In January 2008, Manavi staff traveled to Dehradoon to train farmers from Patori on preserving traditional varieties of seeds. In addition, Manavi, together with the farmers, are finalizing an action plan to carry out a seed collection march in six states, which will be organized in March 2008.
A large multinational company is planning to acquire land belonging to tribal community members and as a result, will displace them from their villages. Tribal members of more than 20 villages will be displaced without any proper compensation. Therefore they are organizing themselves to protest this action.
