“We will continue Vivek’s initiative and plant the remaining 68 lakh saplings,” he added.

Will make sure that his wish be fulfilled. Thiru Vivek’s goal was to plant 1 crore saplings and he already could reach up to 32.5Lakhs. I personally see that the remaining task of his #GreenKalam project be completed under our #GreenIndiaChallenge and dedicate to him.#RIPVivekh pic.twitter.com/MYGFWOf6p1
