About Alka Gahlot in 68, Nawada, Delhi

I am a self employed person. I belong to a farmer family and manage agriculture land. One building in village Nawada has been given to Delhi Government from where a Dispensary is run and free medical checkup and free medicines are given including vaccination to the people of the area.

Running a preparatory school since 1999 in village Nawada by the name "Tejasvi Kids". The school is run on the lines of scientific advances in child psychology on the undisputed premise that children enjoy learning through play, hands on activities and through interaction with others. A nominal fee is charged from the parents just to meet the salary expanses for the teachers of the school. There was no preparatory school in the area and the kids were lagging behind their peer group from other areas when they joined formal school. This was leading to numerous problems to the kids including inferiority complex. The basic objective of starting the preparatory school is to remove the above problems faced by children and to give solid foundation through innovative teaching methods to produce confident, creative and eager learners at an affordable price. The children from Tejasvi Kids are in leading schools of Delhi and doing very well.

I am a specialist in matters related to land disputes, Environmental Law, International Trade Law, Administrative Law backed by a LL. B. Degree from Faculty of Law, Delhi University and M. Tech. (I. I. T. Madras) where training in these subjects were given.

Over twenty-six years experience in technical consultancy supported by an engineering post graduate degree from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. I hire people on contractual basis for specific needs. I own an office with all the infrastructure facilities.

Actively participated & deliberated in the proceedings of Indo-US workshop & National Congress on Molecular Biology and Microbial Bio-Technology held during March 23-28, 2003, in the School of Life Science, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India. In this workshop I got an opportunity to entract with scientists from around the world and learn from their work.

Low Cost Polygreen House Cultivation:
Poly green house cultivation enables protection of seedlings from rains and wind; the microclimate can be controlled considerably well, the practice minimizes the requirement of labour and enables much better control over pests and diseases. The practice maximizes yields per unit area and enables fructification of good market value due to high quality crop and variation in crop timings. I developed the technology and demonstrated it before thousands of farmers. My work motivated and convinced thousands of farmers and nurserymen to use low cost poly greenhouses for raising seedlings and plant propagation and increase the efficiency of tube wells by simple low cost modifications through talks and demonstrations.
