With a rapid scale of urbanisation, degraded air quality and climate change, tree plantation is the only saviour. Leading environment NGO, Elite Foundation understands the need of the hour and has taken in its stride to make India a greener place by initiating tree plantation drive pan India. The organisation has pledged to plant 10 crore trees across India. The campaign that kick-started in July 2019, has already planted more than 20 lakh trees in 20 districts of Rajasthan within a month.

Mr. Virendra Agarwal, Founder Human Rights & Elite Foundation

Mr. Virendra Agarwal, Founder Human Rights & Elite Foundation spoke about the mission and said, “We have all heard the famous saying ‘You’re sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago,’ and this is the core value of Elite Foundation. Our main aim is to create awareness and sensitize people about the value and importance of our environment, environmental issues and its adverse impact on our lives. We wish to empower people to contribute to a sustainable and green world. We are covering the whole of Rajasthan at present and plan to enter many more states by the end of the year. I think the greatest service which can be rendered to any country, is to add a useful plant to its culture and we hope many people come and join us in this initiative.”
