PLANT WITH
PRIDE
Plant With Pride is a movement by Praaroop Foundation to help companies, schools, and communities plant trees together and track their growth.
Why is this needed?
Problem Statement
Our cities are growing fast, but we are losing our green cover. Fewer trees mean hotter summers, dirtier air, and less natural shade for everyone.
While many people want to plant trees, most plantation drives are one-day events. Without proper care and tracking, more than half of the saplings die within a few months. Plant With Pride changes this by helping organizations and citizens plant trees, track them digitally, and make sure they grow safely.
The Root Cause
Shifting the narrative from merely “planting” to actively “surviving” in urban ecosystems.
The Vanity Metric
Mass planting drives look incredible in photos, but over 50% of urban saplings die within months due to immediate neglect.
Hotter Cities
Indian cities are warming at unprecedented rates. We don’t just need seeds; we need permanent, green shade that lasts for years.
No Tracking
Normally, once you donate or plant a tree, you never know if it survived. There is no way to check back or see its growth.
Movement Positioning
Plant With Pride is more than just a tree-planting drive. It is a community platform where everyone can take ownership of their trees. By connecting schools, colleges, companies, and volunteers, we make tree care a shared habit.
Campaign Mission
Our mission is to help people plant native trees across India and make sure they survive. By using simple digital tracking and bringing communities together, we want to create a green cover that grows year after year.
The Ecosystem
Our continuous, high-accountability process flow ensuring each sapling reaches maturity.
Strong Native Trees
We select local Indian tree species like Neem and Jarul that are strong, need less water, and grow well in local weather.
Digital Mapping
Every tree planted is geo-tagged and given a unique QR code. You can see its exact location on our live map.
One-Year Care
We don't just plant and walk away. Our team checks the trees regularly, waters them, and adds nutrients to make sure they survive.
