பஞ்சப்பட்டியில் கிரீனிங் இந்தியா–SEVAI வேளாண் காடுகள் திட்டத்தில் இணைந்த விவசாயிகள்*  

_கிருஷ்ணராயபுரம் வட்டம், கரூர் மாவட்டம் | 13 ஏப்ரல் 2026_

13 ஏப்ரல் 2026 அன்று, கரூர் மாவட்டம் கிருஷ்ணராயபுரம் வட்டம் பஞ்சப்பட்டி பகுதி கிராமங்களில் ஒரு பசுமைப் புரட்சி உருவாவதைக் காண முடிந்தது. கிரீனிங் இந்தியா–SEVAI அமைப்பு செயல்படுத்தும் _வேளாண் காடுகள் திட்டத்தில்_ ஏராளமான விவசாயிகள் முறைப்படி இணைந்தனர். ஜூன் 2026 முதல் தங்கள் விவசாய நிலங்களை காலநிலைக்கு ஏற்ற, வருமானம் தரும் சூழல் அமைப்புகளாக மாற்ற உறுதி ஏற்றனர். *இத்திட்டத்தில் பங்கேற்கும் விவசாயிகள் நடவு செய்யும் மரங்களை 40 ஆண்டுகள் வரை தொடர்ந்து பராமரித்து வளர்க்க ஒப்புக்கொண்டுள்ளனர்.*

*பசுமையான நாளைக்கான மக்கள் இயக்கம்*  

பஞ்சப்பட்டியில் நடைபெற்ற பதிவு முகாமில் சிறு, குறு விவசாயிகள் ஆர்வத்துடன் பங்கேற்றனர். மரம் வளர்ப்பை விவசாயத்துடன் இணைக்க விரும்பிய அவர்களுக்கு, SEVAI களப்பணியாளர்கள் மற்றும் கிரீனிங் இந்தியா தோட்டக்கலை வல்லுநர்கள் வழிகாட்டினர். கரூர் மண் மற்றும் காலநிலைக்கு ஏற்ற பழ மரங்கள் மற்றும் வறட்சி தாங்கும் மர வகைகள் — தேக்கு, மகோகனி, நெல்லி, மலைவேம்பு — அறிமுகப்படுத்தப்பட்டன.

பருவமழை மாறுபாடு மற்றும் நிலத்தடி நீர் குறைவால், ஒரே பயிர் சாகுபடி இனி நிலையானது அல்ல. வேளாண் காடுகள் இதற்கு சிறந்த தீர்வு: பண்ணை மரங்கள் மண் வளத்தை பெருக்கும், நீரை சேமிக்கும், பயிர்களுக்கும் கால்நடைகளுக்கும் நிழல் தரும், மேலும் மரம், பழங்கள், மற்ற வனப் பொருட்கள் மூலம் கூடுதல் வருமானம் தரும். பஞ்சப்பட்டி பகுதி விவசாயிகளுக்கு இது இன்றைய ஆபத்தைக் குறைத்து, நாளைய செல்வத்தை உருவாக்கும் வழி.

*SEVAI-யின் முழுமையான ஆதரவு*  

இத்திட்டம் வெறும் கன்றுகள் வழங்குவதோடு நிற்கவில்லை. கிரீனிங் இந்தியா–SEVAI முழு ஒத்துழைப்பு வழங்குகிறது:  

1. *தொழில்நுட்ப பயிற்சி*: இடம் தேர்வு, குழி அளவு, இடைவெளி, இயற்கை உர பயன்பாடு மற்றும் பூச்சி மேலாண்மை.  

2. *தரமான கன்றுகள்*: சான்றளிக்கப்பட்ட நர்சரிகளில் இருந்து ஆரோக்கியமான கன்றுகள் மானிய விலையில் வழங்கப்படும்.  

3. *நடவு ஆதரவு*: பருவமழை தொடங்கும் ஜூன் 2026-ல் கள ஒருங்கிணைப்பாளர்கள் நடவுப் பணியை மேற்பார்வையிடுவர்.  

