Not every legacy is built in boardrooms. Some grow quietly under open skies. In a heartwarming gesture, the staff of Karnataka’s Badami forest range came together to celebrate the retirement of Shri Parasappa Choudaker, who dedicated 41 years to nurturing the nursery that sustains the region’s green cover. Season after season, Shri Choudaker tended every sapling, watching tiny seeds grow into towering trees that now breathe life into Badami. As he retires, his colleagues came together to honour not just his years of service, but his quiet devotion that will live on in every leaf and every breeze. Shri Choudaker, You didn’t just grow a nursery. You grew hope. Here’s to 41 years of growing life. ❤️ Video credits: @dipika_bajpa on X, Mahesh Marennavar, RFO, Badami Range #foresthero #badamiforest #environmentalhero #positivenews #inspiring #retirement [Badami forest range, nursery, Karnataka, inspiring,forestry service, retirement]
