Viral Desai, widely celebrated as the 'Greenman of India,' has leveraged the festive occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi to launch a 10-day environmental awareness campaign, aptly named 'Tree Ganesha.' This year, thousands of students from local schools and colleges have joined the initiative.
The primary aim of the campaign is to educate young people about the importance of environmental conservation and sustainable living. Each student participating receives a sapling, symbolizing their commitment to a greener future.
