12th October 2013- Some years back, when I had just joined Reach and environmental work was new to me, we were asked to go through this thick book which was 16 inches by 11.5 inches This book had lots of maps, statistics and graphs and was one and a half inch thick. We were ‘bullied’ into staying at the Reach office till almost midnight for a few days to review it. At that time, tired from work in the evenings, I thought it was a sheer waste of time. But looking back, this book became a very useful source of information for me when it came to ‘ community service’.
