as a rural person has never received political support.
08:08 And I do not expect it to be given.
08:10 Because the political people's vision is to earn money in 5 years.
08:14 And in those 5 years, only the wait can be taken.
08:16 Because sustainable development is a slow and sustainable process.
08:20 It takes time.
08:21 The ancestors would have taken 5-6 years to find out what seeds were planted near the fish.
08:26 They would have used all the fruits of the coconut tree.
08:29 After that, they would have realized that this is Sichuan pepper.
08:32 If this is added, the fish tastes good and is good for health.
08:36 It is a slow and sustainable process.
08:38 And we cannot prepare it in 20 years or 15 years.
08:41 So, there are some limits to it.
08:43 So, when we say system in development,
08:46 the system can be like this.
08:48 We have to give our vision to the government officials.
08:53 Today, we are working as an entity for tourists.
08:59 We also work for the tourism sector.
09:02 But is there an interest in the tourism sector?
09:05 We want to make the old houses of the locals,
09:07 the houses of the soil,
09:08 into homestays.
09:10 And they live like that.
09:11 Houses of soil, chimneys.
09:12 Now, there is a trend that people are building their own houses.
09:16 They have mud houses and village tourism.
09:19 People are building resorts on the land of fish.
09:23 But in Koknap, 20 years ago,
09:25 there were 100% houses of soil.
09:27 Why did we build them?
09:28 If those houses are of soil,
09:30 why are they not becoming homestays?
09:31 If the system works with the locals,
09:34 tourism can be established.
09:36 But is the system ready?
09:37 This is my question.
09:39 The question you are posing now,
09:41 have you realized the positive change in this?
09:44 You are asking local questions through your videos.
09:48 It means, it will reach the government and the authorities.
09:54 Have you realized the positive change in it?
09:57 Absolutely.
09:58 I have realized it.
10:00 When we had done some activities with the collector madam of Sindhurga district,
10:07 she had shown positivity.
10:09 Then, Maharashtra Tourism had also worked with us.
10:14 Even now, there are some authorities like
10:17 there is a model of cleanliness in Vengurla,
10:20 which has been supported by the United Nations.
10:24 They have set up a good model.
10:26 There are authorities that work for the locals.
10:29 But there is a need for more authorities like this in Kokna.
10:32 And the reason is that the political interest in this is not visible anywhere.
10:39 The representatives we have elected
10:41 do not live in Kokna or they have little experience of the life and culture of Kokna.
10:46 They are being educated from Mumbai.
10:50 Now, you can see that the place we are sitting in is 600 km long.
10:55 What is the ecosystem of Mumbai?
10:57 What are the questions of Mumbai?
10:58 And what can be the questions of the invitation or the ecosystem of the road?
11:03 It means, the Ganpati festival in Mumbai is due to pollution.
11:07 And the Ganpati festival in Kokna is a spiritual wave.
11:10 We have to understand this.
11:12 In Ganpati, people are being killed in Mumbai.
11:15 Whereas, in Ganpati, in Kokna, young people are being thrown out of their homes.
11:20 We have to understand this difference in the lifestyle and culture.
11:24 And our representatives are getting less in that.
11:27 And maybe the representatives we are calling,
11:30 they need to work in this way with the system.
11:33 We are talking about this and you are answering the questions.
11:37 And you are giving information about the whole region.
11:40 I feel that a person living in Kokna, a young man, is asking so many questions.
11:47 And he is answering them with his stomach.
11:49 He is answering them through his videos.
11:50 His positive changes are also happening slowly.
11:53 So, people should know about his personal life.
11:57 I have not heard you talk much about your parents in your videos.
12:03 How was that journey?
12:05 How was the Prasad before the journey of Kokni Ran Manoj?
12:10 I am not showing my personal life.
12:15 Because I am working with a mission.
12:17 I am leaving my entire career and today I am showing the sustainable development of Kokna.
12:22 I don't want to show Kokni to Kokani people.
12:24 You have been to Mumbai and Bangde Kavgai.
12:27 Kokan should be represented at a global level.
12:30 Because the lifestyle of Kokana is climate friendly.
