Meeting with Leander Paes – A Moment of Inspiration

Had the privilege of meeting the legendary Leander Paes.

From Kolkata’s lanes to global tennis glory, his journey and vision for public life were truly inspiring.

We presented plant saplings as a symbol of our commitment to the environment.

He appreciated our message “Nurture the Nature” and also loved the thought behind Concern for Earth.

*Meeting with Leander Paes – A Moment of Inspiration*

It was truly a Wonderful and Inspiring Experience meeting Legendary *Leander Paes.*

During the interaction, he shared insights from his remarkable journey — from his early days in the lanes of Kolkata to becoming a global tennis champion, and now stepping into public life with a vision for contributing to society.

On this occasion, we had the privilege of presenting plant saplings to him, along with other dignitaries, symbolising our Commitment towards Environmental Responsibility.

The discussion also touched upon the current situation in West Bengal and the collective need to work towards meaningful improvement through awareness, participation, and responsible action.

A special highlight of the interaction was when Leander Paes took note of the message printed on the plant bag — *“Nurture the Nature.”* He appreciated the thought behind it and emphasised how such simple yet powerful messages can create lasting impact.

He also expressed his appreciation for the name of our organisation, *Concern for Earth*, calling it thoughtful and meaningful — a reflection of the intent and purpose behind our work.

Overall, the meeting was not just an interaction, but a moment of motivation that reinforces our belief that *Small, Consistent Efforts can lead to significant change.*

Had a wonderful Sunday, 12.4.2026, Morning with the Clean Kolkata drive at the Maidan.

Over 50 volunteers came together and removed over 60 bags of garbage from the area.

While the effort was satisfying, it also reminds us how much more civic sense we need to build as citizens of Kolkata.

Let’s hope we all become a little more responsible towards our city.

*Cleaning once is an effort, but maintaining cleanliness is a mindset and we need to change the mindset*
