00:00 These three pillars covered. I know that we say it very, it sounds very academic.
00:07 Aisa lag raha hai school mein teen pillars bata rahe hai. But these are really critical.
00:12 Of course, you are in a biodiverse place where your environment is absolutely critical to who you are as a people.
00:23 So we can't let, we can't allow that to be harmed. That's number one.
00:28 Number two is social and cultural. You have a sense of pride as a community that I don't see in many cities in India.
00:38 People don't have it. They have forgotten their own roots.
00:41 They don't have a connection to their language, to their music, to their instruments.
00:46 And that's not the case in Dura. You have a big heart.
00:50 Yesterday wherever we went, we saw something that was of this land, that belonged to the people of this land.
00:58 So that needs to be protected and that is your wealth.
01:01 That is what, it's not that tourism is bad. This is what will bring you tourists.
01:06 If I'm coming from Delhi, I don't want to see another Delhi in Dura.
01:11 Mujhe nahi dekhna hai. Mujhe Bangalore nahi dekhna hai.
01:13 Dura mein Dura dekhna hai. Main agar Sasadgrih jaune, Sasadgrih dekhna hai.
01:18 Mujhe waha pe Delhi nahi dekhna hai. Mujhe waha pe Palak Paneer nahi chahiye.
01:22 That's sort of the point I was trying to make.
01:24 And people, today people are open to trying new things.
01:27 You must at least nudge them to do that.
01:31 And of course the economic benefits.
01:34 Agar if local stakeholders are not getting benefits, if they are not taking away a decent day's work, you know, wage,
01:46 then it will not work.
01:48 This is your place. You need to share the benefits. You need to get the benefits.
01:53 And that's, you know, that, that, I know that there will be many experts to be able to tell you how to make that happen.
