A special Guava sapling will be planted at Delhi’s 7, Lok Kalyan Marg, which is the official residence of the Prime Minister thanks to a student from Kerala. Jayalakshmi, a student of class X, had bagged the Kerala Government’s ‘Karshaka Thilakam’ Award for maintaining an organic farm in her courtyard.
Veteran Malayalam actor Suresh Gopi who had received the sapling from Jayalaxmi had promised to present it to Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself in his next trip to the national capital.
In a Facebook post, the actor-turned-politician stated that
the sapling from a village in Kerala’s Pathanamthitta district was presented to the Prime Minister, as promised. Sharing a photo, he also added that PM Narendra Modi had accepted the sapling wholeheartedly and assured to have it planted in his official residence.
