Google Earth saves farmers

Poor farmers in rural India were about to be cheated out of their money -- and then technology came to their rescue.
     The rural workers were about to have their lands taken from them at cut-price levels after government authorities declared that they were unfertile areas -- although this was not true. The government was working to build a massive industrial zone outside Mumbai.
   Then one man had an idea -- he logged on to Google Earth, a wonderful program that allows anyone with a computer to patch into satellite images.
   They downloaded images of their smallholdings.
