Sat Sri Akal and warm greetings to all listeners around the world. I’m Ravee Singh Ahluwalia, founder of the Patiala Foundation – an organization committed to building sustainable communities through grassroots action.

On this Earth Day 2025, I invite you to reflect on a truth that is becoming impossible to ignore: Our planet doesn’t need saving. We do. What Earth needs is for us to reclaim our relationship with nature — with every tree we plant, every pond we rejuvenate, and every ounce of waste we compost.

At Patiala Foundation, our efforts range from creating eco-conscious student societies, setting up Dry Leaf Composters in households and public parks, to our most recent collaboration with IIT Madras and ICCW for India’s first Clean & Safe Drinking Water Project in Ranbirpura. We use natural water purification systems like vetiver pontoons and canna indica islands to rejuvenate dying ponds — blending tradition with innovation.

To all the creators out there — you have the power to inspire action. Whether you sing, speak, or shoot — create content that speaks for the soil, the water, the forests, and the future. Make sustainability your story.

This Earth Day, let’s not just post about the planet. Let’s act for it.

Happy Earth Day. Let’s grow together.
