Why Students are Important for Greener Future? | Jadav Payeng | TEDxIIMKashipur

Can we sustain if we don't know how to grow trees? Forest man of India, Jadhav Payeng talks about his personal journey of planting a complete forest in Brahmaputra basin and how important it is for students to learn practically how to grow trees.
Jadav "Molai" Payeng (born 1963) is an environmental activist and forestry worker from Jorhat, popularly known as the Forest Man of India. Over the course of several decades, he has planted and tended trees on a sandbar of the river Brahmaputra turning it into a forest reserve. The forest, called Molai forest after him, is located near Kokilamukh of Jorhat, Assam, India and encompasses an area of about 1,360 acres / 550 hectares. In 2015, he was honoured with Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian award in India.

At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations) Popularly known as the ‘Forest Man of India’, Mr. Jadav "Molai" Payeng is a famous environmental activist and forestry worker from Jorhat, Assam. Mr. Jadav single-handedly planted an enitre forest in Majuli Island in Assam. The forest, called Molai forest after him, encompasses an area of about 1,360 acres and attracts an abundant audience of animals every year. This incredible journey started in the year 1979 when Mr. Jadav, alarmed by the huge devastation caused to the island after bouts of floods and droughts, decided to transform the eroded island by planting a sapling every day for 35 years in the barren soil. Today, after 40 years of determined and dedicated efforts, the Molai forest is amongst the largest man-made forests of the country. He was honored with the 4th highest civilian award in India, Padma Shri, in 2015 for his unwavering dedication and his immense contribution towards environment and wildlife protection. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
