Project “Pasum Pulari” was formally inaugurated by Coimbatore City Commissioner of Police Dr C Sylendra Babu IPS on 09th January 2011. A rally was organized from VOC Park to PRS grounds marking the beginning of this green endeavor and had the cheerful participation of more than 500 students from the various educational institutions in the city, along with the members of various NGOs in the city and Rapid Action Force. Dr. C Sylendra Babu IPS flagged off the rally at 08.00 AM near Pachai Nayagi, the mascot of Coimbatore.

The “WHY?”

Sky-rocketing temperatures, rising concrete jungles, raising dust winds, decreasing water tables - all have made life on earth a hot topic of debate in the recent years. Earth, our only planet, is in peril. The cries and hues to save earth have been so loud that we get little time to invest on actions.

Coimbatore Open Jail had a huge open space within their compound. Siruthuli joined hands with the inmates of Open Jail towards transforming that open space into a green valley and thereby create a lung space for Coimbatore.  

Vellalore Garbage Yard comprises solid wastes of total Coimbatore Corporation (having a depository of 5 lakh metric tons with daily additions of 600 metric tons) and four mega sized lagoons of drainage water (which is more than 30% of Coimbatore drainage that are sourced through under ground drainage pipes).   All these solid and liquid wastes are pooled within a 700 acre reserve site.   Due to these wastes, the neighborhood residents had a hell of their time due to bad odors, flies and mosquitoes.
