Thuvakkam Explores Afforestation Partnership in Delhi NCR

Thuvakkam’s team met with TWEPL–Jindal’s Solid Waste Management Plant officials to explore afforestation collaborations across Delhi NCR.

Turning Plastic Waste into Green Rewards

We organised a Plastic Exchange Challenge to combat plastic pollution and promote responsible waste management. We collected approximately 20 kg of plastic bottles, engaging 18 members of the public with the support of 8 volunteers. Through our exchange initiative, participants received one seed pen for every 5 plastic bottles and one sapling for every 10 bottles, encouraging sustainable habits and cleaner public spaces.

Growing a Greener Kundrathur Through Plantation

We organised a plantation drive at Kundrathur Maha Nagar Phase I with the enthusiastic participation of 15+ Black Straw volunteers. Together, we planted 300 saplings to increase local green cover and promote environmental conservation. The initiative encouraged community participation, environmental awareness, and collective responsibility, with volunteers experiencing meaningful engagement in environmental action.

Building Ideal Communities Through Student Engagement

We partnered with St. Pious College to strengthen student engagement and promote community-driven social change through an MoU signing ceremony and an interactive session with 100 NSS students. We conducted “Build Your Ideal Community,” where students worked in 10 groups to identify real-life challenges related to environment, education, and community development and propose practical solutions. The activity encouraged critical thinking, teamwork, social responsibility, and youth leadership, empowering students to become active changemakers in their communities.
