About The Story
‘The Power of One.’ Each one of us has the power within us to do our bit to help people, the environment, and our flora and fauna. When we spot a problem, we may feel that we are too small or that our effort is too insignificant. Or that someone else out there will do something about it. In this inspiring story, sixteen-year-old Jadav from Assam, India, spots dead snakes washed ashore on a dry, degraded riverbank. Disturbed by this sign of ecological damage, he decides to act. With quiet determination, he begins planting trees—starting a lifelong journey that transforms a barren riverside into a lush, thriving forest. Based on the real-life environmentalist Jadav Payeng, this story celebrates resilience, personal responsibility, and the extraordinary impact of one young person.
