Green Delhi Campaign: Planting 10,000+ Native Trees with Student Volunteers
Key Insights & Highlights
  • 10,000+ native saplings (Neem, Peepal, Jamun, Amla) planted across community parks and government school campuses.
  • Geotagged monitoring system ensures over 85% sapling survival rate over 24 months.
  • Youth 'Green Guardians' assigned to every zone for weekly watering and organic weeding.

Combating Urban Smog with Native Micro-Forests

Delhi NCR's battle with Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PM10) is well documented. While policy changes take time, planting canopy-dense native trees offers immediate localized air filtration, temperature cooling, and groundwater replenishment.

Unlike random plantation drives where saplings wither away, Young India Show Foundation adopts the 'Miyawaki-inspired Urban Dense Forest' model with robust aftercare protocols.

The Green Guardian Program

For every tree planted in a school or community park, two local student volunteers are designated as 'Green Guardians'. Armed with watering schedules, organic compost, and regular growth check-ins, our volunteers ensure each tree takes root.

Our 2025-2026 audits confirmed an outstanding 87% survival rate—far above standard urban plantation benchmarks.

Planting a tree is an act of hope for the future. Nurturing it to adulthood is our responsibility to the next generation.
