The ceremony also commemorated the 30th anniversary of the Bhamla Foundation, celebrating three decades of grassroots environmental action while reinforcing an urgent national commitment to climate resilience, urban forestry and ecological restoration. The event witnessed the launch of the nationwide #NowForClimate campaign, the expansion of the Bhoomi Namaskar 2.0 movement and the unveiling of a powerful environmental anthem conceptualized by acclaimed filmmaker R. Balki and celebrated lyricist Prasoon Joshi. Further strengthening its vision for sustainable development, the Foundation announced the #DriveHerFuture initiative, which will introduce 1,000 women-driven electric rickshaws, seamlessly integrating clean mobility with women's economic empowerment.

Bringing together an inspiring confluence of environmental stewardship, public leadership and cultural influence, the event featured an esteemed panel of changemakers. Shriji shared the stage with renowned spiritual leader Shri Gaur Gopal Das, Michelin-starred chef Mr. Vikas Khanna and Mr. Sujit Patil of the Godrej Industries Group.
