Agartala: September 6: The Constitution Club of India witnessed a landmark event as Positive Barta hosted the National Awareness Conclave, celebrating the remarkable success of planting one crore trees in just one year. What began as an ambitious goal has transformed into a powerful people’s movement, uniting farmers, students, women entrepreneurs, and community volunteers across India.
“This achievement is not merely about numbers,” emphasized Dr. Malay Pit, Founder and CEO of Positive Barta. “Each sapling planted represents care, courage, and responsibility towards our planet. It is about restoring ecological balance and fulfilling our duty to future generations.”
The conclave highlighted the indispensable role of women entrepreneurs who have driven the initiative at the grassroots level. By establishing seed banks, promoting sustainable livelihoods, and leading eco-friendly enterprises, women-led groups have demonstrated how environmental conservation and social development go hand in hand. “These women are not just supporting families; they are transforming communities while becoming guardians of nature,” Dr. Pit noted.
The gathering drew an impressive line-up of leaders and changemakers, including Dr. Ayanjit Sen, defence forces trainer and academic; Dr. Parimal Kanti Mondal, national leader and policy strategist; Shri Sandeep Verma, Deputy Secretary at the Ministry of Labour & Employment; Mr. Vaibhav Parashar, Director of Versol Solutions; and Dr. Suresh Singhvi, Co-Director of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital. Eminent journalists such as Mukesh Koushik of Dainik Bhaskar, S.H. Shams of Missile Express Group, and senior television journalist Arti Rai, also shared perspectives on how media can shape public consciousness around climate change.
The conclave underscored that tackling climate change requires integrated efforts across governance, academia, healthcare, law, and media. More importantly, it celebrated the spirit of grassroots participation, with thousands of youth volunteers, teachers, doctors, and social workers joining hands to nurture saplings and spread awareness.
For many, the initiative has been deeply personal. “When I planted my first sapling, it felt like a prayer for the future,” a young volunteer shared. “Watching it grow reminds me that I am part of something bigger than myself.” Such voices of commitment and hope echoed throughout the event, reinforcing the transformative power of small, consistent acts of care.
Looking ahead, Positive Barta announced plans to expand the Green Mission by engaging more communities, schools, and institutions. The vision is to create a self-sustaining cycle where every tree planted contributes to both environmental sustainability and social progress.
The conclave closed with a powerful message: collective action, compassion, and perseverance can shape a greener, more inclusive future. Every sapling planted is not just a tree, but a promise of life and hope for generations to come.
