The Foundation joined hands with Jain Yuva Sangathan for this drive.
“We are happy to see the support of people to come forward and help us in this drive which is also aimed at increasing awareness about the drive. We would like to extend a vote of thanks to the city traffic police, BBMP, Mr. Roopchand Jain, President of Jain Yuva Sangathan and Mr. Pawan Kumar, The Chairman who have provided us their unrelenting support in this initiative and helped us raise awareness about the same. We hope in the coming time more and more people will join us and take this initiative forward”, said Braja Kishore Pradhan, Founder –Aahwahan Foundation.
The foundation is also cautiously using this drive to plant a lot of medicinal plants like Neem, Honge, Sampige, Asoka, Gulmohar, Badami, Raintree, Cherry etc in areas like public parks, both sides of the footpath, divider on roads and other free spaces with BBMP’s permission. The idea behind using specific varieties of plants is aimed at reducing or keeping in check the city pollution.

They aim to plant 10 million trees by the year 2025 across the country.