4. *தொடர் கண்காணிப்பு*: விவசாயிகள் மரங்களை 40 ஆண்டுகள் பராமரிக்க தொடர் தொழில்நுட்ப ஆலோசனை மற்றும் கண்காணிப்பு வழங்கப்படும்.

*களத்திலிருந்து குரல்கள்*  

“மழை நிச்சயமில்லை. நிலத்தில் மரம் இருந்தா, வறட்சி வந்தாலும் வருமானம் கிடைக்கும். 40 வருஷம் காப்பாத்தினா என் பேரப்புள்ளைக்கும் சொத்து,” என்றார் 2 ஏக்கரில் பதிவு செய்த பஞ்சப்பட்டி பகுதி விவசாயி ஒருவர்.

*கரூரில் ஆயிரக்கணக்கான மரங்களை நோக்கி*  

பஞ்சப்பட்டி பதிவு, கரூர் மாவட்டம் முழுவதும் ஆயிரக்கணக்கான மரங்களை நடும் கிரீனிங் இந்தியா–SEVAI-யின் பெரிய இலக்கின் ஒரு பகுதி. ஜூன் 2026 நடவு இயக்கத்தில் ஆயிரக்கணக்கான கன்றுகள் வேரூன்றும். 40 ஆண்டுகால பராமரிப்பு மூலம் இவை கார்பனை உறிஞ்சி, பல்லுயிர் பெருக்கத்தை மீட்டு, கிராமப்புற வாழ்வாதாரத்தை பாதுகாக்கும்.

ஒரு கள ஒருங்கிணைப்பாளர் கூறியது போல், “நாங்கள் மரங்களை மட்டும் நடவில்லை. 40 ஆண்டு ஓய்வூதியத்தையும், அடுத்த தலைமுறைக்கு சுத்தமான காற்றையும் நடுகிறோம்.”

Zomoto Greening India -SEVAI convenes Pivotal Leaders Meet to Accelerate Agro Forestry Expansion ☀️

The pulse of rural transformation beat strong at Trichy’s Kalaiarangam Conference Hall, where _Zomato Greening India_ and _SEVAI_ orchestrated a high-impact consultative meeting of field-level opinion leaders to chart the next frontier of agroforestry in Trichy and Karur districts. With over 50 influential voices in the room, the dialogue was decisive and the resolve, unanimous: take the movement to the grassroots.

The assembly resolved to launch intensive block-level farmers’ meets, designed to spark awareness and fast-track the onboarding of eligible cultivators under the _Zomato Greening India – SEVAI Agroforestry Program_, in strict alignment with the project’s established norms. 

Setting the tone, SEVAI Director Mr. K. Govindaraju warmly welcomed the gathering and shared compelling insights from the 2025–26 implementation phase, where thousands of saplings turned hundreds of farm holdings into emerging green assets. Building on that momentum, key functionaries of _Zomato Greening India_, Mr. Glaison Cheriyan and Mr. Sathis, unveiled the program’s vision and roadmap through a crisp PowerPoint presentation, outlining both impact and intent.

The meeting concluded with a firm commitment: extend this quality-driven agroforestry initiative to every remaining village in the target blocks, ensuring no willing farmer is left behind. From conference hall to farmland, the message was clear — the next 40-year legacy begins now, one village at a time.🌿 Govin 

Zomoto Greening India -SEVAI cultivating Legacy, Agro Forestry initiative 🌿

Where vision meets the soil, transformation takes root. In partnership with _Zomato Greening India_, SEVAI is redefining the rural skyline of Trichy, Karur, and their neighbouring districts through a bold, 40-year Agroforestry mission. This is not a fleeting green campaign. It is a generational covenant with the land.

