Children planting saplings at a school in Uttar Pradesh under the Team Balika initiative<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over 4,700 youth volunteers came together to plant 6000 tree saplings on the occasion of International Youth Day<\/em><\/p>\n

New Delhi (India), August 16:<\/strong> Educate Girls, a non-pro\ufb01t organisation committed to working with marginalised communities to promote girls\u2019 education in rural India, organised a plantation drive to mark International Youth Day on August 12, 2023. Undertaken by its devoted team of community volunteers, known as Team Balika, the theme of this impactful initiative was \u2018Ek Pedh Balika Shiksha ke Liye\u2019 translating to \u2018A Tree for Girls\u2019 Education\u2019, aligning seamlessly with this year\u2019s overarching theme of \u201cGreen Skills for Youth: Towards a Sustainable World\u201d.<\/p>\n

The plantation drive saw over 4,700 Team Balika members planting over 6000 tree saplings across the states of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh. In addition to highlighting the importance of girls\u2019 education, this initiative by Educate Girls also aimed at drawing focus towards its role in fostering sustainability and combating climate change.<\/p>\n

As part of the event, volunteers not only planted trees but also engaged in informative sessions about the importance of green practices, encouraging sustainable behaviour in local communities. The drive aimed to sensitise young minds about the environment\u2019s fragility and the critical role they play in its preservation.<\/p>\n

The \u201cEk Pedh Balika Shiksha ke Liye\u201d initiative highlights how the connection between girls\u2019 education and the promotion of sustainability and climate change mitigation is unequivocal, and how educated girls rise as formidable catalysts for tackling these issues. With access to quality education, these girls can go on to attain a heightened capacity to propel innovation and promote eco-friendly practices, thereby bringing about transformation within their communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur \u201cEk Pedh Balika Shiksha ke Liye\u201d initiative goes beyond the act of planting trees. It aims to instil environmental sensitivity in young people, promote green skills and draw attention to how education and sustainability are interdependent. Our Team Balika \ufb01rmly believes that an educated girl signi\ufb01es more than just an empowered individual; she is a catalyst for positive transformation within her community and the world at large,\u201d stated Vikram Singh Solanki, Head of Field Operations, Educate Girls. \u201cEmbracing the profound theme of \u201cGreen Skills For Youth\u201d on this year\u2019s International Youth Day, this drive strongly resonates with our commitment to driving change, as we collectively contribute to a better world for generations ahead,\u201d he further added.<\/p>\n

Sunita Devi, Team Balika, Prayagraj District, shared her motivation for the initiative \u201cEvery individual has a duty to plant a tree in their life and take care of it. By planting trees in larger numbers, we can conserve the environment. Due to continuous deforestation, environmental pollution is increasing. Through this initiative, we will create awareness in society for both girls\u2019 education and a greener future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Founded by visionary leader Safeena Husain in 2007, Educate Girls is a non-pro\ufb01t organisation committed to bridging the gender gap and mobilising communities for girls\u2019 education in India\u2019s rural and educationally backward areas. Working in partnership with the government, Educate Girls currently operates in over 21,000 villages of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.<\/p>\n
