Also, on the eve of World Earth Day, a mass plantation drive was carried out in the Mahabodhi campus. Founders of Golden Mile, school students and the members of Mahabodhi planted apricot orchards.

The plantation drive was organised in collaboration with Global Interfaith WASH Alliance (GIWA), and Save the Himalaya Foundation. 

Srinivasan, Founders of Golden Mile said, “We have been associated with Ladakh since 2013 and trying to bring digital education in Ladakh and a golden future and that’s how our name has come as Golden Mile”.

“We are now prevalent in about 25 schools of the remote part Ladakh and closely associated with around 5000 children. Environment, employment, and education are the three aspects which have to go very closely together, so we are absolutely committed," he added.
