Prasiddhi, a young representative from Chennai, earned widespread appreciation for her remarkable participation at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, where she delivered a powerful address on safe, inclusive, and ethical AI for every child. Her work with UNICEF and Generation Unlimited, shaping the global mandate for safe AI by amplifying youth voices, has been hailed as truly inspiring. Congratulating her, Dr. K. Govindaraju, Founder and Director of SEVAI (Society for Education Village Action and Improvement), a Tamil Nadu Government awardee, expressed pride in her success and wished her continued achievements.

She visited SEVAI twice, planting trees at SEVAI Shanthi Matriculation Higher Secondary School and in Amoor when she was just 10 years old, and has received several top-level awards for her environmental projects by planting around 100,000 trees under the Prasiddhi Foundation. 🌹🌿 — Govin

Step by step tree growing process explained in SEVAI.

SEVAI grows healthy tree saplings and distributes them to farmers for planting under the SEVAI project. Project in-charge K. Sakthivel instructed field functionary Amala to emphasize quality plantation and tree raising, highlighting that tree plantation plays a vital role in environmental conservation. Healthy saplings are the foundation of successful plantation—they establish quickly, grow stronger, and survive stresses like drought, pests, and diseases. To plant them properly, choose healthy, disease-free saplings with strong roots and straight stems, preferably native species. Prepare the site by clearing weeds, rocks, and debris, then loosen the soil. Dig pits 2–3 times wider than the root ball, deep enough for roots, and space them 3–5 meters apart. Enrich the soil with compost, cow dung, or leaf mold, place the sapling upright, spread its roots, and fill with soil, pressing lightly to remove air pockets. Water immediately and continue regularly, especially in dry weeks. Add mulch to retain moisture, use tree guards if needed, and care for the saplings by watering, weeding, and monitoring for pests until they establish. 🌱

_Impact: Every healthy sapling planted today grows into a shield for tomorrow's environment._

Dignity of labour exemplified by ICHEC Business school Brussels.

The collaboration between ICHEC Business School students from Belgium and local skilled workers at SEVAI Allur, in building a community centre, beautifully exemplifies the dignity of labour. By working hands-on with masons, carpenters, and laborers, the students showed that every form of work—whether physical or intellectual—holds value and deserves respect. Their involvement broke stereotypes between "white-collar" and "blue-collar" jobs, highlighting humility, teamwork, and mutual appreciation. This partnership not only applied business knowledge but also nurtured stronger community bonds, proving that honest labour, in any form, builds both structures and solidarity.
