About Us

At Olirum Erodu Foundation, we are dedicated to transforming our district into a greener and more sustainable place to live. In collaboration with local communities, environmental groups, and various stakeholders, we are committed to addressing environmental challenges through large-scale tree plantation initiatives and other community-driven projects.

Our signature event, "விதை சிறிது விடை பெரிது", is a mega tree plantation drive that aims to plant over 10 lakh trees in a single day across Erode District. This ambitious project, set for 10th November 2024, marks the third edition of our initiative, following the success of our earlier drives in 2019 and 2023.

Beyond tree plantation, Olirum Erodu Foundation has undertaken several impactful projects to enhance the environmental and social well-being of the district.

Some of our key initiatives include:

  • Rejuvenation of Water Bodies: We have successfully rejuvenated over 51 water bodies across the district, restoring them to support sustainable agriculture and local ecosystems.
  • Waste Management Programs: Through various waste collection and recycling drives, we aim to reduce environmental pollution and promote eco-friendly practices among the community.
  • Educational Awareness Campaigns: We actively engage with schools and colleges, conducting awareness programs on environmental conservation and sustainability, helping the younger generation become active participants in climate action.

By leveraging the upcoming monsoon season, we ensure the saplings growth and survival, taking full advantage of favorable weather conditions. To ensure the long-term success of our projects, we have developed a comprehensive website and mobile application to monitor and track the progress of the saplings and engage participants continuously.

Our mission is to promote environmental sustainability, improve local biodiversity, and create a culture of proactive climate action in our community. Through ongoing tree plantation schemes and other community projects, we aim to inspire the people of Erode to take responsibility for their environment, contributing to a greener, healthier future for generations to come.
