With the State Government banning sale and bursting of firecrackers during this Diwali apprehending increase in Covid-19 cases due to air pollution, Bakul Foundation has renewed its 11-year-old campaign to gift plants with greater urgency.“There cannot be a better way to show we care during this pandemic than by gifting a plant,” said Sujit Mahapatra, founder of Bakul Foundation.
In 2019, the Bakul Foundation had a very good response, much better than previous years, and 550 plants had been collected for gift. This year, we hope more people will gift plants. Even, indoor plants for desks or plants inside house and in balcony are so significant to have even if one does not have space for a garden.
