The Constitution Club of India turned into a hub of hope and pride on Friday as Positive Barta hosted the National Awareness Conclave, celebrating one of the country’s most remarkable grassroots movements—the planting of one crore trees in just one year.
What started as an audacious dream soon blossomed into a nationwide people’s mission, driven by farmers, students, women entrepreneurs, and countless community volunteers. Together, they nurtured not only saplings but also the vision of a healthier and more sustainable India.
“This achievement is not only about numbers,” said Dr. Malay Pit, Founder & CEO of Positive Barta. “Every sapling planted is a symbol of care, courage and responsibility towards our planet. It is about reviving balance in our ecosystem and reaffirming our duty to future generations.”
A major highlight of the conclave was the spotlight on women entrepreneurs, who have been at the forefront of the movement. Many have established seed banks, launched eco-friendly businesses, and created sustainable livelihoods, showcasing how environmental action and social development can move hand in hand. “These women are not just supporting their families; they are transforming communities while becoming guardians of nature,” Dr. Pit added.
The event saw participation from distinguished leaders and thinkers, including Dr. Ayanjit Sen (defence forces trainer and academic), Dr. Parimal Kanti Mondal (policy strategist), Shri Sandeep Verma (Deputy Secretary, Ministry of Labour & Employment), Mr. Vaibhav Parashar (Director, Versol Solutions), and Dr. Suresh Singhvi (Co-Director, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital). Prominent journalists such as Mukesh Koushik (Dainik Bhaskar), S.H. Shams (Missile Express Group) and Arti Rai (senior television journalist) also joined the dialogue, underlining media’s role in shaping climate awareness.
Speakers across governance, academia, healthcare and media reinforced a common message—climate change cannot be tackled in silos; it demands collective effort across all sections of society.
The initiative has been remarkable for its grassroots strength. Thousands of young volunteers, teachers, doctors and social workers came together not only to plant trees but also to nurture them. “When I planted my first sapling, it felt like a prayer for the future,” recalled one volunteer. “Now, watching it grow, I feel part of something bigger than myself.”
Looking ahead, the conclave was not just a celebration but also a call to action. Organizers announced plans to expand the Green Mission by engaging more schools, institutions and communities, creating a self-sustaining cycle of environmental growth and social impact.
As the conclave concluded, it stood as a tribute to every farmer, student, woman entrepreneur and volunteer who contributed to the mission. The overarching message resonated clearly: collective compassion, courage and perseverance can build a greener, more inclusive India—where every sapling planted is a promise of life.
