Tree Plantation : Tree is the handiest tool to combat Global Warming. It helps the earth in many manner and so man kind, too. We are very much in plantation and protection of trees. Last year, we distributed 30000 plants in Gandhinagar city and supported to plant another 30000 trees on 2nd of August (the birthday of the city). We have set a tradition to plant a sapling on occasions like birthday, marriage anniversary or as a memory of deceased loved ones.
