Tiwari has been a great supporter of tribals and other poor and neglected communities of the country;and in this he is an exception among foresters;jatropha can be a good solution to utilise our marginal lands,poor communities and for reducing our dependence on non-renewable fuel provided the per hectare yield of oil can be improved considerably by genetic manipulation of the plant;it is a very bold step for an experienced forester like him to promote plantations of the species on a scale never tried anywhere so far.May success crown his attempts.
