Planting
PRDS, with the support of Francesco Tamma: Love in Action, has initiated a project to green the community with a planting program taking place in about ten villages across Kothacheruvu, Puttaparthi, and Bukkapatnammandal. PRDS will plant shade-generating trees and vegetation which have multipurpose advantages for both people and eco-environmental promotion and protection.
The proposed plantings will be in identified colonies, in the backyards of households, and in the villages’ roadsides.

Objectives of this program:
- To strive for eco-environmental development and protection through plantings
- To support the health among poor families living in the small colonies and in the huts by way of growing plants like Drumsticks, Lemon, Curry leaf—the usufructs of which can be included in their daily meals
- To promote inclusion of greens and vegetables in the daily diet by promoting kitchen gardens in the households / backyards of the economically poor families
