Haryana is facing serious environmental issues, including plastic waste, air pollution, and deforestation. The state generates nearly 300 tons of plastic waste daily, much of which pollutes landfills and water bodies. With dense industries and heavy traffic, Haryana is also a major contributor to carbon emissions, worsening air quality and public health.

Adding to the crisis, only 3.6% of Haryana’s land has forest cover—far below India’s average of 21%—leading to biodiversity loss and reduced carbon absorption.

To secure a sustainable future, Haryana must act now through plastic recycling, afforestation, cleaner transport, and green urban development. Collective efforts today can restore ecological balance and protect health for generations ahead.

Our Initiatives

Environment and Sustainable Development isn’t just a goal—it’s a mission we live every day. As Green Warriors, we lead impactful initiatives aligned with global goals like SDG-6 (Clean Water & Sanitation), SDG-13 (Climate Action), and SDG-14 (Life Below Water).

From creating awareness to taking action, we work in both rural and urban communities across Faridabad, building sustainable habits, conserving resources, and promoting climate resilience. Whether it’s water conservation, waste management, tree plantation, or reducing pollution—we’re on the frontlines of change. Join us in protecting our planet and creating a greener, healthier future for all.

Plantation Drive

Trees and plants are vital for human survival, providing us with food, medicine, wood, paper, and countless other essentials. However, with nearly 15 billion trees cut down every year, deforestation has reached alarming levels—fueling climate change, destroying habitats, and causing soil erosion.

The Mega Plantation Drive is our annual tree plantation initiative dedicated to restoring green cover across Faridabad. By distributing and planting a wide variety of trees and plants in both rural and urban areas, the drive strengthens the district’s green belt, combats air pollution, supports biodiversity, and creates a healthier, more sustainable environment for future generations.

Raddi Recycling

In the last 40 years, global paper consumption has risen by 400%. Today, over 200 million trees are cut every day—that’s more than 4 billion trees annually—to produce notebooks, books, art supplies, packaging, and even currency. This excessive demand accelerates deforestation, leading to climate change, loss of biodiversity, and soil erosion.

The Raddi Recycling Initiative by the Dr. O. P. Bhalla Foundation addresses this challenge by collecting waste paper and cardboard from Manav Rachna campuses and recycling them into printed notebooks and stationery. These items are then distributed free of cost to underprivileged children, reducing waste, conserving trees, and promoting education.

Through this initiative, we turn discarded paper into tools of learning—benefiting both the environment and the community.

Nature Walk and Plog Run

In today’s fast-paced urban lifestyle, people are becoming increasingly disconnected from nature, leading to rising stress levels, reduced physical activity, and declining mental well-being. With limited access to green spaces, many miss out on the health benefits and sense of calm that natural environments provide. This disconnection has also reduced environmental awareness, making it vital to reintroduce habits that reconnect individuals with nature.

The Nature Walk & Plog Run Initiative bridges this gap by offering guided nature walks in serene, biodiverse settings combined with eco-conscious activities like plogging—jogging while picking up litter. These walks not only allow participants to relax, practice mindful breathing, and observe local wildlife, but also actively contribute to cleaner and greener surroundings.

Led by environmental experts and wellness guides, the sessions encourage fitness, mindfulness, and sustainability while fostering a deeper connection with the natural world. By blending nature walks with plog runs, the initiative promotes holistic well-being, raises awareness about ecological conservation, and inspires individuals to adopt sustainable living practices in their daily lives.

Eco Wall

Carbon emissions are rising at an alarming rate, driving global warming and accelerating climate change. In 2021, India emitted over 2.88 billion metric tons of CO₂, ranking as the world’s third-largest emitter. The consequences are severe—rising sea levels, extreme weather, poor air quality, and biodiversity loss.

To combat these challenges, sustainable solutions like Eco Walls are emerging as powerful innovations. Eco Walls are living green installations that function as natural air purifiers—absorbing carbon dioxide, releasing oxygen, and improving overall air quality. Beyond their environmental benefits, Eco Walls help regulate indoor temperatures, conserve energy, reduce noise pollution, and add aesthetic value to urban spaces.

By integrating green walls into homes, schools, offices, and public areas, communities can actively reduce their carbon footprint, support climate action, and create healthier, more sustainable cities.
