I started this initiative in February 2016 with the vision that “Not a single dry leaf should be burnt in India”. It has the unique concept of connecting “availability” with the “requirement”. The very first year, group members exchanged 10,000 gunny bags of leaves and the number has increased every year since then.  

This initiative that started in Pune city has now spread across India. I urged people to copy the concept and replicate the model in their own city.

Belgaum city now has its very own ‘Sukha Patta’ initiative, on the lines of Brown Leaf.
