Sadbhavana Vruddhashram’s Green Vision: 151 Crore Trees and Expanded Elderly Care

A dual mission of care and sustainability  

At a press meet in Mumbai, Sadbhavana Vruddhashram trustees Shri Vijay Dobaria and Shri Mital Khetani, joined by donors Shri Hasubhai Nagrecha and Smt Umiben Radia, unveiled the ambitious plan. The plantation drive seeks to combat climate change and promote ecological balance, while the expansion project at Rampar on Rajkot–Jamnagar Road will create the world’s largest free-care old-age home. With a focus on inclusivity, the initiative will provide shelter, medical support, and dignity to thousands of elderly individuals, particularly those who are poor or sick.  

 

Notable updates  

* 151 crore trees to be planted across India under the green initiative  

* ₹400 crore expansion to build seven 11-storey buildings in Rajkot  

* Capacity to house 5,000 elderly residents with free care facilities  

* Donors contributed ₹108 crore to support the project  

* Initiative combines environmental sustainability with social empowerment  

 

Sadbhavana Vruddhashram’s twin initiatives highlight a powerful blend of environmental stewardship and compassionate elderly care, positioning Rajkot as a hub of social and ecological transformation.
