Aa, that poplar-melia model they push at the block meetings! The theory is baaga solid—plant trees on your field bunds for extra income and windbreaks. They promise a five-year payout, selling the timber. But in my rainfed fields in Bihar, that timeline is a dream. My own neem sapling on the boundary took eight years just to give good shade, let alone timber worth selling. Without steady irrigation, growth is slow, and the *sarkar's* payout count starts from the day of planting, not from when your trees actually survive the dry spells.
