In a conscientious step toward ecological enhancement and community well-being, Brigade Foundation launched a landmark tree planting drive, From Saplings to a Sanctuary. This initiative stems from Brigade Group’s Urban Forest philosophy, reinforcing our commitment to a sustainable future with 100,000 new trees being planted, on top of the 100,000 already flourishing across Bengaluru.
Symbolically inaugurated by Shri. M B Patil, Hon. Minister for Large and Medium Industries & Infrastructure Development, GoK, in the presence of Shri. K H Muniyappa, Hon. Minister for Food & Civil Supplies, GoK, and other dignitaries, this marks the beginning of what is certain to be a lush forest in the years to come.
These saplings will be planted in and around Brigade Group’s project in Bengaluru’s KIADB area, with the aim to reinforce these landscapes as thriving ecological reserves. Brigade Foundation has partnered with Bengaluru-based Vanantara, an ecologically focused firm to carry forward this initiative.

A Few Thoughts
Last few months have been tumultuous to the world order. As if the ongoing four-year Russia-Ukraine war is not enough, Israel and the United States have waged a war on Iran, resulting in destabilizing the world to a greater degree. The West Asia war has created havoc in the middle eastern countries, apart from several countries who depend on petroleum oil, particularly India. Our leaders have to intensify the efforts to reduce dependence on imported oil by increasing green power generation and by successfully identifying more sites for oil exploration. The on-again, off-again war has made many economies very volatile and has resulted in huge uncertainty for businesses and industries, apart from pushing up cost of living to the citizens across the world. As non-layers in this ongoing mindless war, we Indians can only hope and pray for normalcy to return soon.
