Madikeri, Sep. 14: The 26th annual family hockey festival between Kodava families is being organized by the Chenanda family, who hail from Kokeri, in April-May next year.
The family has organized several activities as part of the hockey festival. One of these is the concept of “One Goal - One Plant” in which trees are planted in many places in the district with emphasis on environmental protection and nutrition. Accordingly, on Saturday, the first program of Chenanda Cup was a tree planting program in the divine forest of Korakotu Sri Ayyappa Temple in T. Shettigeri village. Chenanda family members, office bearers of Korakotu Ayyappa Temple, T. Shettigeri Kodava Pommakkad Koota members, NSS and NCC students of Gonikoppalu Cauvery College, NCC students of Virajpet Cauvery College and NCC students of Ponnampet Forest College participated in this program.
The family members said that initially about 1500 trees were planted in this area. Mahogany, hybrid jackfruit, beetroot, bamboo, violet, honne, banyan, arali, mountain neli etc. The trees were planted in the forest of Korakotu Devara. More than 400 people, including about 250 students and Chenanda family members, and the Pommakada Koota Temple Management Board of Shettigeri, were involved in the event.
About 400 matches will be played in the Koutu A Bika Hockey Tournament. More than two thousand goals are likely to be scored in this tournament. Accordingly, the organizers have planned to show environmental concern by planting trees in many places in the district right away, saying one goal - one tree.
