Young environmental enthusiast transforms floor into canvas to spread message of conservation of traditional seeds

Blessi, a young environmental enthusiast from Suddala village in Rajanna Sircilla district, transformed the ground into a canvas and created an artwork welcoming Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Telangana.

As a gesture of welcoming the Prime Minister to Telangana, Blessi arranged seeds of tamarind, custard apple and other traditional fruits on the floor of his house in an impressive pattern.

Blessi, along with his father Prakruthi Prakash, had earlier collected a large number of traditional fruit seeds as part of the green area in the Rajanna Sircilla area. They are known for their green initiatives such as distributing seed balls mainly in forest edge areas to increase tree cover and spread the message of conservation of traditional seed varieties.
