Read Covering Letter – Rama’s squirrel calling ….. April 2025

22nd April is celebrated all over the world as “Earth Day”. This year the theme was “Our Power, Our Planet”. This theme emphasizes the collective responsibility of individuals, organizations, and governments to transition to renewable energy and create a sustainable future. It highlights the need for a global effort to protect the environment and address climate change. The project – Green Resilient Rameswaram which started in the year 2014 also follows the same principle of collective responsibility of the local stakeholders, institutions and line departments of the district administration.

Incidentally, Govt. of Tamil Nadu is planning to make Rameswaram a carbon-neutral hub. This initiative aims to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable practices in the city, including waste management, low-emission transportation, and afforestation.
