The 13th Shodhyatra held from May 1- May 8, 2004, covered a distance of 150 km in Gujarat. 40 Shodhyatris travelled from Nana Ambla to Balachadi, a route that constantly kept them close to the seashore. In fact, this was the first time that the Shodhyatra was taking place close to the sea.
The objectives of the Shodhyatra remained the same as before: documenting traditional local knowledge and felicitating knowledge holders with special focus on women centurions who are a unique resource and to encourage children to be concerned about biodiversity. This was done primarily in the form of involving children in biodiversity contests that were held in different villages. read more...
