00:02 In our traditional huts, called Nukacet,
00:06 we have veranda, and after the veranda,
00:08 we have a special room for the guests.
00:12 Where there is a fireplace,
00:13 there will be musical instruments.
00:15 There will be a place for the guests to spend the time.
00:18 That room is called Nongrama.
00:20 I could employ some locals
00:24 who help me in running my homestead.
00:26 We have rainwater harvesting.
00:29 We collect the rainwater in a pond.
00:32 That pond replenishes the groundwater.
00:34 We have dug a small well on the side.
00:37 And then, to give back something to the society,
00:41 we have adopted one school in our locality.
00:45 We are trying whatever possible
00:47 to give back better opportunities,
00:50 better facilities to the students
00:51 and to the teachers as well.
