1.36 Cr Saplings Planted In 2024–25 Under Cauvery Calling

1.36 Cr Saplings Planted In 2024–25 Under Cauvery Calling

Envisioned by Sadhguru, the Cauvery Calling movement enabled the plantation of 1.36 crore saplings across 34,000 acres in the Cauvery basin during 2024–25. 
To date, a total of 12.2 crore saplings have been planted, supporting 2.38 lakh farmers in adopting tree-based agriculture. Remarkably,  last year alone, 50,931 farmers and citizens actively participated in this large-scale ecological effort.
Sadhguru had earlier shared on X, "#CauveryCalling will demonstrate to the world that it is possible to change the terrain of degraded Land by taking planned & strategized Action. Everyone who is nourished by Soil & Water must be a part of this Movement. Let Us Make It Happen."
Reflecting on the achievement, Anand Ethirajalu, Project Director of Cauvery Calling and representative of the Save Soil movement, emphasized the urgency of soil regeneration– one of the key objectives of the movement.
The Cauvery Calling production centres include a nursery in Cuddalore, one of the world’s largest single-site nurseries, entirely run by women, with a capacity to produce 85 lakh saplings. Together with the nursery at Thiruvannamalai, which produces 15 lakh saplings, these centres form the backbone of the initiative.
These nurseries supply 40 distribution centres across Tamil Nadu and 10 centres in Karnataka. Together, these nurseries offer 29 high-value timber species, including Teak, Red Sandalwood, Rosewood, and Mahogany at a subsidized rate of Rs. 3 per sapling. The Nursery at Sadhguru Sannidhi Bengaluru also reached a significant milestone of enabling plantation of 1,00,000 saplings since its inception in December 2023. At present, it has enabled the plantation of over 1.3 lakh saplings.
