Tree Plantation by Padma Shri Dr. Vivek
Tree Plantation by Padma Shri Dr. Vivek
We began as a humble tribute to Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Vanathukkul Tiruppur (VT), took root with a goal to plant One Lakh Trees. Today, the vision has blossomed into a powerful green movement with 22 Lakh trees planted across Tiruppur and we’re still growing strong.
Tiruppur, India’s Knitwear Capital, has seen rapid industrial growth since the 1970s. While it brought economic progress, it also led to shrinking water bodies, poor air quality, and rising pollution levels.
To counter these effects, Vetry’s launched Vanathukkul Tiruppur as its mass tree plantation campaign in 2015, not just as an environmental initiative, but as a climate action movement to rebuild the ecological balance, protect biodiversity, and strengthen community resilience.
Mr. M. S. M. Anandan – Hon. Minister of Forests, Mr. Govindarajan, IAS, District Collector, Tiruppur and Mr. S. N. Seshasai, IPS, Commissioner of Police, Tiruppur.
Vanathukkul Tiruppur is more than a tree-planting project it is a citizen-led climate action movement. In our 25 years journey of social service, we’ve transformed empty lands into green lungs for the city and built a model for sustainable urban development. Together, we are not only greening Tiruppur we are combating climate change, empowering communities, and creating a healthier planet for the generations to come. Let the roots of every tree planted today carry the strength of our commitment to a better, greener future.