12:34 The world should follow the lifestyle and spirituality of Kokana.
12:38 Such a need has been created.
12:40 We should give our lifestyle to the world in such a way that
12:43 how a person is doing fish farming,
12:46 how he is doing rice farming, how he is living his life.
12:49 It's a lifestyle and I will call it an ecological lifestyle.
12:52 It's not just a materialistic lifestyle.
12:55 If Kokan people decide to do agriculture,
12:59 there is no scope for that.
13:01 Because you see that there are only jungles here.
13:03 So, keeping the jungles is our pattern.
13:06 That's why I always gave him an angle that
13:10 Ran Manoj is nothing but not Prasad Gawde.
13:13 Ran Manoj is an indigenous person from Kokana.
13:15 He lives in such a way and he got that platform.
13:18 If I keep showing my family,
13:20 they might get a different perspective.
13:22 They might get more views.
13:24 Maybe because people are more interested in my personal life,
13:26 I get more money from YouTube.
13:28 The reason for asking this is that
13:30 we say that if you want to do a big movement,
13:34 the support of your family is equally important.
13:37 So, this was the intention that your family…
13:39 Yes, I will tell you that.
13:41 My father was a wireman in the electricity department, MSEB.
13:45 Because of him, I went to different villages.
13:47 Because he always wanted to change.
13:49 He worked in Sawantwadi, Vengur, Lagdi,
13:51 and even in Ratnagiri, Dapoli.
13:53 Ratnagiri was a district.
13:55 He worked there.
13:57 Because of him, I went to different villages.
14:00 Today, my father has reduced something,
14:03 so I was able to change my path.
14:05 Because the previous generation went to stability,
14:09 so I didn't feel that I should struggle.
14:13 But then I made my struggle here.
14:16 I didn't struggle to get my personal money.
14:20 I did it to get a social work.
14:23 My father was a wireman.
14:25 My mother was at home.
14:27 My parents don't know much about my work.
14:31 They don't have much knowledge.
14:33 So, if I go to see,
14:35 it will take time for that generation to understand.
14:37 Because we are a part of a different generation.
14:40 So, they say, do what you do.
14:42 That's how much they have.
14:44 My mother is a teacher.
14:46 She has done her MBA in Mumbai.
14:48 So, this is my family background.
14:50 You started this when you were alone.
14:53 Now, you have more people with you.
14:57 How did you pick them up?
15:01 How did you know that they can be a part of this movement?
15:04 How did it happen?
15:06 First, I came on YouTube in 2020.
15:09 When the lockdown started,
15:11 I used to do tourism and such things.
15:13 I got a platform on YouTube.
15:16 I started reaching out to people.
15:18 Then I realized that
15:20 even if I come in front of people,
15:23 there are genuine people in Konkan
15:25 who live like me.
15:27 Maybe they don't know how to speak well like me.
15:30 Maybe they don't know how to show me the video.
15:33 If everyone starts using a camera in Konkan,
15:35 who will survive?
15:37 What will we eat?
15:39 So, I started bringing such people on this platform.
15:42 I have a brother named Balu.
15:44 We started a model called Mangar.
15:46 He used to live in a house made of mud.
15:48 We did a homestay in that house.
15:50 But we didn't allow them to visit the place.
15:52 So, we started community living.
15:55 Today, there are such people in the cities
15:57 who want to come to the village and work.
15:59 They don't want to come here and experience luxury.
16:02 Those who want to experience luxury,
16:04 they can go to such places.
16:06 But they want to come to Konkan and learn something.
16:08 How to grow rice here?
16:10 How to grow spices here?
16:12 How to make rice lavani?
16:14 How to make fish curry?
16:16 They need to be in a centre.
16:18 We are looking at Mangar for that.
16:20 There were some kids,
16:22 some young people who are with me.
16:24 They are also in the same thought process.
16:27 The kids of our age are in a transition period.
16:31 They have seen an abrupt change.
16:34 20 years ago, we used to live in a house made of mud.
16:37 There was a land of shed.
16:39 But today, we see it scrolling on the reel.
16:42 We promote it as luxury.
