A man in Karnataka's Honnakiranagi, Sadashiva Hydra, helped his village transform a 1,600-acre barren land into a thriving green cover with nearly 65,000 trees. Sadashiva, a daily wage labourer, decided to take up this initiative after seeing many villagers leave amid soaring summer temperatures. The village has reportedly become nearly 3°C cooler, with over 1,050 villagers now working locally.
