Judicial Member, National Green Tribunal,Southern Zone, Chennai by planting
trees and free distribution of saplings to students at Dr. MGR Home &

V. Usha, T. Viswanath, R. Sridharan, Ms. Abhirami (Exnora Greater Chennai).
Participated in the event.
Justice Jyothimani said ‘Chennai’s green cover was already less
than what is required and stood at about 6%. The devastating cyclone had
further reduced the green cover by 2% and it presently stands at around 4%.
There is therefore immediate need to increase the green cover to compensate for
this huge loss. Tree planting is the only solution and everyone should take up
this as their personal responsibility to increase the green cover, so that we
will leave a better world for our children. Students and youth should be
actively involved so that they can enthusiastically participate in this great
task’. He further added that Exnora has been carrying out several environmental
and social activities for more than 25 years and it is commendable that they
have decided to concentrate only on Re-Greening Chennai during 2017.
More than 250 students and teachers were participated in this
event and took oath to contribute to the Re-Greening activity throughout the
year.