16:46 Our generation is watching it.
16:48 So, they don't have a self-reliance.
16:51 Such kids are joining.
16:53 There are such young people for whom this platform exists.
16:56 I never promote it.
16:58 I don't give them money to work with me.
17:00 I don't earn money from it.
17:03 But there is a solution to the problem.
17:05 We are eating and living good, pure quality food.
17:08 We are starting community farming.
17:11 We see rice fields in Konkan.
17:15 But the rice production is decreasing.
17:17 The younger generation is not interested in rice production.
17:20 So, we should produce and eat our own rice.
17:23 I don't think we can sell everything in Konkan.
17:27 But if we do it ourselves,
17:29 we say that coconut is not great.
17:32 But 20 years ago, our grandmothers used to eat coconut and coconut.
17:37 Now, they use refined oil.
17:39 People in Kolhapur don't eat coconut oil.
17:43 Because it has not developed its taste.
17:45 You should make fish curry in Konkan.
17:48 You should make coconut curry in Konkan.
17:50 Then, your food culture will be suppressed.
17:53 This is very important.
17:55 When I go to Karnataka, Udupi,
17:57 Konkan language is spoken in the coastal belt.
17:59 In that area, you can eat rice, coconut curry, etc.
18:05 I don't think it is a big deal that Konkan hotels are in Mumbai.
18:10 How many people in Konkan eat Konkan food,
18:13 it all depends on that.
18:15 You said that you don't promote it.
18:18 You don't do any paid activities.
18:21 But we say that this is a big business.
18:25 We have to take care of it.
18:27 You have a technical team.
18:30 Because you are showing this part of Konkan.
18:33 People in the region should be connected to it.
18:36 Visually and mentally.
18:39 It all takes a lot of money.
18:43 How do you manage that?
18:45 I do tourism.
18:48 We take paid workshops.
18:52 I don't see YouTube payment.
18:55 I don't advertise anyone on YouTube.
18:58 But the tourists here give a business.
19:02 We sell the local products.
19:06 We don't sell it in Mumbai.
19:08 I think that instead of selling a product in Mumbai,
19:12 the tourists should come here and see our farm.
19:14 See the trees we have planted.
19:16 See how we plant the seeds.
19:18 I don't want to promote it organically.
19:21 I want to promote it as a celebrity.
19:24 What Balujada is doing is my celebrity.
19:27 You should come and meet him.
19:29 You decide how much money you want to take.
19:32 He won't tell you.
19:34 If you take a black paper for Rs. 1200,
19:37 if you take all this expensive stuff,
19:40 you should visit this Konkan mall,
19:43 and if you feel you should give him extra money,
19:46 or else it is our price.
19:48 This way, we generate income source.
19:51 We don't use big gadgets.
19:55 If we want to grow something on YouTube,
19:59 we should do it this way.
20:02 People should come and donate funds.
20:06 I started a project on the land.
20:11 I called people to come and do it.
20:14 I don't promote trees.
20:16 I don't have any problem.
20:18 If you are interested, give some money.
20:20 We have restored some houses.
20:22 We have saved 2-3 lakh rupees.
20:26 We have built 2 more homestays.
20:29 We have restored their houses.
20:32 People are genuinely doing it.
20:36 Instead of fake promotions and fake crowds,
20:40 show real, original things,
20:42 and connect with real, original people.
20:44 Maybe they will support you in your work.
20:48 You had made a video, "Be the Changemaker".
20:51 You had called people to come and join us.
20:56 How did you get the response?
21:00 We got a good response.
21:02 People are still connected.
21:04 But now, it is not possible to invite everyone.
21:08 We have a workshop on activities.
21:11 We have a workshop called Fisherman Village.
21:15 We want to show how rapan fishing is done.
21:19 We have started scuba diving and water sports in Konkan.
21:25 But I don't think our expertise is in scuba diving.
21:28 Our expertise is in climbing trees.
21:30 Our expertise is in fishing rapan.
21:33 Our expertise in farming should be the activity.
21:39 Scuba diving can be done anywhere in the world.
21:43 Scuba diving can be done where there is sea.
