In the Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 3 Verse 12, it is mentioned that in charge of the various necessities of life, the demigods, being satisfied by the performance of yajna [sacrifice], supply all necessities to man. But he who enjoys these gifts, without offering them to the demigods in return, is certainly a thief. Mr. Devendrasingh Jhala was inspired by this Sloka and quoted
"I have taken a lot from nature,He has served 45 years of his life in the Industry of salt-works and bromine fields and has had the opportunity to share his adequate knowledge on salt at International Conferences held in various parts of the world like Netherlands, Greece, Mexico, China, India and Spain. During his tenure,he has converted more than fifty thousand Acres of wetlands into salt and bromine fields. At the age of 72 years, he has come to a conclusion that coastal wetland is quintessential for the environment as it shelters marine animals and migratory birds.

Mr. Devendra Singh Jhala & his son have dedicated their soul to social welfare and environmental activities and have built their own salt works' mobile clinic/ ambulance, in order to cater to people in need and people who reside in the vicinity of salt works. Our foundation has planted more than 100,000 mangrove plants and created colossal ponds of sea water where many migratory birds not only take shelter but have also started residing there permanently.
For most of history, man has had to fight nature to survive, in this century he is beginning to realize that, in order to survive, he must protect it. The other activities in addition to social welfare activities are spreading awareness amongst childrens of coastal villages about the environment which focuses mainly on birds, marine life and mangrove forests.
