K Mahesh Shenoy, a dedicated social worker, is being recognised for introducing the Miyawaki forest concept to Udupi six years ago. His first project was named in memory of his grandfather, and since then, 16 similar projects have been initiated, resulting in the planting of over 1,000 saplings.

    Kudos to your achievement for receiving an award on karnatak Rajyotsava day. Mobilisation of thousands of people to Miyawaki forestation is not an easy task. Your zeal to achieve the goal by kindling social awareness among the public at large is really great. This will go in a long way to preserve the environment and fight against deforestation I wish a great success in your future endeavours. With best wishes TARA G GOLE PUNE.
