An environmental initiative
In a bid to combat air pollution and promote environmental sustainability RAC Meraki, RID 3011, has initiated Project Sanrakshan, focusing on environmental protection and conservation. Focused on increasing green cover and raising awareness, the initiative is a step towards improving Delhi’s air quality.
The first phase of the project, titled Taru Mitr (friends of trees in Hindi and Sanskrit), included a plantation drive on Friendship Day. In collaboration with the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), over 200 saplings were planted at the DDA Park, Govind Puri. “Trees play a vital role in filtering air pollutants and releasing oxygen, and the park caretakers have committed to nurturing the saplings to ensure their growth and long-term impact,” says club member Arushi Singh.
Beyond tree plantation, Project Sanrakshan also emphasises education with plans to conduct online sessions, physical drives, and student-focused activities. These efforts aim to build awareness about the importance of environmental conservation and inspire collective action for a cleaner, healthier city.