21:45 But rapan fishing in Konkan cannot be done anywhere in the world.
21:48 We want to present that.
21:50 That is why we do such activities.
21:52 We call people to join us.
21:54 People who are interested come and work here.
21:57 I think they are the changemakers.
21:59 They are slowly joining us.
22:01 Last year, Manseh's leader Amit Thackeray had also come to Konkan.
22:05 You had got a chance to travel with him.
22:09 How did you get the opportunity?
22:11 Did he give you any special invitation?
22:13 No, no.
22:14 The trail with him was very good.
22:17 The youth of Konkan has joined Manseh's party.
22:22 I think so.
22:23 The youth of Konkan wanted to travel with Raj or Amit.
22:29 They wanted to know about the problems here.
22:31 We discussed some things while travelling.
22:35 We talked about the issues here.
22:37 They gave a positive response.
22:39 Raj sir took up the role of refinery.
22:44 They connect with the people of this ground level.
22:47 That is why they are against refinery.
22:50 Politicians who take up such roles...
22:53 That is why I say that political people should take vision from the local people.
22:57 Vision is made in the soil.
22:59 It is not made in Mumbai.
23:01 You have brought up the refinery issue.
23:04 There are many other issues.
23:06 It is about tourism, development and employment.
23:11 We see YouTubers and content creators.
23:16 There are people from Konkan.
23:18 They also talk about Konkan.
23:20 They are active here.
23:21 But the way you take up the role without hesitation...
23:24 It is a doubtful situation.
23:28 You talk about those issues.
23:30 But no one from this community can see it.
23:34 How do you see it?
23:36 We should not expect YouTubers to do it.
23:40 YouTube is a profession.
23:43 I am saying this because it is not my profession.
23:45 When we see YouTube as a profession...
23:49 We have a crowd.
23:51 To please that crowd...
23:53 We need to increase the crowd.
23:54 How do we get publicity from it?
23:56 If I start a recipe channel in Konkan tomorrow...
23:59 My followers will increase.
24:01 I can present the recipe even ecologically.
24:05 I can present the recipe on a paper.
24:09 The fish curry and rice is not just a food.
24:11 It is a medicine.
24:12 That is how I earn money.
24:14 I think YouTube is a profession.
24:18 They take up the role without hesitation.
24:21 I do not see it as a profession.
24:24 I see it as a platform.
24:26 Like the popular movement is a voice.
24:28 When we see it as a voice...
24:30 I want to voice my questions.
24:32 I am a person of opinion.
24:35 If I want to earn money...
24:37 I think YouTube is not a platform.
24:41 Konkan is a limited crowd.
24:43 They talk about ecology in Marathi.
24:46 How many people will watch it?
24:48 This video is about the ecosystem.
24:52 How many people will watch it?
24:54 People like to watch other videos.
24:58 This is the difference.
25:01 I do not watch YouTube in the future.
25:06 I do not watch social media.
25:08 I want to live in Konkan.
25:10 I want clean air.
25:12 I do not want chemical rice.
25:14 I do not want chemical hapusamba.
25:16 I will eat all this.
25:18 I want to live in Konkan.
25:20 I want to grow my crop.
25:23 YouTube is a hype now.
25:27 YouTubers will be active for 5-10 years.
25:30 If we want to live in Konkan...
25:33 We need to work with the soil.
25:36 If we do not raise our voice on the soil...
25:38 It will not make any sense.
25:40 You have made a secondary plan.
25:42 What is it?
25:44 What is your vision for the next 5 years?
25:51 As we evolve...
25:54 When we talk about nature...
25:57 We have to clean the beach and remove plastic.
26:00 We have to understand nature.
26:04 We have to understand that plastic is not a cause.
26:09 We have to understand why plastic is produced.
26:11 We have to understand why plastic is used.
26:13 I started a journey in the opposite direction.
26:16 I realized that we are against refineries.
26:19 But we are using petrol.
26:21 We are all going to use petrol.
26:23 The dependency on petrol is increasing.
26:25 Motorcycles are coming to the village.
26:27 What is the solution?
