Yashwant Ramteke is talking to two entrepreneur adivasi boys who had applied for bank loans after being cleared from Khadi & Gramodyog dept and Pradhanmatri Rozgar Yojna. Yashwant says there are many such cases in this adivasi district and government should be more careful in stopping these adivasi youth in getting diverted in other direction by engaging them in these employment schemes. He says this delay in disbursing loans is also against the Reserve Bank of India norms. Yashwant can be reached on 09424278552

Yashwant Ramteke from Dantewada in Chhattisgarh says in the forest near National Mineral Development Mines some Tree ferns are found which are said to be more than 250 million years old. These are the oldest living plants on earth and this is the only location in Central India where they are found. These plants are in restricted area but NMDC had put pipelines there to fetch water which has killed hundreds of ferns.
