Vriksh Mitra–Gram Mitra Abhiyan 2022–23, Mathura

In 2022–23 the campaign returned to Mathura district with the support of Swami Vivekanand Health Mission Society, Dehradun, and our individual donors. Over ten months, 56,000 fruit saplings reached 7,612 families, at a project cost of ₹33.19 lakh.

Trees distributed

Amrapali mango, grafted jackfruit, grafted guava, grafted lemon, pomegranate and desi jamun.

Impact

Green cover and soil protected in the villages, with food and income for the families once the trees began to bear fruit. The post-plantation surveys of early 2022 in Mathura found about 70% of the earlier trees surviving.
