Hey, I am Jivan Lal Verma!

Mr. Verma has created an exceptional example of responsible rural tourism that greatly benefits the community and the visitors through genuine, respectful cultural interactions. Mr. Verma’s family has been present in the Kanda region for generations. He therefore has a deep understanding of the social, cultural and environmental issues faced by the local population. Most importantly, he recognizes that these three aspects are interdependent and thus integral parts of a fully sustainable system of living and all activites are approached with this in mind. Some examples of previous activites of R.O.S.E. include the installation of twin-tank latrines, construction of earthquake-proof homes, community educational programs on sanitation and rural employment. Further examples include a community shop, construction of a temple, Eco development, organic farming, micro dairy, poultry rearing and others.
