This project received support from various companies, including SalesHandy, Qable, Maxim Analog Devices, and Moltech Solutions as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative.

Project Impact
Growing trees is one of the best way to tackle climate change and make our surrounding healthier and better.
Water conservation
1 grown tree prevents 15,000 litre of water from washing away. Forest directly improves ground water recharge of city.
Carbon Captured
1 tree captures 25 kg of carbon in a year. Our dense forest with 7000 trees can capture over 1,75,000 kg in a year.
Oxygen supply
1 tree captures 25 kg of carbon in a year. Our dense forest with 7000 trees can capture over 1,75,000 kg in a year.
From people around the area
“After participating in the plantation drive, I am amazed to see the transformation in the landscape. What was once a barren land is now adorned with lush greenery and thriving trees. It's a testament to the power of collective action and the impact we can make on the environment. I feel proud to have been a part of this initiative.”
