The book 'Plenty for All' (Total Pages 270, Price 400/-) published in Jan. 1997, by Mehta Publishing House, 1210, Sadashiv Peth, Pune 411 030 India, created a stir and sensation. This book gives a clear vision of how Natueco Culture is going to usher a new era of science with all its blessings. Events after events followed through the publication of the book, and are still following. It is interesting to study some of these, before we consider Prayog Pariwar's new concept of Equity Share.

1. Arun Shourie wrote two full articles on this book. These articles appeared in more than forty leading newspapers in India. The titles of these articles were, 1. One who has in fact wrought a revolution. 2. What an apt name Venturanand.
2. 1997 - 1998 was the platinum jubilee year of Andhra Bank Hyderabad. Shri Narayanan, Chairman and Managing Director, Andhra Bank, Hyderabad, took interactive involvement with Prayog Pariwar to take ventures of introducing the new paradigms of Natueco Culture in more than 100 villages in their service areas throughout the state. They released a booklet of 32 pages on Natueco Culture. This very artistically designed booklet was a concise but very clear presentation of Natueco culture. This Book was released by the then finance minister of India and the chief guest for the occasion was the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Shri Chadra Babu Naidu.
3. The Ahimsa Foundation, Madras, at their cost distributed 100 copies of this book in a conference on new organic strategies in agriculture organized by ICAR. More than 100 leading scientists and extension officers in agriculture from all the states had attended the meeting. I was to give the opening exposition on new concepts of Natueco Culture. Shri Sompal, the Agriculture Minister had graced the occasion. When I had introduced myself, he spontaneously broke ' I was hearing your name for the last 14 years' and in a style 'Ram Bharat Bhet' he greeted me and the media camera clicked.
4. Shri Jinabhai Darji the founder of more than 100 Ashram Shalas in the most backward tribal areas of Gujarath, being a veteran congress leader was asked to stand for parliament election. But he reported saying, 'I am in my eighties now. I have taken a venture to take Natueco Culture through our schools and to the people. The Natueco Culture ventures in 10 schools in Vyara were taken at his inspiration.
5. The Army Training Center at Panch Madhi, MP invited me for three days interactions with the army men. Later the head office of the Army Training Center at Simla, got interested in the methods of Prayog Pariwar and had communication with me to evolve techniracies and peer venture nets for retiring Army personnel who go back to their rural homes after retirement. Some Army peer venture nets are now coming up on their own. Every year about 50,000 army men retire. Prayog Pariwar is certain as in scientific grape revolution, a core of retired army men will soon evolve their own Peer venture nets. and their own techniracies.
6. Smt. Alka Desai Sharma, member of Assam legislative Assembly has many 'Peer Venture Nets' in Natueco Culture in Assam. Her husband, the Forest Minister of Assam, died on 27 the Feb 2000 in a bomb blast, planted by the extremists. I had her letter dated 5-7-00 before I had left for USA for 6 months. In that letter she has written, I am representing Nalbaai constituency. In Nalbaai per capita land holding is very low, unemployment is very high and now the youths are committed to set a new lead. Thus it is an ideal ground to practice harvesting of solar energy. Kindly let me know when can you come. This time the meeting will be in the fields.
7. In July 2000, in the last four days before I left for USA, I had an unexpected unique honor of having a phone call from Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalaam. He conveyed he had read the book 'Plenty for All' & he had become the fan of the book as also of the very fresh approach in it. He then had a talk to find time to be in Delhi on July 18, 2000 and spare an hour to participate in the discussion ' How science and technology work results reach the society for social change.' The whole discussion was to be with consultative group of government departments, agencies on science and technology. Later I got regular invitation letter with the list of more than 24 leading participants. Somehow that meeting was not possible at that time but I was at Delhi for other interactions and had 20 minutes presentation on that day. It highlighted "Peer Venture Net" methodology. I had put in short what I am so far putting here. I said the real theme of meeting should be how people on their own come seeking science and technology work results to have their venture search to resolve their every day problems by evolving their own techniracies.
8. The book 'Plenty For All' got the highest acclamation when the Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee elucidated the caption on the book 'Plenty for All', 'No Waste Mind' 'No Waste Land', before a mammoth gathering of farmers in Mumbai, on November 6th 1998.
