Poovulagin Nanbargal

Poovulagin Nanbargal (Friends of the Earth) is an environmental organisation based in Tamil Nadu, India.[2] Poovulagin Nanbargal started in Chennai, Tamil Nadu in the late 1980s, by the Indian Overseas Bank employee Nedunchezhiyan.[5] Poovulagin Nanbargal has published articles about ecology, as well as about the Green Revolution in India and its impact on agriculture.[3] It has translated environment-related books, including Japanese agriculturist Masanobu Fukuoka's The One-Straw Revolution[1] and Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.[7] In August 2012, the court accepted the Nuclear Power Corporation of India's assurance on safety of the plant and dismissed the petition.
