M. SELVARASU   ‘Make this world a little better because we came into it’

A small sentence with few words but enormous impact on my mind, body and intellect.

In fact after a long stint in the corporate and institutional world, there was a deep urge in me to be part of a movement that would make a world of difference to the world that we live in. And what better movement can it be than the one for a greener world? With this clarity and vision, I have chosen to be part of the Green movement that would make this world a better place to live….for us and for our future generations.
