In a remarkable display of unity and environmental consciousness, residents from more than 1000+ high rise premium societies of Noida participated in a walkathon and tree plantation drive organized by ICARE Eye Hospital, Sector-26, Noida, in partnership with Apartment Times, the leading newsletter of Gautam Buddha Nagar in association with NOFAA (Noida Federation of Apartment Owners Associations) & NEFOWA (New Era Flat Owners Welfare Association). This event, held to commemorate India’s 76th Independence Day, aimed to raise awareness about the urgent need to combat global warming and protect our environment.
Adding to the prestige of the event was the presence of Param Veer Chakra awardee Capt. Yogendra Yadav. Capt. Yadav, a retired commissioned officer from the Indian Army, earned the esteemed Param Veer Chakra, the highest wartime gallantry award in India, for his valorous actions during the Kargil War. He is the youngest recipient of PVC, having received it at the age of 19. Renowned RJ Divya from Radio City also graced the occasion.
Commenting on the event, Param Veer Chakra Capt. Yadav stated, “This event brought together the spirit of unity and the urgency of environmental conservation. Every step we take in this walkathon and every tree we plant is a testament to our commitment to a better future for ourselves and our planet. Let us continue to stand together, not only to remember our nation’s Independence but also to safeguard the world we share. Each small action can create a ripple of positive change, and I am confident that together, we can make a difference. My heartfelt gratitude to ICARE Eye Hospital and Apartment Times for orchestrating this impactful event.”
“Being part of this walkathon and tree plantation drive has been an incredibly fulfilling experience. It’s heartening to witness our community coming together for a cause that transcends boundaries – our environment. As we take each step and plant each tree, we sow the seeds of a greener and healthier future. Let’s keep nurturing not only the saplings but also the spirit of unity and responsibility. Together, we’re amplifying the message that positive change begins with us, right here and right now.” Said RJ Divya, Radio City.
