On January 11, 2024, a historic step was taken in Tiruppur to bridge the gap between ancient Tamil literature and modern ecological restoration. The Sangam Literature Botanical Garden was officially initiated as a collaborative green project by Vetry and the Tiruppur City Corporation.
This visionary effort is rooted in Sangam-era literary wisdom, which documents over 150 native trees, herbs, shrubs, and climbers. Carefully identified from classical texts like Tolkappiyam, Akananuru, Purananuru, Thirukkural, and Pattinappaalai, these species are now being cultivated and preserved within an urban green space.
With the support of Tiruppur City Corporation and driven by the Vetry , this movement is built on citizen engagement, environmental education, and active participation. The planting of saplings is more than a symbolic act it is a declaration that urban development and nature conservation can co-exist. Local residents are invited to take part in nurturing these green spaces. As the trees grow, so does the connection between the people, the land, and their cultural roots.

In a visionary effort to transform Tiruppur into a greener, more eco-friendly city, the Tiruppur Municipal Corporation has launched a large-scale environmental project in collaboration with the Vetry Trust under the Kadamba Vanam initiative.
As part of this mission, 75,000 saplings will be planted across all 60 wards of the Tiruppur Corporation. The project was launch at Alangadu area, along Nataraj Theatre Road in Ward 43, where 250 saplings were planted to mark the beginning of this green journey.
With an estimated project cost of ₹50 lakhs, this ambitious initiative is executed by the Vetry Trust, whose dedication to sustainable living and environmental management is at the heart of the Kadamba Vanam project. Vetry’s goal is not just to plant trees, but to plant awareness, responsibility, and a greener future for all.
The project aims not only to enhance urban greenery but also to create inclusive, nature-connected public spaces that promote well-being and biodiversity.
