People of a village near the temple town of Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu have successfully began an afforestation programme without government support and cultivated trees in ten acres of land.
The model green village, Poonaithangal, lies 15 km from Kanchipuram and the villagers have spent their own money and worked hard for the afforestation project.
