Your grandfatherplanted a tree.The chain breakswith you— unless.

India has lost 2.33 million hectares of forest since 2000. Every city summer is longer. Every monsoon, a little less predictable. The trees that should have been planted two decades ago weren't.

A native tree goes into the ground with someone's name on it — someone you love, someone you've lost, or simply yourself. It will outlive all of us.

Why Earth needs this — now

We are the firstgeneration thatknows.

Ahmedabad summers now routinely cross 47°C. The koel that used to call from your grandmother's neem tree starts earlier each year — because the tree it needs is gone. These are not abstractions. They are the texture of a childhood being erased.

Planting a tree won't stop climate change by itself. But it is the most direct, verifiable act available to a person in India right now. It cools the air. It holds water in the soil. It returns a corridor for the koel. And it lasts long after the motivation that planted it.

Vasna village · Kheda · Gujarat

Ten acres tended
every single morning

The farm in Vasna is not a plantation in any industrial sense. It is twelve people walking rows before sunrise, checking guards, pressing soil, noting which saplings need a second stake after last week's wind. It is slow, careful, physical work — and it shows in a 94% survival rate over three years.

Every tree planted here has a name — sometimes yours, sometimes your mother's, sometimes a name that can no longer answer when called. That is the kind of work we do.

On Maa's 60th, instead of flowers that fade, I gave her a mango tree on the Kheda farm. Every month, a photo arrives. She forwards it to all her sisters.

Eight years, one peepal. We drove down last December and sat under our own tree. It is barely as tall as us — but it will outlive us, and that is the point.

After Papa passed, we did not want a plaque. We wanted shade. The team helped us pick a banyan and chose the spot. We visit every Diwali.
