Among other dignitaries, Swami Nijamritananda Puri (Administrative Director, Amrita Hospital), Dr Sanjiv Singh (Medical Director, Amrita Hospital), Br Mokshamrita Chaitanya (National Coordinator for AYUDH India, Youth wing of Mata Amritanandamayi Math), Br Harshamrita (Coordinator Amrita Hospital), Sh. Sandeep Giridhar (owner Modern DPS School), and faculty from St. Columbus school were also present

Hundreds of people enthusiastically participated in this seedball campaign launch, which included making the seedballs, starting with mixing of the soil and manure, till the final shaping up of the seedballs. Many local varieties of the seeds were used to prepare these seedballs. Among the crowd were, people from other CSOs and NGOs in and around Faridabad, employees of Amrita Hospital including many Doctors and Nurses, students and faculty of Amrita University, as well as students and faculty of adjoining schools.

In his address, Sh. Nagar said that, “This Seedball campaign started by Amma is a great initiative to restore our forest areas”. While talking about the infrastructure development and opportunities in his local area, he also said that, “Amma’s organization has always been doing activities for the welfare of the local area and due to Amrita Hospital, a lot of development is happening in the adjoining areas.”

Br. Mokshamrita made an appeal to all those present during this event to devote few hours of their time every day towards achieving the target of One million seedballs that has been set this year for this campaign. “It is extremely important that we understand the seriousness of the growing environmental problems. Issues like climate change and global warming can prove to be fatal for the whole world in the future. As global citizens it is our duty to do whatever we can to restore balance to nature. Making seedballs is a very simple way to give something back to other nature. Before the monsoon sets in, let us try our best to make maximum seedballs and encourage others in our communities and families also to come forward and participate in this seedball campaign. Let us be part of this global movement, join hands and spread the seeds of hope around the world, and lay a foundation for a better environment for our future generations.”, said Br. Mokshamrita, AYUDH National Coordinator.