The program is designed for farmers who hold fenced, water-secure fields and the resolve to grow more than crops — to grow futures. At deeply subsidized costs, SEVAI delivers an elite orchard-to-forest palette: high-yielding mango, coconut, guava and lemon saplings woven together with premium timber giants like teak and mahogany. But the promise runs deeper than seedlings. Each farmer receives complete agronomic stewardship — from scientific pit design and precision planting to tailored manure support and hands-on training. The goal is singular: nurture trees that thrive for four decades, turning every acre into a living bank of fruit, timber, carbon, and climate resilience.

On the ground, the field functionaries of _Zomato Greening India – SEVAI_ stand shoulder-to-shoulder with farmers, offering relentless technical guidance from planting day to maturity. The results already speak. Last year alone, thousands of saplings took root across hundreds of farm holdings in Trichy and Karur, transforming once-barren margins into breathing canopies of hope.

Now, the green frontier expands. The mission rolls into the remaining blocks of Trichy, Karur, and surrounding districts, inviting every eligible farmer to join this legacy project. If you hold clear title, assured water, and a 40-year vision, the pathway is simple: enroll at SEVAI’s office in the Kalaiarangam premises, Trichy, or connect with the project functionaries in your block. Only certified, high-quality seedlings are supplied — because legacies deserve the best start.

*Plant today. Prosper for generations.* With Zomato Greening India and SEVAI, your land becomes more than farmland. It becomes a forest of income, a shield against climate change.🌿Govin

Trichirapalli District Welfare Fund Committee -A Legacy of Service since 1962.

Trichy Birds Park, Children enjoy their holidays, Around Rs.6 crore invested for Trichy birds park under N N scheme

 🙋

Trichirapalli District Welfare Fund Committee.

Nestled within the historic Kalaiarangam Complex, just a stone’s throw from Trichirapalli Central Bus Stand, the _Trichirapalli District Welfare Fund Committee_ has stood as a quiet yet formidable pillar of public service since 1962.

For over six decades, this institution has transformed community goodwill into tangible impact. Its lifeblood flows from two enduring sources: the revenue generated by its two Kalyana Mandapams, and a dedicated share from the vibrant Trichy Birds Park. Not a single rupee is diverted. Every coin earned is meticulously channelled into the welfare of those who need it most.

*Where the Funds Flow*  

The Committee’s mission is etched in compassion and clarity:  

- *Educational Empowerment:* Scholarships and support for deserving, underprivileged students who dare to dream beyond their circumstances.  

- *Lifesaving Care:* Swift financial assistance for emergency healthcare, because a medical crisis should never become a financial catastrophe.  

- *Youth & Sports:* Nurturing tomorrow’s champions by promoting sports and physical well-being among the district’s youth.  

- *Dignity for All:* Sustained support for differently-abled persons and needy senior citizens, ensuring they live with dignity, not dependence.

*Leadership with Purpose*  

Steered by the District Collector of Trichirapalli as its Chairperson, the Committee blends administrative vision with civic spirit. Eminent non-officials serve alongside, bringing grassroots insight and accountability to every decision.

*Investing in Futures: TRACE*  

Beyond financial aid, the Committee builds futures from the ground up. Within the same Kalaiarangam premises, it runs the _Trichy Academy for Competitive Examinations – TRACE_, a fully free coaching centre for aspirants of government service. Here, ambition meets opportunity, and young minds are sculpted for public duty – at no cost to them.

*The Engine Behind the Mission*  

Powering this legacy is a lean, dedicated team of five full-time staff, led by an able Manager and supported by committed personnel. They are the unseen hands that turn revenue into relief, policy into people-first action.

In an age of fleeting initiatives, the Trichirapalli District Welfare Fund Committee endures – not for profit, not for publicity, but for people. A living testament to what sustained, selfless governance can achieve, year after year, since 1962.🌹Govin

Greening the Future: Zomato Greening India & SEVAI's Agro Forestry Mission

Fruit trees Saplings Distributed to Farmers by Field Functionaries 

In a bold stride towards climate resilience and rural prosperity, *Zomato Greening India* has joined hands with *SEVAI, Trichy* to cultivate a greener tomorrow across Trichy, Karur, and adjoining districts. This ambitious agroforestry drive empowers farmers to transform their land into thriving, income-generating ecosystems while safeguarding the environment.

