Forty-eight of fifty-five: a farmer's guavas in Mohanpur
A few years ago Ramkishore of Mohanpur received 55 fruit saplings from the campaign. He has kept 48 of them alive, and now sells his guavas himself.

A few years ago Ramkishore, a farmer of Mohanpur village in Bareilly, received 55 fruit saplings under the Vriksh Mitra–Gram Mitra Abhiyan. Through his own hard work and care, 48 of them are alive today.
In August 2023 his guava trees were heavy with sweet fruit, and Ramkishore was selling the guavas himself, going from street to street. For the Foundation his trees answer the three questions every drive is measured by: they are good for the environment, they put fruit on the family's plate, and they bring in an income.
