Schoolgirl is brand ambassador for Green Manipur Mission

Schoolgirl is brand ambassador for Green Manipur MissionA 9-year-old girl in Manipur has been appointed a brand ambassador for the Chief Minister's Green Manipur Mission.

Why did they select her?

Elangbam Valentina Devi planted 2 Gulmohar trees by the side of a river when she was in Class 1.
 	She looked after them as part of a daily routine.
 	Over the last few years, the plants had grown into trees that she loved.

Last Saturday, the trees were cut down for a project to widen a road beside the river.

A video of her crying on seeing the trees cut down was shared on social media.
 	It was shared and seen by many people, including the Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh.

The Chief Minister immediately decided to take corrective action.

She was appointed a green ambassador for Manipur.
 	The state forest department provided 20 saplings which were planted along a 2 km road on her request.
 	All official tree plantation activities taken up by the state will recognize Elangbam Valentina Devi's love for trees
 	This will also help to generate awareness on the conservation of the environment.

One can never be too small to have an impact.
