Hyderabad: The Green India Challenge (GIC) is promoting the planting of Jammi (Prosopis cineraria) trees across Telangana. Their goal is to ensure this sacred tree grows in every village and temple.
Celebrating its fifth year, GIC has helped plant many Jammi trees in these locations over the last four years. The latest campaign began during Dasara at Sri Shankara Gurukula Veda Pathashala in Shamirpet and Sri Gayatri Veda Pathashala in Keesara. Students from these veda pathashalas actively participated, and the GIC team introduced the campaign poster.
Rajya Sabha MP Joginapally Santosh Kumar, the founder of GIC, leads the “One Jammi tree for every village and for every temple” initiative. As Telangana gets ready for Dasara Navaratri, a time when exchanging Jammi leaves symbolizes goodwill, the GIC has prepared over 10,000 Jammi saplings for free distribution to villages and temples.
