Forty villages, 120 volunteers and one monsoon: the Green Villages drive crossed 42,000 saplings with an 84% survival rate.
Every sapling in the Green Villages program has a name — the child who planted it and promised to water it.
That simple idea, borrowed from a school in Bhagwanpur, is why our survival rate is double the state average.
The next phase adds fruit trees so that the forest also feeds the families who grow it.
