Dishi Kochuthara, and dedicated BSW students. Together, we are nurturing our coastal ecosystems!"

This Christmas, Team Grassroute and BSW students from Rajagiri School of Social Work took a unique approach to celebrate the festive season—by giving back to the environment. In a heartwarming initiative, volunteers and students came together to plant mangrove saplings along the Valiya Banarjee Canal in Nayarambalam, reinforcing their commitment to environmental sustainability. By restoring lost mangrove forests and creating awareness among coastal communities, this initiative not only enhances biodiversity but also strengthens the resilience of coastal areas against climate change.

From this moment of enlightenment, “Grassroute” emerged — a visionary endeavour dedicated to nurturing and preserving the ecological harmony of our cherished island home.
