A city-based NGO has organised a unique Ganesh idol competition with a green twist. Winners of this competition will receive plants and saplings, which will then be planted in a selected open space across Mumbai to enhance the city’s greenery.
“The winners of this competition will be rewarded with hundreds of native plants and tree saplings, along with trophies and e-certificates. We have identified several locations in Mumbai for this project, but will disclose one when we obtain approval. The Maharashtra government has also endorsed this project, and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis inaugurated the official competition poster,” said Ameet Sawant, founder of Panchmahabhute Foundation.
