short by Sunny Sharma / on Monday, 22 June, 2026
A 52-year-old man from Uttar Pradesh has been carrying a 500-litre water tank on a handcart to water roadside plants every morning for the last 12 years. Known locally as "Oxygen Baba", Gopal Kumar supports his family by making clay pots. He began the initiative after noticing that many newly planted saplings dried up because nobody watered them.
