Prashant Agrawal expressed his gratitude as the Indian High Commission partners up with the Namibia nation to mitigate climate change. He further highlighted that unchecked human consumptions, greed and wastage is the root cause of this crisis that stares us squarely in the face today. However, as the Indian nation celebrates the 150th birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, an Indian activist who was the leader of the Indian independence movement against British colonial rule, Agrawal indicated that the great Mahatma Gandhi was a champion of working with Nature, rather than against it and they are privileged to launch this tree plantation movement in memory of the late Mahatma Gandhi. \u201cI look up to this frail man, this great soul whose 150th Birth Anniversary is being observed all over the world this year. Mahatma Gandhi was an eco-warrior in truest sense\u201d.
