Chatterjee, supported by the World Bank, was able to reclaim 4,600 hectares of land. The project started with 95 farmers but over two years the numbers increased.[3] The land in question had too much sodium and is known as Sodic soil. The first harvests of Paddy from the land showed a higher yield than traditional fields.[1]
She published "Listen to the mountains: a Himalayan journal" in 2005.[2]
Eventually there were 10,000 farmers and the land reclaimed was 625,000 hectares.[3]

She was given the Nari Shakti Puraskar award in 2017. The award was made in the Presidential Palace by the President of India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was present.[6]
