Paresh Shinde, a mechanical engineer, was on a field visit to Sangli in Maharashtra last year when he saw a problem being solved. “The sparrow had all but vanished a few years ago from the area, but now the birds are back in large numbers. One of the initiatives that had worked was the birdbox made by an organisation called Khopa,” he says.
