He started cultivating sugarcane using bio-fertilizer and gradually as a hobby he started planting trees and his untiring efforts eventually turned to a ‘must visit location’ for all those travelling on the road between Sullia and Subramnaya. Gradullay he developed the area with his own ideas and everyone who comes to savour a juice end up spending hours together and most people will not pass without paying a visit to this nature friendly counter.
When children run around and play games it gives sathya immese satisfaction. He organizes training camps to educate young children on natural habitat, bio –diversity and water conservation.
When forests are disappearing at a rapid pace, the scorching heat of summer making life difficult for people Sathya’s efforts to create a Natural biological park within his own land and earn a living is a praiseworthy effort. The place remains evergreen throughout the year as the ground water gets replenished by water harvesting.
Sathya has plans to include a water fountain to enhance the beauty of the location and to create a lasting impression of all visitors in the finds hoping that such theme parks by nature lovers make a difference to the planet we live in .
