Green Drive in Sonitpur: Balijuri Students Plant 100+ Saplings to Beat the Heat

Guwahati: In an inspiring display of environmental responsibility, college students from Balijuri in Assam’s Sonitpur district have planted and distributed over 100 tree saplings across their village. Driven by growing concerns over rising temperatures, the youth-funded initiative aims to create a greener and cooler environment for their community.

What sets this effort apart is its grassroots nature—students pooled in their own pocket money, planned the entire drive independently, and actively engaged families by distributing saplings for home planting. Their commitment has not only beautified the area but also sparked conversations about local climate resilience.

Community leaders and residents have applauded the young changemakers, calling the initiative a model for other villages. With continued efforts like this, Balijuri could become a beacon of youth-led environmental action in the region.
