About Us

While seeing my father planting 10000+ trees and developing mini urban forests in Delhi during this year of his presidency of Rotary Club of Delhi Rajdhani, I heard a lot from him on benefits of fruit bearing trees towards environment & providing shelter and food for a variety of birds and small animals, such as squirrels and beavers. Bacteria and fungi contained in tree’s parts cause decay which makes nesting easier for some birds and increases soil fertility and structure for furrowing by other land animals.

So when my College teacher asked us to work on an assignment, I was sure what’s in my mind. I was very much enthusiastic to further on my father’s plan of planting enormous trees across. Even my grandfather, for the last 20+ years, is quite motivated towards planting trees and has planted over 3000+ triveni’s (Neem + Peepal + Banyan) in nearby areas.

So I deliberated on the issue and discussed it with my Father. He added further to my thoughts and asked me to always think big. “Don’t just look at it as a project. Make something big out of it.” He said.

Then we both deliberated on the idea and here it is – plat-a-tree.in web-site.

Through this site, I am envisioned to create awareness about planting trees. I strongly believe that in the coming two years, my efforts should motivate enough students and people to reach 1 lac + tree plantation across India. 

The environment is one of Rotary’s seven areas of focus. District 3011 of Delhi NCR was working very strongly on planting tree and I found common interest served with the help of our DG Anup Mittal, Distt 3011 who very promisingly accepted the idea and gave his consent to collaborate and work through the network of clubs not only under District 3011 but also will help in taking it throughout the network of Rotary across India.

The association with Rotary District will help in promoting the concept and will help in encouraging people. I hope, with the help of Rotary District, not only to see more trees being planted, but also to inspire people to keep looking for more ways to make a difference and make their life more sustainable. This will help people in participating actively to have a greener environment for future generations. Use of social media will help people in inspiring, engaging and supporting other people to take personal responsibility for the environment.

I will further associate with NGOs, Societies, and Institutions to promote this cause and motivate further to plant-a-tree and participate in easing the burden of carbons generated by converting our forest lands into concrete jungle.

I humbly invite everyone to come forward. Register as a Greenie – The Eco Activist of The Future. Upload your photo while planting a tree with location. Once it is approved, you will be able to download your certificate and whoa you are a Greenie.

Not over yet! Once you become Greenie, you will be requested to promote the cause and your certificate across your social media and friends. Target is huge. We need everyone around to get associated with the cause.

Looking forward to have you on board!
