This election season, from campaigns to celebrations, flowers have been used in large quantities across parties. Although these flowers are often left to rot on streets or dumped in garbage bins, this year, proactive citizens have collected and donated some of them to the Green Skills initiative at NIMHANS.
For instance, Padmashree Balaram, a resident of Koramangala, said that she donated over over 100 kg of flowers from the past three days from MLA Ramalinga Reddy’s house to the initiative.
The initiative at NIMHANS, in partnership with Craftizen Foundation, aims to empower those with intellectual disabilities and mental illnesses to earn a source of income and enhance their cognitive abilities.
