]]>One of the most effective strategies to combat these challenges is afforestation. By planting trees, we create natural carbon sinks that absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. Beyond sequestering carbon, trees enhance biodiversity, improve air quality, and offer resilience against the effects of climate change.
Recognising the gravity of the climate situation, India has initiated various efforts to encourage people to increase green cover in metropolitan areas. Missions such as the National Afforestation Programme (NAP), the National Mission for a Green India (GIM), the Forest Fire Prevention and Management Scheme (FFPM), and the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam Abhiyaan’ launched to promote afforestation in urban cities. PM urged citizens to take a selfie at your Kitchen Garden and with the saplings planted on social media to take the movement to masses engaging people in greening their locality.
Aligned with these government initiatives, the Planet & Wellbeing project, a CSR initiative of VOIS, designed and executed by the Vodafone Idea Foundation and implemented by Indev Consultancy, is making significant strides in urban afforestation. Over the years under the initiative around 45,000 trees have been planted in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Pune. Plantation has been done using Miyawaki method under which saplings grows 10 times faster, 30 times denser, and absorb more carbon compared to traditional plantation methods.
It has brought transformation in the landscape and has turned barren spaces into vibrant ecosystem for biodiversity to thrive and has improved the green cover in urban settings, contributing to biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and climate resilience. This has created vibrant green zones via cooperation with important stakeholders such as Municipal Corporations, Industrial Corporations, the Forest Department, and the Air Force. The saplings are maintained for two years until they create a self-sustaining environment in which biodiversity may thrive. After a year, the plantation site saw abundant biodiversity—the aroma of flowering flowers, the buzz of bees, and the joyous chirping of birds.
As per the globally accredited methodology provided in the studies by IPCC, FAO, & UNFCCC, the plantations done till now have showcased a remarkable stride in battling carbon emissions, with an estimated 20,238.20 kg CO₂ sequestered by 2024. The trees will trap an estimated 37,718.30 kg CO₂ in the coming year, helping to mitigate climate change and have a favourable influence on the environment. Beyond reducing greenhouse gas emissions, these plantation initiatives have increased biodiversity, improved air quality, and enhanced urban ecosystems in these locations.
This initiative not only addresses local environmental challenges but also aligns with India’s broader commitments under the Paris Agreement to combat climate change. Planet & Wellbeing project contributes to a national movement aimed at mitigating global warming and achieving a net-zero future.
Beyond planting trees, the Planet & Wellbeing project fosters climate awareness among students, and youth enriches knowledge through a dynamic hub VOISPLANET (https://voisplanet.com/ ), and leverages innovative tools to inspire actionable climate solutions within communities. The initiative exemplifies a model of sustainable development that aligns with India’s commitments under the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
As we continue to face the impacts of climate change, there is a dire need for collective efforts to showcase the transformative power of collective action. With the support of communities, government authorities, and corporates, we can make meaningful progress toward greening urban spaces and creating a sustainable future.

This achievement, made possible by the SSI Mantra 3 Surgical Robotic System, involved connecting SS Innovations’ headquarters in Gurugram with Manipal Hospital in Jaipur, Rajasthan, spanning a distance of 286 kilometres. This historic milestone paves the way for a future where advanced surgical technology becomes a key component of accessible and efficient global healthcare.
The Telerobotic-assisted Internal Mammary Artery Harvesting procedure conducted remotely was successfully completed in just 58 minutes. Led by Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of SS Innovations International, Inc., from the SSI Headquarters in Gurugram, and supported by Dr. Lalit Malik, Chief of Cardiac Surgery at Manipal Hospital, Jaipur, along with his expert team at the remote location in Jaipur, the surgery demonstrated exceptional precision with an incredibly low latency of just 35-40 milliseconds (1/20th of a second). This groundbreaking procedure was followed by another world-first, a Robotic Beating Heart Totally Endoscopic Coronary Artery Bypass (TECAB), a procedure known as one of the most complex Cardiac Surgical procedures; performed via telesurgery under the same collaboration, with an incredibly low latency of just 40 milliseconds.
