Helping the environment through planting of vegetation.

Currently, an arid section between a housing development and a heavily trafficked road it is being developed through effort by a small team of concerned neighbors. They have already cleared up the trash which was collecting in this open space and begun the planting of native plants and bougainvillea all along the roadside fence. This area can be used by everyone as a a shaded area to get out of the hot sun and the tiled path can be used for walks.

Large ficus trees provide vegetation for monkeys to co-exist in the vicinity.

One of the cornerstone projects we support alongside NavSahyog is the “Prakriti Prem” initiative. Through this endeavor, children in rural areas are provided with fruit saplings to nurture at their homes. This hands-on experience not only instills a deep love for nature but also cultivates an interest in farming practices among the youth. We are proud to have contributed to the distribution of 800 saplings as part of the Prakriti Prem project, symbolizing hope and growth for a greener tomorrow.
