Paryavaran Ambassador Dr APJ Abdul Kalam planted a sapling of Calophyllum inophyllum (Undi or Indian Laurel Tree) at Yashada where the launch event was held. Undi is a tree species indigenous to western India and used for medicinal purposes.

Dr Kalam told the students about a 106 year old Sita Ashok tree in his house in Delhi, which supports many different creatures and is an ecosystem in itself.
