He had launched the ‘Green Kalam’ project, a massive tree planting drive, in 2011 and had planted nearly 33.23 lakh saplings so far
Actor Vivekh was known for his environmental activism as much as his acting prowess. He had taken up tree planting as his life mission in deference to the wishes of his friend and former President of India APJ Abdul Kalam to campaign against global warming. He had launched ‘Green Kalam’ project, a massive tree planting drive, in 2011 and had planted nearly 33.23 lakh saplings so far and had targeted to plant one crore trees through Sai Prasanna Foundation that he had started in his son’s name. Vivek had travelled extensively across the State and spread awareness about global warming and environmental protection particularly among the student community. This staunch follower of Dr.Kalam was also involved in planting saplings through various initiatives of other organisations. One of his recent tree plantation activities was at the premises of Tamil Nadu Government Multi Super Speciality Hospital (TNGMSSH), Omandurar Government Estate in December last year.
