Indian Masterminds Stories

Can someone create 550 jungles in four years? Sounds impossible, right? But it’s true. And the person is neither a full-time environmental activist nor a forester. He is an Indian Revenue Services officer, a tax man, in common parlance. Meet Rohit Mehra, the IRS officer from the 2004 batch, who has earned the title of the Greenman of India.

Rohit’s work is nothing short of phenomenal! Imagine transforming urban landscapes with over 550 vertical gardens and planting nearly 7.5 lakh plants in just four years. This astounding feat means he planted 514 saplings every day during the past four years, all while managing a demanding 9 to 5 job that often stretches into late evenings if not midnight. His green revolution has turned concrete jungles into lush, green oases, making our cities more beautiful and environmentally friendly.

But that’s not all! Rohit has spearheaded the seed-ball movement in India, creating and distributing close to 20 lakh seed-balls in the past three years. He holds a record for this incredible achievement. These seed balls, simple yet powerful tools for reforestation, are scattered across barren lands, sprouting into trees that contribute to the environment.

His passion for reforestation doesn’t stop there. He has also created over 40 micro-jungles using the ancient principles of Vrikshayurveda and the modern Miyawaki method. These urban forests are not just patches of greenery but vital lungs for our cities, providing crucial green cover and biodiversity.

Get ready to be inspired by Rohit Mehra’s incredible journey, groundbreaking initiatives, and visionary plans for a greener, healthier future, in this exclusive video interview-
