Plantation of trees, a project to save the girl child and adopting villages to empower women were the top three agendas of FICCI Ladies Organisation (FLO) celebrating their silver jubilee this year, on Friday in New Delhi.
Addressing the media persons here today, Ms. Anuradha Goel, president of FLO said, “The ‘Save the Girl Child’ project, to be launched on July 23 by Renuka Chaudhry, union minister for women& child development, has been designed to raise the awareness levels among women, children and the men folk in the villages and semi urban areas of the detrimental effext of the declining sex ratios in various parts of the country.”
Goel also stated that this year FLO would plant 2,500 trees throughout the country and make individuals become tree-custodians and impart training on how to nurture and care for tree saplings.
On how FLO intends to adopt villages, she added, “Our holistic approach would be to involve families into a community care, where women will be joined by children and men in the making of a model village.”

Maybe that’s why both of us are diagnosed as spastics-skeptics-ism... a disease of slow death...sweet death actually...of DIE-betes... though years later... IS YOUR COLOR GREEN? talks about...how green will soon be extinct in this world...as an evironmentalist, I care, do you? rather...don't you? or do you not want to? What does you dying existence tells you to do?
