local initiative

In Malleyan, Punjab, heavy rains destroyed the only road linking two villages, stranding 35 schoolchildren. With floodwaters rising and no rescue in sight, two locals stepped in, forming a human bridge to help them cross safely. Their bravery turned a crisis into a story of courage and community.

Koodugal Trust, a Chennai-based initiative is transforming communities by combining education, conservation, & hands-on action to protect sparrows & inspire future generations to give back to nature.
