Children in Odisha's Kandhamal district are tying rakhis on trees to raise awareness and protect the environment.

A young student from Daringbadi, along with his friends, has caught the attention of many and has been making headlines in Kandhamal district for their unique way of spreading awareness about the importance of trees. These kids have come up with a brilliant idea of tying eco-friendly rakhis on trees, symbolizing the bond between brothers and sisters, and pledging to protect them.

The main brain behind this initiative is Ayushman Sahu, a bright student in Class VIII from the prestigious Odisha Adarsha Vidyalaya. He gathered his friends, Adyashree Sahu, Shyam Sundar Sahu, Piyush Kumar Digal, Rahul Sahu, Krishna Sahu, Archana Shobhasundar, Basant Nayak, and Bibhudas Gamang, and along with their guardians, Jharana Sahu and Prabhakar Sahu, they headed to the coffee garden in the wee hours of last Sunday.

Their first task was to conduct a clean-up drive in the area, and then they proceeded to tie eco-friendly rakhis on the trees. While doing so, they also took the opportunity to educate the tourists about the harmful effects of using single-use plastic and polythene. They stressed the importance of protecting trees, comparing it to how a brother protects his sister. They also emphasized the need to address climate change, which has led to unpredictable weather patterns and devastating natural disasters. Furthermore, the students encouraged the community members to join in their efforts and plant more trees in the area to preserve the environment.

Their efforts have not gone unnoticed, and on the occasion of the 78th Independence Day, students from various schools in Daringbadi block have been receiving appreciation for their hard work in cleaning up tourist areas. Not only have they made the area cleaner, but they have also taken part in tree planting activities and have successfully spread awareness about the environment.

It is heartening to see young minds taking such dedicated steps towards preserving our planet. Their small but impactful actions serve as an inspiration for all of us to do our part in protecting the environment. Let us all join hands and work towards a greener and cleaner future.
