Contribution of Vrukshamate Saalumarada Thimmakka to Sustainable Environmental Development in Karnataka

Author(s) Dr. Basavaraju H. N., Dr. Poornima B. S.
Country India
Abstract Salumarada Thimmakka is a renowned environmentalist from Karnataka who has made a remarkable contribution to sustainable environmental development through her dedication to planting and protecting trees. Popularly known as “Vrukshamate” or Mother of Trees, she demonstrated how individual efforts can significantly improve the environment. Along with her husband Bikkala Chikkayya, she planted and nurtured hundreds of banyan trees along the roadside between Hulikal and Kudur. These trees have contributed to improving air quality, preventing soil erosion, supporting biodiversity, and providing shade and ecological balance in the region. Her efforts highlight the importance of a forestation and community participation in achieving environmental sustainability. The green corridor created by her tree plantation has become a symbol of dedication toward nature conservation in Karnataka. Her work has inspired many individuals, environmental groups, and government initiatives to promote tree planting and environmental awareness. In recognition of her contributions, she received the prestigious Padma Shri from the Government of India. Overall, Salumarada Thimmakka’s life and work demonstrate how grassroots efforts can play a vital role in promoting sustainable environmental development and protecting natural resources for future generations.
