About Plant Scholar
Many plantation campaigns end on planting day. Without ownership and monitoring, trees planted with good intentions often fail to survive. Plant Scholar closes that gap: every selected youth becomes a Plant Scholar who takes personal responsibility for planting, caring for, reporting on, and protecting their assigned tree - combining plantation, long-term care, GIS-based monitoring, SAT-MRV tracking, and scholarship recognition.
How it works
Every scholar follows the same accountable path from sapling to scholarship.
- Step 1
Select scholars
Students and youth from schools, colleges, universities, districts, and communities join the program.
- Step 2
Distribute saplings
Each scholar receives a suitable sapling along with clear care instructions.
- Step 3
Plant & geo-tag
Trees are planted and recorded with exact location, species, and scholar information.
- Step 4
Care & report
Scholars submit periodic photo updates and care reports right from the app.
- Step 5
Monitor survival
SRCL and partners track survival, growth, and care quality through GIS and satellite-based (SAT-MRV) monitoring.
- Step 6
Earn scholarship
Successful care and survival earn Brikkho Britti (Plant Scholarship) recognition.
- Step 7
Generate impact data
Verified data supports ESG, CSR, carbon reporting, and SDG contributions.
Technology-based monitoring
Every tree is tracked with the exact GPS location, scientific and local species names, regular care reports, and a live survival status - alive, at-risk, or not surviving - plus an estimate of CO₂ sequestered.
Tree survival
A focus on long-term care, growth, and protection, not just a planting-day photo.
Youth leadership
Builds a responsible, climate-aware network of young tree guardians.
Climate data
Every tree contributes to carbon sequestration and environmental reporting.
Partnership value
Creates CSR, ESG, and carbon-credit-aligned opportunities for partner organizations.
Aligned with the SDGs
Plant Scholar’s impact model contributes directly to four Sustainable Development Goals.
