Beyond policy: Citizens take lead in India's green movement
Representative image Across India, individuals are emerging as key players in the country's growing environmental movement. From restoring forests to organising clean-up drives, these citizens are leading community-based efforts to address pressing ecological challenges through practical action and sustained commitment. Among them is Rajendra Singh, also known as the "Waterman of India" who is recognised for his work in water conservation. Similarly, Jadav Payeng, often referred to as the "Forest Man of India," has been planting trees for decades, transforming barren land into green cover. Sumaira Abdulali has consistently raised awareness about the environmental impacts of sand mining, focusing on the protection of coastal and riverbed ecosystems.

His early efforts to report illegal tree cutting in the Nilgiris district during his school years went unheeded, but he persisted. His work was also acknowledged by the Prime Minister in his 'Mann Ki Baat' address. Yoganathan was invited to the Independence Day celebrations at Rashtrapati Bhavan in 2023 and met the Prime Minister. Other individuals focus on sustainable living practices. Pankti Pandey promotes zero-waste lifestyles, and Aakash Ranison combines travel with climate awareness campaigns. Pandey has built an online community of over 4 lakh followers and advises companies on sustainability practices. Her work has earned her national awards, including recognition from the Prime Minister. In urban areas, citizens are creating awareness through platforms like social media. Bengaluru-based Vani Murthy is promoting composting and home gardening. Architect Nayana Premnath has designed sustainable homes and works with communities to promote greener living. Community clean-up efforts are another major area of focus. Ripudaman Bevli and Malhar Kalambe have led multiple clean-up drives across Mumbai, focusing on public spaces and coastal zones, respectively. Their consistent efforts highlight the role of civic engagement in addressing urban waste and pollution. Entrepreneurship and environmental media also feature in the movement. Prerna Prasad works in the sustainable business space, while Mike Pandey creates films focused on wildlife and nature conservation. Pradeep Sangwan has been leading mountain trail clean-up campaigns in northern India through his organisation Healing Himalayas. Since 2016, the initiative has removed over 1,600 tonnes of waste across 1,000 drives and established eight recovery facilities. It is now expanding its reach to the Chardham region to further responsible tourism. Tree-planting initiatives continue to gain traction through efforts such as the Give Me Trees Trust, founded by Peepal Baba (Swami Prem Parivartan). Starting as a personal initiative in 1977, the trust has evolved into one of India's larger community-based tree-planting movements. Environmental education and creative outreach are also part of the landscape. Pravin Mishra conducts workshops on terrace gardening and operates a nursery that supplies saplings to Delhi residents. His workshops and public campaigns aim to build awareness about the importance of urban greenery. Technological solutions are also being developed. Prachi Shevgaonkar launched the Cool The Globe platform, which enables users to track and reduce their carbon footprint. The initiative has reached over 110 countries and helped cut more than 2 million kilograms of emissions. Her work has been recognised by the finance minister under the "Young Changemaker of the Year" honour.