Both surgeries, connected Gurgugram to Jaipur, and showcased seamless teamwork across long distances, setting a new standard for remote surgical interventions. These achievements underscore the transformative potential of telesurgery in overcoming geographical barriers, enabling timely, high-quality medical care with unparalleled accuracy.
The SSI Mantra 3 Surgical Robotic System is the only robotic system in the world to have received regulatory approval for telesurgery and tele-proctoring. Approved by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), this validation opens the door to remote surgeries and medical education, enabling healthcare professionals to collaborate across distances. It highlights the transformative potential of technology in enhancing the accessibility and precision of healthcare, revolutionizing how surgeries are performed on a global scale. By bringing world-class medical expertise to even the most remote corners of the globe, it sets a groundbreaking precedent for the future of remote healthcare, reshaping patient care.
Expressing immense gratitude for this historic feat, SS Innovations Founder, Chairman, and CEO, Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, said, “We are extremely thrilled to have advanced the capabilities of surgery to benefit humanity, especially in areas that need it the most. By enabling telesurgery, we can bridge gaps in access to medical expertise and deliver the highest standard of care, regardless of geographical barriers. For a country like India, with its vast rural population and significant healthcare disparities, this innovation is transformative. Telesurgery brings world-class surgical expertise directly to underserved communities, eliminating the need for patients to travel long distances to urban centres for specialized care. It ensures timely interventions while reducing logistical and financial burdens on families. With the recent CDSCO approval for telesurgery using SSI Mantra, we have not just advanced technology; we have fulfilled our mission to democratize access to robotic surgery. Our goal has always been to make advanced surgical care affordable and accessible, and telesurgery now allows us to extend the reach of skilled surgeons to every corner of our nation, fundamentally changing the way healthcare is delivered.”
Dr. Lalit Malik, Chief of Cardiac Surgery at Manipal Hospital, Jaipur, said, “This groundbreaking inter-state robotic cardiac telesurgery marks a significant leap in enhancing patient care through innovation. The remote robotic-assisted CABG on an elderly patient from Jaipur exemplifies how technology is bridging geographical gaps to provide accurate and timely medical interventions. This achievement underscores our dedication to offering world-class healthcare and ensuring patients have access to the most advanced treatment options available.”
Commenting on this milestone, Dr. Fredric Moll, Father of Surgical Robotics, and Founder of Intuitive Surgical and SS Innovations International, Inc Vice-Chairman, said, “I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Srivastava and the entire SSI team on the successful achievement of performing the world’s first robotic cardiac telesurgeries. It is delightful to see just how far we have come since the inception of surgical robotics more than 20 years ago. As many may recall, the original robotic system was designed to achieve two things, remote surgery and the ability to perform coronary bypass surgery in a complete closed chest approach. My approach was this, if you could perform beating heart bypass surgery with the robot, then all other procedures would be possible. Due to the bandwidth limitations at the time, the telesurgery goal was put on hold while we further broadened the applications of the robotic system across all specialties. I believe that SS Innovations has seized the opportunity, to not only develop the next generation of a surgical robotic system, but to also push the envelope of just what was dreamed more than 20 years ago, achieving a successful demonstration of telesurgery coupled along with a highly complex cardiac surgical procedure. With this achievement, I have no doubt that certainly more opportunities will present themselves as we have now entered into a new paradigm shift towards surgery and how we will soon approach it.”
This historic achievement marks a significant step forward in India’s healthcare landscape, with SSI leading the charge in revolutionizing surgical care through both cutting-edge technology coupled with a humanitarian vision. The approval of Telesurgery and Tele proctoring capabilities for SSI Mantra Surgical Robotic Systems not only underscores the company’s commitment to innovation but also opens up new possibilities for accessible, high-quality healthcare across India and beyond. As SS Innovations continues to push the boundaries of medical technology, it remains dedicated to transforming healthcare delivery, making advanced treatments more accessible, and ultimately improving the lives of patients worldwide.
