Every citizen rupee is invested in a tree and renewable energy

• Afforesting 31 million hectares of denuded land

• Greening India for carbon neutrality

• Investment in afforestation @ Rs. 5 per sq m

• Empowering India's women with a minimum daily wage

• India's village women become custodians of the renewed forests
  

• A national partnership of government, corporations and citizens to restore India's bio-diversity for the next generation

Billion Beejams is a project involving the afforestation of India at the rate of a billion seed balls a year to green 31 million hectares of denuded land and neutralise India's carbon footprint.

It is a project inspired by Japanese environmentalist Masanobu Fukuoka, undertaken by C+ive Foundation in partnership with the Alt Tech Foundation www.atfindia.org

Beejams include the seeds of 22 of India's hardiest tree species encased in a nutrient casing that replicates the excreta casing of animals and birds.

This casing ensures a hibernation period of up to 90 days, allowing germination to occur as and when environmental conditions are most appropriate.

For the price of nurturing one sapling by human hand (i.e. Rs. 100/-), Nature can nurture 20 seed balls into full grown trees.

It will cost the citizen Rs. 5 per sq m. to afforest India.

ISRO's remote sensing satellites will provide monthly updates on-line monitoring the progress of your green investment in India.

Each rupee you invest and square metre you green shall:

• Empower a woman in an Indian village with the minimum daily wage, making 1000 beejams (seedballs) a day.

• Empower village women as custodians of the renewed forests

• Enhance the corpus for C+ive's Chillar_Small Change Fund for Renewable Energies and Rural Innovation.