26:30 If refineries are not built here, they will be built elsewhere.
26:32 Carbon emissions will cause climate change.
26:35 The consequences will be seen.
26:37 The simultaneous way is...
26:41 To take our lifestyle to sustainability.
26:47 To minimalism.
26:49 You can see such people in Konkan...
26:53 Who are still living in the village.
26:56 They are less distracted by mobile.
27:00 They still ride a cycle.
27:02 They still drink water from the well.
27:05 They drink water from the river.
27:07 I think this is a community.
27:09 If we take the lifestyle of a community...
27:11 We can survive for millions of years.
27:13 As we become materialistic...
27:16 We will increase our expenses.
27:18 We will increase the speed of the forage and the fire.
27:20 What do we want?
27:22 Happiness.
27:24 In a pure language, we want happiness.
27:26 Happiness is in our basic lifestyle.
27:28 Why are we running after it?
27:30 If we think about it...
27:32 I think that in the next 5 years...
27:34 I am seeing a community...
27:36 Which will believe in self-sustainability.
27:40 Which will believe in...
27:42 The minimum resources...
27:44 Which are needed to survive.
27:46 Because in the end, we will be...
27:48 Talking about the development of the village.
27:50 But in 20 years, how much has been developed...
27:52 Because of Goa tourism...
27:54 We are seeing it closely.
27:56 I have been to Kalangut beach since 2000.
27:58 We have been to Kalangut since childhood.
28:00 We used to go to Kalangut beach.
28:02 Kalangut was a very quiet beach.
28:04 Today, people in Goa...
28:06 Don't feel Kalangut beach.
28:08 Why is this happening?
28:10 Why did it take so long in 20 years?
28:12 In the next 30 years, we will be...
28:14 Going to Kalangut beach.
28:16 Why did it take so long?
28:18 In the next 30 years, we will be...
28:20 Going to Konkan beach.
28:22 We have created a community...
28:24 Which believes in the basic lifestyle.
28:26 Which believes in happiness.
28:28 We have created a community...
28:30 Called Aro Vile.
28:32 It is a model of community living.
28:34 It is a model of community living.
28:36 It is a model of community living.
28:38 It is a model of community living.
28:40 It is a model of community living.
28:42 It is a model of community living.
28:44 Maybe we can create such a community here.
28:46 Maybe we can create such a community here.
28:48 You have spoken so much about Konkan.
28:50 My last question is...
28:52 We see Konkan as a tourist destination.
28:54 Tourists come here to see the nature.
28:56 To experience the sea.
28:58 To experience the sea.
29:00 To experience the cultural heritage.
29:02 But, as you say...
29:04 We don't see it as a tourist destination.
29:06 We need to give our input for that.
29:08 We need to give our input for that.
29:10 So, bring all those tourists.
29:12 Whether they are from Konkan or outside.
29:14 What message would you give them?
29:16 That is a very important question.
29:18 Because, today...
29:20 Tourists come to Konkan and stay.
29:22 They eat here.
29:24 This is the reason for the development of Konkan.
29:26 Because, wherever they spend money...
29:28 It goes to the local people.
29:30 If you come to Konkan and stay in a resort...
29:32 If you come to Konkan and stay in a resort...
29:34 You are promoting the beach side resort.
29:36 You are promoting the beach side resort.
29:38 Because, to build a beach side resort...
29:40 You can't build a resort without a beach side resort.
29:42 Because, all the beaches in Konkan are mangroves.
29:44 You can go to a mountain side resort.
29:46 People from Konkan never stay at the top of the mountain.
29:48 They stay in the valleys.
29:50 They have kept the mountain as a protector.
29:52 They have built houses on the ground.
29:54 They have so much geography knowledge.
29:56 If you stay at the top of the mountain...
29:58 You don't get water from the top of the mountain.
30:00 If it rains on the top of the mountain...
30:02 The water comes from the bottom of the mountain.
30:04 That is why they have built houses.
30:06 If you promote tourism in this way...
30:08 You will get a lot of visitors from Konkan.
30:10 You will get a resort.
30:12 You will get a lot of visitors from Konkan.
