Monsoon Mania : Tree plantation drives in this season

During 2011 season - June to August following organizations joined hands in planting trees on the Hilltop on Saturdays.
  • DIYA Foundation & Gayathri Parivar
  • Mahindra Engineering (gave monetary help)
  • Devdhar Classes (gave monetary help)
  • IBM India (expecting to receive a community grant)
  • JSPM's Rajarshi Shahu College of Engineering
Close to 500 new saplings were planted of following variety
  • Karvanda, Amba (Mango), Moha, Umber, Neem, Behda, Awla, Kadamba, Arjun, Tetu, Bel
Volunteers were involved not only in planting new trees but also in removing grass around the trees and putting manure to the trees planted in 2010. They also managed to disperse seeds and witness sprouting of different varieties like "Palas". As a matter of fact, "Plas" was growing at so man places that, we migrated a few small saplings to distant places as having them all grow in small vicinity would not have been possible..