Farmers with secured water access and fencing can now plant premium fruit and timber species—mango, guava, coconut, teak, mahogany, and more—on their own soil at highly subsidised rates. Beyond saplings, SEVAI delivers end-to-end expertise: scientific pit preparation, scientific planting techniques, efficient irrigation systems, and hands-on training in  manure application and soil health management to ensure robust growth from day one.

This is more than a plantation scheme—it’s a 40-year investment. Agroforestry unlocks multiple dividends: steady long-term income from fruit and timber, enriched soil fertility, reduced erosion, replenished groundwater. Each tree planted is a step toward sustainable agriculture and a shield against climate change.

The mission is already bearing fruit. During 2025–2026, Zomato-SEVAI successfully established thousands of trees across hundreds of acres, partnering with farmers in key blocks of Trichy and Karur. Building on this momentum, the program is now expanding its green footprint to new blocks across the region.

*Are you ready to grow with us?*  

If you own land with clear title and year-round water, and can pledge to nurture these trees for at least 40 years, SEVAI invites you to be part of this green legacy.

"OZONE Honours Two Luminaries: Arivu Sudar Mamani and Maruthuva Sudar Awards Conferred "

On 25 April 2026, the South Zone Board of Continuing Education – OZONE – transformed Kalaiaarangam Conference Hall, Tiruchirappalli, into a tribute to word, work, and healing, honouring two distinguished changemakers. Thiru. V. Jawahar Arumugam received the _Excellence Golden Jubilee Award, ‘Arivu Sudar Mamani’_ for his fearless journalism, evocative books, and grassroots change through his NGO, while Dr. M. S.

This honour belongs to everyone who trusted me with their story, and to every person who taught me that dignity is earned through hard work, not given.” Calling the award “a loan for the future, not a garland for the past,” he stressed that “Truth will give quality of life improvement” — the creed guiding his pen and fieldwork. “Awards fade, but a child reading under a streetlight, a mat that pays a mother’s wage, a line of truth that halts a wrong — those are the only medals that matter.” The hall rose, applauding not a ceremony closed, but a mission renewed.

"Korai Mat Weaving: Grassroots Gold"

Born from the marshes of the Cauvery delta, the _korai pai_ is Tamil Nadu’s answer to sustainable living. Harvested, split, and sun-dried, korai reed is dyed with turmeric and indigo, then woven by women on simple looms into mats that breathe — cool in summer, warm in winter. Each mat carries centuries of geometry, memory, and zero plastic. *At SEVAI’s Kalanjium Amoor centre, rural women produce these mats*, turning local wetland grass into livelihood. The revival is here: SEVAI and designers now turn korai into yoga mats and table runners; government schemes support modern looms and natural dye units; green buyers pay for carbon-negative craft. The korai mat isn’t just what you sleep on — it’s wetland saved, woman employed, heritage earned. The _korai_ reed bends but doesn’t break, and neither should this craft.☀️🌷☀️

"National Panchayat Raj Day: Democracy in your Backyard "

Every April 24, India celebrates the day power came home. In 1993, the 73rd Amendment gave villages a Constitution and a voice — 2.6 lakh Gram Panchayats became the government nearest to 65% of Indians. This isn’t paperwork democracy. It’s the sarpanch fixing your borewell, the ward member mapping your street light, the woman president defending your village budget. With 14 lakh elected women and 50% reservation in Tamil Nadu, panchayats turned _Gram Swaraj_ from slogan to schedule. From MGNREGS to Jal Jeevan, from noon-meal centres to fruit trees on Trichy–Karur bunds, real change is planned under a neem tree, not in a Delhi hall. Yet power still trails responsibility — funds delay, staff shortages hurt, and Gram Sabhas need louder voices. National Panchayat Day isn’t a garland function. It’s a reminder: Viksit Bharat 2047 runs on strong panchayats. Because _ஊர் கூடித் தேர் இழுக்க வேண்டும்_ — the chariot moves only when the whole village pulls together.🌹Govin🌷

