Tell us and we'll tell the world

Some kinds of sponsored trips for journalists are not a bad idea. In January  the Sikkim government took journalists from Delhi to study how the state had become  India’s first fully organic farming state. The trip was meant to coincide with the prime minister's visit to Sikkim to  announce this at a  sustainable agriculture conference in Gangtok. The result has been a flood of coverage across publications on both a subject and a state that little is written about. This two-pager  in the ET Sunday magazine for instance, is both interesting and educative.
