Not only the outdoor, but the indoor air quality is also the reason for a number of diseases adding to the health burden of a country. Any effort to save the environment is worth while. The Green Chain Initiative was adopted on 1st July 2018, the idea is gifting an indoor plant saplings to friends and relatives on special occasions and asking them to further gift a set of two saplings to their friends and relatives, thus propagating the green chain of indoor plants. By the end of the year, starting from one plant it was expected that even if ten percent complied, a few thousands of plants would be contributing to improving the air quality indoors. A program to create awareness about this was conducted for student and faculty of government Polytechnic Shivajinagar on 21st July . Presentation was made and 150 saplings were gifted. The progress of the chain can be followed on facebook page Green Chain. https://www.facebook.com/pg/Green-Chain-1853949274902494/posts/?ref=page_internal The plants gifted were of special variety especially known to be good for removing pollutants from indoors.
