Citizens Can Write A Tribute To Create A Forest in the Memory of Industrialist Ratan Tata
Dec 28, 2024
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 28: On December 28, 2024, the birth anniversary of the late industrialist and philanthropist, Ratan Tata, a special Grove will be launched in his memory overseen by social enterprise Grow-Trees.com. The idea was conceived by Geeta Gopalakrishnan who was for many years a honorary fundraiser for cancer patients at the Tata Medical Centre, Kolkata, an initiative close to Tata' s heart. The project is a collaborative effort where citizens can participate and write their tributes to the icon. As part of this citizen collaboration four lakh trees will be planted across 17 villages in Nainital and six in Almora, Uttarakhand. This extensive green cover is part of Grow-Trees.com's 'Trees+ for the Himalayas' plan and will be called the 'Ratan Tata Memorial Forest'.
