In its longstanding partnership with Rotary Club, Ryan Group of Institutions started its ambitious 1Million Tree Plantation Drive, a year-long sustainability initiative across the country coinciding with Mr. Ravishankar Dakoju taking charge as the District Governor 3192 of Rotary International.
The initiative was ceremonially flagged off from NMKRV College, Bengaluru on June 30, and will be implemented simultaneously across Ryan campuses in Hyderabad, Pune, Jaipur, Mumbai, Delhi, Surat, Bolpur (West Bengal), Kochi, and Chennai.
Moving beyond a one-day plantation activity, the drive represents a sustained green movement throughout the academic year 2026–27, with saplings being planted, nurtured, and monitored across Ryan Group’s extensive network of schools. The initiative reflects the shared values of Rotary and Ryan Group — service above self, community responsibility, and a commitment towards building a greener future for the next generation.
Addressing the gathering, Mr. Ryan Pinto, CEO, Ryan Group of Institutions, began his speech stating ““Through this action, we are not only planting trees but also safeguarding the future of our children and the generations that follow. At a time when the world faces increasing environmental challenges, it is our collective responsibility to leave behind a greener and healthier planet. Every sapling planted today represents hope, responsibility, and a commitment to sustainable living.”
Ravishankar Dakoju, District Governor, Rotary International, added, “The Rotary-Ryan partnership beautifully aligns with our shared vision of creating meaningful community impact. This initiative is a testament to how collective action can drive sustainable change and inspire young minds to become responsible stewards of the environment.”
