Owing towards elusive monsoon we wanted to plant trees at places where they would be taken care of regularly and effectively.So we came up with an solution of distributing trees to the farmers.Planting trees with farmers atleast assured us that they would survive independently of how the monsoon is going to be.We thought of selecting the kind of trees which would excite farmers to surely take care of the them,so we were inclined to provide them with fruit trees like coconut,mango and lemon which would also generate some revenue for them.Mr.Balasaheb Jaganath Nalawade(H.O.D electronics depatment,Y.C.I.S) was of great help in this activity.He along with his brother surveyed the village and made list of farmers that had ably taken care of their previous plantation and made a list to whom the saplings
should be distributed.
We distributed total of 120 trees(60-coconuts,40-mango,20-lemon).Chetan Nalawade,Gautam Firodiya and Pushkar Firodiya of Me and Tree were well recieved
by the sarpanch Mr.Shankar Nalawade and the people of vetane.
