Nature’s Wonder – SALT, Gandhiji and Dandi march – A collection of inseparables Compiled by S. Satyanidhi

Description

This publication is but a small attempt to reach those who are not aware of this wonder chemical, yet called Common Salt – the Child of the Earth – and to those involved in the Salt Industry. This is a mere compilation of various articles published in The Hindu newspaper and other articles available on website. It is an attempt, hitherto not made, to bring together various data and information on articles on ‘Salt’, its importance in the human body metabolism, the various avatars it has taken. In today’s industry Salt is used as an important raw material – either directly or in the form of derivatives – in more than 15000 ways. This publication consists of information related to the knowledge, composition, health effects, its role in economy in providing employment and revenue potential, etc. Various Editors have lucidly dealt with their part of involvement with salt.
