Community-led action is the heart of sustainable change. On Friday, July 31, 2026, Kalinga Yuva Sena Trust organized a successful Mega Plantation Drive at Raja Madhusudan Dev College, Patia, Bhubaneswar. Mrs. Pranati Das (MD, Sea Pearl Hotels), Prasant Rout Sir (Principal, RMD College, Patia), the dedicated NSS student volunteers of RMD College and the volunteers of our trust joined hands to make this event a grand success and planted over 100 trees. Chairman of the trust, Mr. Chandrasekhar Das extended his deepest gratitude to the invited guests and volunteers urging the community to actively protect the environment and nurture a greener, healthier future.

In a unique blend of environmental consciousness and tradition, a group of young volunteers from the Kalinga Yuva Sena in Bhubaneswar has handcrafted 1,000 miniature boats using an unexpected material: cow dung. Distributed free of charge for the Kartika Purnima festival, these sustainable boats dissolve in water within an hour, becoming natural food for aquatic life and leaving no harmful trace behind.

Key Highlights of the Initiative:

• Sustainable Alternative: Replaces conventional, environmentally damaging plastic and thermocol boats.
• Dual Purpose: Honours traditional religious rituals while actively addressing modern environmental concerns.
