The iconic leader, former President of India, the missile man, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam’s death anniversary falls on 27th July. As a fitting tribute to that great soul, who strived for the humanity in general and the people of our nation in particular, we at Igniting minds have decided to restore and revive the green cover by planting trees all across the nation.
To make it interesting and a social activity, we have come up with the concept of ‘GREEN INDIA CHALLENGE’. We have coined a Slogan, ‘Hara hai toh bhara hai’ to take it forward and make it viral. The State Government of Telangana has come forward to encourage and support this cause as a part of its Haritha Haram Project.
Ms. Priyanka Verghese, – IFS, OSD to CM and Project Director for Haritha Haram, Government of Telangana accepted Igniting Minds’ Hara hai Toh Bhara Hai Challenge and planted 3 saplings in Medchal locality. In turn, she threw the Hara hai Toh Bhara Hai challenge at:
1. Smt Kavitha Kalvakuntla, MP
2. Smt. Smita Sabharwal, IAS, Secretary to CM, Telangana
3. Sri M.V. Reddy, IAS, Collector, Medchal District.
All of them accepted the challenge. Mr M.V. Reddy planted 3 saplings and passed on the challenge to
1. Hon’ble MP. Sri. Malla Reddy Garu
2. Shri. Mahesh Bhagavath IPS – Commissioner of Police – Rachakonda
3. V C Sajjanar IPS – Commissioner of Police – Cyberabad
Hara hai Toh Bhara Hai is a fun way of reversing the damage caused by deforestation.
