As a part of its pilot run, the team conducted its first workshop at a society (Prempark in Pimpri, Pune) on 15th May 2016. The families in the society were cooperative, enthusiastic and indeed nature lovers. Initially a brief introduction about Ayudh and Haritamritam was orated to them proceeded by a demo on how to plant the saplings, the organic way.

They were asked to fill their respective growbags (bags made from used flex in which the saplings were to be planted) under AYUDH member’s guidance.

Earth Day is an annual event, celebrated on April 22, on which day events worldwide are held to demonstrate support for environmental protection. It was first celebrated in 1970, and is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network and celebrated in more than 193 countries each year.

Haritamritam’, a Green Initiative by Ayudh Pune was inaugurated and blessed by our most beloved Amma by distributing the first NINE saplings to the Ayudh Team leaders during Amma’s Pune visit in March 2016. Amma says “Each family should plant a vegetable garden and should be able to eat vegetables grown organically at least once in a week. Even apartments residents can grow vegetables in window boxes and on terraces.

The core team of AYUDH members have been started visiting flats in a society for conducting awareness campaign for Haritamritam workshop registration. The first campaign is done at Prem Park Society, Pimpri-Chinchwad. This visit aims at getting maximum registration from this society so that the registrants can start making their own garden before the project launch.

A workshop was organized by the AYUDH team in order to train the Haritamritam Project coordinators. The workshop aimed to develop the knowledge and skills of coordinators on organic Gardening Technique so that they become experts to deliver similar workshops in societies. The demo and workshop was conducted by Mr Dhananjay Motaghare, Director at CAREOL SOLUTIONS.
