I travelled to Kalyanpur, a village near Dalsingsarai, in Bihar. The Gangetic Plain is as lush, green and fertile as it's made out to be. This particular village looks prosperous, there's a school, the crop yields are high and the farmers have cell phones.
But of course, there is no reliable power supply and electricity is available for about 2 hours a day. Farmers are finding it difficult because their children want to migrate to the city and man aging farmers are unsure about what to do with their land.
