PALI, Rajasthan: Inspired by the green cover in the desert area of Israel, a man here is determined to transform the Thar desert by undertaking massive plantation on his own.

Kishore Khimawat, a diamond merchant by profession, has so far planted over 1.75 lakh neem plants in the district.

The green cover along many roads in the region reflects the dedication and hard work behind the plantation work done by him.

Not only road sides, but hospitals, schools and institute premises also have green cover due to the efforts of Khimawat, who hails from Khimel village, about 60 kms from here, and is now settled in Mumbai.

"Over 1.75 lakh saplings on several road sides, in a total area of 290 kms, have been planted in the district so far with cent per cent survival rate," Khimawat said.

The 58-year-old diamond businessman has been inspired by mass plantations in the desert of Israel.

"I have observed the success of mass-plantation in the desert of Israel and want to replicate the same plan over here. In Israel, large plantations caused heavy rainfall in desert areas.

We believe generally in the United States, we believe in ourselves and what a young country can achieve. Israel, since 1948, now a major factor in commerce and in the world. It's a smaller replica of what has been accomplished here and I think Americans admire that. They feel good about societies that are on the move.
