Actor Vivekh, true to his image as ���a man of social consciousness��� has ventured into a mass campaign christened Green Kalam Project aimed at saving the planet. Under the able guidance of former president Dr A P J Abdul Kalam, he has already planted more than 13 lakh trees in a span of less than three months.
On this remarkable feat, the actor, who is known for his rib-tickling comedy blended with social messages, says, ���Though I was given a target of 10 lakh by Abdul Kalam
ji, we were able to achieve this feat principally and practically only with the awareness and cooperation of the public, school children and administrations in particular.
I make special mention of my friend Murugan and Mullaivanam of
Tree Bank without whose help we wouldn���t have travelled so far. I have been getting excellent reviews for my performance in my recent film
Murratu Kaalai and it gives me immense satisfaction to have a successful professional and social image.���
On the occasion of planting trees at the vicinity of Shri Satya Sai Viswaroopa Baba at Valasaravakkam, the actor was seen accepting accolades and wishes for both his screen and social image, braving the heavy rain that lashed the city recently.
