New Delhi (India), June 5: Through the principles of ‘Satyagraha’ and ‘non-violence,’ Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel inspired thousands of people to become “Freedom Fighters.” They bravely led the freedom struggle movement against the might of the British Empire. It’s wonderful to see that, exactly 100 years later, another young Gujarati textile entrepreneur has adopted a similar strategy to prepare ‘Paryavaran Senani’ (Environmental Warriors) from Surat schools and colleges to combat Global Warming and Climate Change.
Meet Viral Desai, aka Greenman, who has launched a campaign against global warming and climate change through his ‘Satyagraha Against Pollution and Climate Change’ movement in Surat and has received the highest honours from the Governments of India and Gujarat.
Greenman Viral Desai and his NGO ‘Hearts At Work’ went above and beyond to plant over 3.5 lakh trees throughout the city and collaborated closely with the Indian Railways to achieve the record of transforming Surat’s Udhana Railway Station into the “First Green Railway Station in India, Asia, and the World.”
