75,000 native trees donated to mark 75th Independence Day
To mark India’s 75th Independence Day celebrations, The Eco Factory Foundation (TEFF), a part of a non-profit organization has pledged to donate 75,000 native trees. TEFF has grown 37 varieties of Indian native tree saplings which were donated to corporates, schools, colleges and citizen groups to conserve biodiversity and convert barren land to fertile. The initiative started on August 15 last year and was completed by November 2022.
The foundation has also undertaken plant distribution and plantation drives at multiple locations and institutions and private farms willing to plant them. The foundation has four fundamental focus areas - Rural, Urban, Industrial and Individual sustainability with a mission.
