On the occasion of Earth Day, Purva Foundation, in collaboration with Max Healthcare Institute Limited, organized a “Talab Utsav” (Pond Festival)—a unique initiative held in Firozpur Kaithwadi village of Ghaziabad to promote the restoration of our natural heritage and community-led conservation.
A special highlight of the event was the deep connection among community members, who enthusiastically shared their thoughts on traditional practices of worshipping ponds and trees. Guided by the village elders, we were reminded that protecting our water, trees, and Mother Earth is not just a modern necessity, but also a responsibility passed down by our ancestors.
To honor this commitment, we planted 200 saplings of native species around the boundaries of the village’s restored pond, helping ensure a greener and more sustainable ecosystem for future generations.
Special thanks to the residents of Firozpur Kaithwadi for their participation and enthusiasm.
Sincere gratitude to Mr. Abhinav Gopal, Chief Development Officer, Ghaziabad, for serving as a guiding force in advancing such grassroots initiatives.
Let us continue to honor our traditions by protecting our environment.
