धरती को देना, सबसे पवित्र संकल्प है —’वसुधा वंदनम् संकल्पम्’ सिर्फ एक आयोजन नहीं, ये कृतज्ञता की कर्मभूमि है। – Kushal Dev Rathi
Some days are personal. Others are universal. 9th April 2025 is both — the 17th Foundation Day of our group and a reaffirmation of a deeper commitment: to our planet.
This year, we mark the day not with events, but with action. A plantation drive of 21,000 trees — not just as a gesture, but as a foundation of a grander mission: to plant 1 million trees in the next 5 years under our green oath — ‘वसुधा वंदनम् संकल्पम्’. A promise to give back to the roots, literally.
Why trees? Because they are not just symbols of nature — they are its most active protectors. Some trees do more than beautify; they oxygenate.
Here’s a powerful truth from a study by Nelda Foundation — the following trees are among the most oxygen-generating trees in India:
Top 15 Oxygen-Rich Trees in India:
1. Peepal (Ficus religiosa)
2. Neem (Azadirachta indica)
3. Banyan (Ficus benghalensis)
4. Ashoka (Saraca asoca)
5. Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna)
6. Bael (Aegle marmelos)
7. Jamun (Syzygium cumini)
8. Tamarind (Tamarindus indica)
9. Amla (Phyllanthus emblica)
10. Indian Almond (Terminalia catappa)
11. Gulmohar (Delonix regia)
12. Kachnar (Bauhinia variegata)
13. Kadamba (Neolamarckia cadamba)
14. Amaltas (Cassia fistula)
15. Drumstick/Moringa (Moringa oleifera)
These are not just trees. They are time-tested custodians of cleaner air, cooler shade, and ecological balance. When you plant any of these, you’re not just making a green choice — you’re investing in the planet’s future.
Our drive is a small but significant part of this mission. This is not a photo-op, it’s a pledge — rooted in our belief that urban farming is not a hobby, it’s a lifestyle. Every project under our vision — from SportsLand to Southend, from Delhi to Goa — embodies this ethos.
This Foundation Day, we’re not just celebrating how far we’ve come, but how consciously we wish to go forward.
Let’s make Earth a shareholder in our success.
Call to Action: 🌱 Be a part of ‘वसुधा वंदनम् संकल्पम्’.
Plant a tree. Plant your intent.
📸 Tag your tree with #urbanfarmer and tell the world — “I plant, I pledge.”
Because legacies are not built in boardrooms. They grow, leaf by leaf.
