As a part of my Parthenium awareness campaign in year 1997 I decided to publish small advertisement in different farm magazines mainly Krishak Jagat, Krishak Duniya, Vishwa Krishi Sanchar etc. and also in daily news papers with contents that for free information on Parthenium send your letter to this address i.e. my home address. I continued this advertisement up to year 2005. I received thousands of letters in response to this advertisement. I replied over 10,000 letters with information brochure as well as a colored picture of this plant. The total cost per letter was six rupees per letter. As you know I work without any financial support, after investing nearly 60,000 INR I decided to stop answering letters. I started writing popular articles both in Hindi and English so that interested people can get information directly from media. These thousands of letters are still with me. Few days back I decided to put contents of some letters in tabular form. In these letters I found many interesting information about existing Parthenium infestation in particular village as well as region and also about response of common people on use of different management methods. Through this Interactive Table I am giving details of these letters. My future plan is to add all letters in this form for the Parthenium workers and planners working on management of this weed.
