Welcome to the November edition of our newsletter! We’re inching towards the end of the year; it’s always a strange feeling, isn't it? It feels like you’ve achieved a lot, but it also feels like there’s so much more you could have done. Here at Go Tamil Nadu, we are lucky enough to have the opportunity every month to talk to people who have achieved exactly what they set out to do. It makes you think, if you believe in yourself and your vision, anything is possible.
This month, we covered some true visionaries in the fields of food, both for babies and pets, a publishing house associated fondly with many childhoods, and an NGO dedicated to trees and their preservation. Read more about them here!

Nizhal – Building a Rooted Revolution Under the Shade
|
|
Nizhal, by Shobha Menon, is quietly transforming Chennai, one tree, one walk, and one volunteer at a time. It is a community-led movement that revives neglected spaces, improves people's relationships with nature, and nurtures neighbourhoods and minds. The Chennai-based NGO was founded in September 2005, when a small
group of tree lovers came together to make a difference in Chennai by working with communities toward sensitive greening practices.
