Go Green Ganesha Campaign
Go Green Ganesha Campaign 2018 by
TV9 was telecast LIVE on 15th September. It is an annual event of the channel
to promote eco - friendly clay Ganesh idols. Inspired by the channel's
campaigning past three years, awareness among people of two Telugu states has
grown manifold and people started to worship environment friendly idols in
large numbers. Many celebrities have participated in LIVE show and supported
TV9's effort in promoting environment friendly Ganeshas.
This year TV9 teamed up with Green
Warriors - a student organisation of Shreyas Engineering College at Nagole in
Hyderabad. Nearly two thousand idols were made with clay that were later
immersed in buckets filled with water. The astounding response of students and
their eco friendly initiative has been recognized and appreciated when the
college made an entry into the "Asian Book of Records". Also
seed embedded clay Ganesh idols were encouraged for the seed to sprout into
saplings in pots. TV9 had also held eco - friendly idol making workshops in
many Government schools in Hyderabad, Warangal, Mahabubnagar, Khammam of
Telangana and Vizag, Vijayawada, Nellore districts in Andhra Pradesh where
thousands of children participated. Children pledged their support to save
environment and said no to chemically harmful POP idols. TV9 strives to imbibe
and instill eco - friendly environmental ideas and practices in future
generations.
From many years TV9 has been trying
to be a role model in the making of a huge eco- friendly Ganesh to show people
that it is possible to have greener options instead of POP idols prevalent for
the festival all over the country.
In 2015 September TV9 in
association with Doondi Ganesh Seva Samiti set up eco- friendly Ganesh at
Ghantasala Sangeeta Kalasala in Vijayawada. The sixty three feet tallest
Ganesh entered the Limca Book of Records. In the making of Ganesh twenty-five
tonnes of iron, thirty tonnes of wood, seventy tonnes of clay and one a
half-ton of coconut fibre was used. On an average two lakh people visited the
idol everyday for a period of eleven days. Celebrities also graced the
festivities
