‘It is a great moment for all our work,’ says an emotional Dr V Selvarajan, founder of Green Circle. He adds, ‘In fact, I never even thought that it would be possible. When Green Circle was formed 25 years ago, in Delhi, it was a modest beginning. I had not even Rs 1000 to get it registered’. Green Circle has celebrated its Silver Jubilee at Dwarka New Delhi on 1.11.2025. Within 6 months, a land was allotted by Singanayakkanahalli Gram Panjayat office, which was earmarked for charitable organisations. MLA SR Viswanath was in all praise for Green Circle activities for protecting environment. He recommended to the PDO for allotment of land for its office. Nanje Gowda, a member of the Gram Panchayat and patron of Green Circle, pursued the matter and obtained the documents to the effect. The Panchayat office also requested Green Circle to develop a green patch around its office. Green Circle on 14.3.2026 arranged a Bhoomi Puja in the allotted land. For this purpose, the land was levelled using a JCB and garbage was removed. GC Members Selvarajan, Ramachandra, Kiran Taula, Kumar Kalyandurg, Vasanth Kumar, Vidyasagar Arya, and other members, were present. Harish Uthaiah, Managing Trustee, People’s Trust, was a special invitee for the occasion. Nanje Gowda started the Puja. Others Prof Ramappa, Prof Venkatesh, Kantharaj, Virabatrappa, Santosh were present. Puja was conducted by CRPF temple Pandit. Kiran Taula said, ‘it is a milestone in the history of Green Circle’ Vasanth Kumar added, ‘This is only a beginning, we will soon construct an ecofriendly office. The office will be surrounded by herbal garden. We are planning to make this location a green area’. The place was named as ‘Green Circle Vatika’.
