Plantation Initiatives: Over the past decade, Usirigaagi Hasiru has planted 48,000 saplings across Karnataka’s Bayaluseeme region, achieving a 65–70% survival rate. With active community participation and irrigation support, hundreds of schools - including 24 residential schools - have been transformed into thriving green campuses.


Seedlings: In collaboration with youth groups, NSS volunteers, like-minded community organizations, and MSW trainees, members lead rainy-season seed-sowing and seed-ball spreading initiatives in hill stations to support reforestation and ecological restoration across Karnataka.


Monitoring: Usirigaagi Hasiru conducts fortnightly visits for two years post-plantation, working with teachers, students, SDMCs, youth, and local communities to ensure sapling protection. These follow-ups maintain a 65-70% survival rate and foster active participation in creating and sustaining green school spaces.
