Read Covering Letter – Rama’s squirrel calling ….. September 2025
Dear Friends,
Namaskaram.
The Tamil Nadu government’s plan for a “carbon neutral Rameswaram” involves making it a carbon-neutral hub by focusing on renewable energy, sustainable transportation (including low-emission public transit and e-auto-rickshaws), comprehensive waste management through bio-CNG plants and biomining, and increased afforestation to enhance carbon sinks. It is a welcome move and will strengthen our efforts of the last decade to make Green Resilient Rameswaram.
