Shiv shankar and his brother, Dayal Bapu B N run an NGO named Mukthidhama, which has created a tree memorial for war heroes and famous personalities. This time he planned his younger brother Dayal Bapu wedding to be different and to help Bangalore to make greener a bit.
For the wedding of Dayal Bapu B N was an effort to build eco-consciousness among people through sapling distribution, tree planting, and awareness talks by eminent personalities. 2000 saplings were distributed to the guests and the couple planted a sapling in front of the G N R Kalyan Mantap in Jayanagar T Block.
LIFE members participated in distributing the saplings.Tree plantation awareness and donating saplings was the highlight of the program. Any invitees who are leaving the wedding hall volunteers like us were giving a sapling of Honge and explaining its benefits like, less water consuming to grow, low maintenance cost, no fence required as no animals will eat the plant, medium height growing tree, ideal to plant road side, providing fresh oxygen, cool shade.

Scientifically Honge is called as Pongamia pinnata, which is very common in south East Asia. You can see a lot of these trees on inner and outer ring roads of Bangalore.
We experienced variety of people.
Much of the people were surprised with idea but still interested to be part of the green drive. Few were enquiring as flower bearing tree, can they plant in pot,
Usually we were giving one sapling per person and explaining the need of green to live and explaining the planting method and benefits of a sapling.
Few were grabbing 2-3 trees and promised to plant soon.
Few were very intelligent deaf to hear the awareness and running towards the exit!
Children were more enthusiastic in general.
Senior BJP leader and Basanagudi MLA Shri Vijayakumar spoke to the media on the occasion of the Green Wedding of Dayal Bapu B N and Megha H and highlighted the need to build eco-consciousness. The bridegroom's brother, Shri B N Shivashankar is also seen in the picture.
Overall had a satisfaction that I am part of saving earth.
Many of the volunteers were part of the noble cause, and we thank them one and all.
