In an exclusive conversation with us, Makarand Narwekar said, “As responsible citizens of the country it is an utter happiness and satisfaction to be able to conduct these plantation drives. The citizens who supported us also took an oath to opt for more sustainable alternatives. It is truly very important that one enacts this righteousness not only today but every day from now on!
