How dry Vijayapura wooed rain with 1.5 crore trees
Vijayapura, once India's second-most drought-prone district, has transformed into a green paradise thanks to the Koti Vruksha Abhiyan. Launched in 2016, this collective effort planted over 1.5 crore trees, significantly boosting green cover from a mere 0.17%. The successful campaign, marked by a high sapling survival rate, has led to positive environmental changes and aims for further expansion.
