Meet Maanya, a 21-year-old green changemaker from Chennai
Driven by her love for nature, Maanya turns everyday actions into meaningful environmental impact. Instead of discarding mango seeds, she carefully nurtures them into saplings, using repurposed curd containers as eco-friendly plant pots.
Over the past three years, she has gifted more than 250 trees to family and friends, inspiring greener lifestyles and helping create healthier spaces, including at her father’s factory in Chennai.
Maanya’s journey is a powerful reminder that small, sustainable actions can make a lasting difference. A true ambassador for the environment, she proves that age is no barrier to creating positive change.