"World Book Day: Still Tuning Pages in 2026"

"World Book Day: Still Turning Pages in 2026*- K.Govindaraju, SEVAI

Every April 23, UNESCO reminds us why books refuse to fade. In an age of AI prompts, 15-second reels, and infinite scroll, books are a quiet rebellion — analog time machines that put you in conversation with Shakespeare, free of paywalls and algorithms. Six minutes with a page cuts stress sharper than music and rebuilds the focus our feeds keep fracturing. From the palm-leaf wisdom of _Thirukkural_ to Mahakavi Bharathi’s fire, Tamil literature proves its staying power. Bharathi turned books into weapons, using _Kannan Paattu_, _Panchali Sabatham_, and his fierce essays to ignite freedom, equality, and reform when silence was safer. We composed epics while much of the world was still learning its alphabet, and he made sure we kept writing when empires demanded quiet. So skip the paper-versus-pixel debate. Read 20 minutes, gift one book to someone who’d never buy it, step into a library and breathe, start a three-person book club over tea. Books don’t ping or autoplay. They wait — patient, certain that depth outlasts distraction. As Valluvar said: _Learn what’s worth learning, then live it._🙋 Govin

Social Responsibility for Community Development

Social responsibility is not charity. It is the conscious choice to use what we have — our time, our skill, our knowledge — to uplift the community around us. When a graduate teaches coding to children in his own lane, when residents come together to adopt a school library, or when a social worker ensures a health scheme reaches the last house on the street, development becomes real.  

True progress begins when the torch of knowledge passes from one hand to many. Start with one issue. Partner with others. Involve the youth. And measure lives changed, not merely events held.  

Degrees earn respect. Service builds legacy. When responsibility guides action, communities do not just grow — they learn to stand on their own.☀️Govin

"Aathichuvadi in Statue: Avvaiyar's Values at SEVAI Natesan Primary School in Mettumarudur"

SEVAI Natesan Govt Aided Primary School, established in *1947* in Mettumarudur near Kulithalai, fixed its *Avvaiyar statue after minor renovation in 2026*. For the  primary students here, Avvaiyar is a daily guide to character through her _Aathichudi_: _Annam idu_ — share food, _Aaruvathu sinam_ — control anger, _Kalvi karavel_ — learn with focus, _Opuravam pesu_ — speak kindly, _Iyambar visumbil_ — aim high. For first-generation learners from farming homes, her presence turns old wisdom into daily habits. Woven into assembly, stories, and classroom rules, the statue makes values warm and lived, not lectured. The renovation proves a simple truth: timeless ethics need fresh care. Here, stone doesn’t preach. It reminds — _“Ozhukkam uyir inum mel”_ — character above life — and children practice it, every single day.🙏Govin

"Nimirnthu Nil: How Mahakavi Bharathiyar Teaches Courage at Rural Primary School "

Founded in *1947* in Mettumarudur, a farming village near Kulithalai, Tiruchirappalli District, SEVAI Natesan Govt Aided Primary School installed a *Mahakavi Subramania Bharathiyar statue in 1993* to teach courage before calculus. *Renovated in 2026* after 33 years, the statue continues to guide  the primary school students studying here today. It embodies Bharathi’s core call: _Achamillai_ — be fearless, _Kalvi_ for every child, _Pudhumai Penn_ for every girl, and dignity for every parent’s labour. For these learners from farming homes, his turban and unflinching gaze turn poetry into posture and self-respect. Woven into assembly, songs, and daily school life, the statue makes courage a habit, not a slogan. The children respect Bharathiyar not as a distant poet, but as a daily teacher of fearlessness. The renovation proves a simple truth: ideals don’t age, but they must be tended. Here, statue doesn’t stand silent. It commands _“Nimirthu nil”_ — stand tall — and a rural classroom obeys, every single day.🙏Govin
